DL Open Thread Tuesday March 21 2023
Nice prep work! Trump called in to ‘Pastor’s for Trump’ for a National Prayer on the eve of his possible indictment. When the host asked him to name a specific prayer that he would like to request, he suddenly had technical difficulties with his phone. (Audio) I wrote a couple of post yesterday that I […]
Tennessee to make drag performers register and wear pink triangles
Ok. No pink triangles yet. But this makes it seem inevitable. You thought the Tennessee drag ban was bad? wait til you see TN 841. This bill would force REGISTRATION of “male or female impersonators” by means of forcing them to register for permits. It does not define what an impersonator is. @ErinInTheMorn Note how […]
Delaware GOP asked “12 business leaders” ?
Delaware GOP asked “12 business leaders” for their thoughts on how the state can “support economic growth and improve the lives of workers” That’s great. Whatever. But just check out the failsons and professional grifters that pass for a “business leader” for the DEGOP: 1. “Delaware is an extraordinary place, but the state can do a better job […]
Song of the Day 3/20: Traffic, “Medicated Goo”
If you thought idiots dosing themselves with cattle dewormer would stop being a thing now that COVID is receding, you don’t know the persistence of idiots. You might have seen the news last week when an “ivermectin influencer” named Danny Lemoi died when his enlarged heart gave out. That might have killed him without the […]
Why White Christian Nationalists Are Doomed
It’s inevitable. Because Demographics Are Destiny: The white Christian portion of the U.S. adult population includes 14% who are white evangelical Protestant, 14% who are white mainline (non-evangelical) Protestant, 13% who are white Catholic, and small proportions of white Latter-Day Saints, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Orthodox Christians. The proportion of white evangelical Protestants in the population […]
DL Open Thread Monday March 20 2023
We have a very exciting week in store for you news nerds. A Trump perp walk? Or a David Koresh style apocalyptic last stand? Or, more likely, neither? Is It Tuesday or No? by Josh Marshall I have been assuming that Trump’s unhinged reference to his being “arrested” on Tuesday is based on what Alvin […]
Poll Results and This Week’s Poll – Who is worse?
61% of DL lurkers and commenters chose “Fuck No” when asked, “Do you think Carper or Coons will admit that the votes they lent to Trump’s vandalism of Dodd-Frank were dead wrong?” Of course that was the correct answer. The US Senate is the worst, and Coons and Carper are the worst of the worst. […]
…by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication…
As Trump threatens violence and every Republican is trying to intimidate Bragg in various ways, one wonders why “obstruction of justice” isn’t on the lips of every reporter. Is a favorite phrase when one of the Clintons is involved. by Atrios Under the special Trump rules everyone appears to recognize, none of this applies to […]
Coons’ vote to destabilize American banking still destabilizing as Midsize banks seek FDIC protections
When Chris Coons voted to support Trump’s vandalism of Dodd-Frank he probably knew he was voting to put taxpayers on the hook for very predictable losses and bank failures. That’s just the risk you have to take in order to make sure banks don’t miss out on huge potential profits. Midsize U.S. banks reportedly ask […]
