Improve Wages And Benefits–Or Die. There’s nothing the Delaware Restaurant Association can do about it: Nearly three years since the coronavirus pandemic upended the labor market, restaurants, bars, hotels and casinos remain short-staffed, with nearly 2 million unfilled openings. The leisure and hospitality industry, which before the pandemic accounted for much of the country’s job […]
Republicans view Trump as I viewed Tom Carper
Prior to Sarah McBride positioning herself a legitimate statewide candidate with the ability to knock off Tom Carper – I held the position that only the Grim Reaper could remove Carper.
It seems many Republicans feel the same way about Trump. They are stuck with him until he croaks:
In his recent book Thank You for Your Servitude, my colleague Mark Leibovich quoted a former Republican representative who bluntly summarized his party’s plan for dealing with Trump: “We’re just waiting for him to die.” As it turns out, this is not an uncommon sentiment. In my conversations with Republicans, I heard repeatedly that the least disruptive path to getting rid of Trump, grim as it sounds, might be to wait for his expiration.
Man with a long history of mental illness legally buys AR-15 four days before showing up at Target with it
BLAM, BLAM, BLAM!! Read the sad story of how the family got no mental health support, but the cops did helped the sick person get his gun back.
It’s Just Logic
So Republicans throughout America’s Stupid Belt are trying to legislate against family drag shows, supposedly because some of the performers are pedophiles who are grooming children for…uh, homosexuality, I think… by exposing them to men in ridiculously heavy makeup acting like women. Let’s follow the trail of logic here. In order for this to be […]

If you’ve haven’t been following The Delaware Call’s LEOBOR reform series, you should be. Do you know why the police in Delaware have a codified bill of rights keeping the misconduct of its officers secret? A Republican Governor vetoed a LEOBOR bill because the Attorney General opposed the measure, but it was eventually […]
Nobody gives a fuck about the deficit
Except for weirdo GOP members of congress, the debt isn’t an important issue. …And when the Times/Sienna poll asked midterm voters to name the most important problem facing America, only one of the survey’s 1,641 respondents mentioned the debt, the deficit, or federal spending. One fucking person out of 1,641. As Eschaton’s Duncan Black […]
Two Things I Love About DeSantis’ Response to Trump
If you are not as obsessed with Trump v. DeSantis as I am – here is a quick recap:
The Loser Ex-President made campaign stops where he told reporters that DeSantis would be “disloyal” if he ran for the Republican nomination and he knocked DeSantis’ record on Covid-19.
Desantis basically fired back with – Well I won my re-election, and you didn’t, so the people have spoken. And also, suck it.
Here’s what I love. It ignores the BIG LIE and might be the first time I’ve heard a MAGAt say “Trump lost. Get over it.” That’s good for America if civilian Republicans are now allowed to follow suit and acknowledge the simple truth – Trump is a loser who lost.
The second thing I love is how the smug little fucker (DeSantis) smugly just shrugged off trump as a loser and that’s pressing Trump’s biggest button. Trump hates being called a loser and to be called one by the a smug little twerp like DeSantis NO DOUBT landed in Mara Lago like a kick to the balls.
It all adds up to Trump and DeSantis going full on berserker during this campaign, and that is great news for America.

The Republicans are going to nominate Trump or DeSantis. Both would end American Democracy, but I honestly can’t say which would be worse.

The Forthcoming Liberal/Conservative Joint Statement on Decency and Being a Decent American
I have this idea that I’d like to sit down with an actual bone-fide conservative and uncover areas of general agreement. I guess I still want to believe that there are conservatives that put loyalty to the country above loyalty to their fucked up party. I know I’m unicorn hunting but if anyone knows anyone, […]

Eagles are headed back to the big show. I started out this season blogging little post game updates, but the team was so good; so business like and predictable that I got bored with it. Go Birds! Keep being boring. Thinking about the Eagles in those terms reminds me of an America that was similarly […]
