Liberal lawmakers urge Biden to shift Ukraine strategy
A liberal lawmakers once said “defund the police” so I guess this Ukraine shift is Democratic Party orthodoxy now.

Mike Pence is a History Doofus
Mike Pence wants America to be a Christian country. He doesn’t appear to know that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States both products of the Enlightenment. He also doesn’t seem to know that the framers of the Republic really didn’t want a state religion. I don’t know if Pence has […]
Hunter Biden’s lap top “Lappy!” ™ is going to be a major figure in Biden’s Q-peachment
Gosh darn it, Lappy! What in blazes did you do this time?!?
The Atlantic – Via Boing Boing
It seems likely that the MAGA party will take control of the house, thanks to a combination of voter intimidation and blaming Biden for global inflation. After they kill the J6 investigation, they’ll tackle two other jobs: impeaching Biden and installing a MAGA president. This article in The Atlantic lays out the roadmap for impeachment, which includes linking Hunter Biden to his father.
Burns v. Ramone
Incumbents are tough to beat but Burns has a shot in the 21st. This is probably the most competitive race in the state.
We are now 12 days out, so if you can’t help canvas or phone bank, you should all probably donate ($50, $100, $200) to Burns at this point.
DL Open Thread Wednesday October 26 2022
I’m a poor excuse for political blogger. I didn’t watch the Fetterman/Ox debate. I wonder if the last remaining “undecided” voter on PA finally decided? Trump and Obama both won with a populist massage attacking corrupt DC insiders. It is strange to me that Democrats cede the populist terrain to the GOP. I hope Fetterman […]
Me and Coons in the Bagel Shop
Yesterday, I had a bit of a conversation with Senator Coons about how working with Republicans, seeking “common ground” with the people out to end democracy, is not what the times call for. This is what I said about the encounter in a previous comment. I’ll expand my remarks below. He is unmovable and utterly […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday October 25 2022
A full readout of my Monday morning impromptu meeting this Sen Coons in a bagel shop may be coming this afternoon. In the meantime, here is some shit that happened.
Justice Thomas temporarily blocks Sen. Graham’s subpoena in 2020 election probe
I’d call us a full on Banana Republic, but that is an insult to Bananas and Republics.

Workers making money is bad for the economy. Duh!

Poll: Democrats on track to win Delaware elections
Would you like to know how far outside of the mainstream you are? Just check out these poll results which are shockingly positive, and piñata full of good news for our Democratic statewide incumbents.
Boris Johnson pulls out of UK Conservative leadership race
Someone should tell Britain that “pulling out” is the least effective way to protect the country from a Johnson.

Philadelphia is better than Saint Louis, Atlanta, and San Diego. Better than Houston? I guess we’ll see.
The New York Times is Really Out to Get Biden for Some Reason
My own father continues to think that the New York Times is a “liberal” newspaper. It is maddening. The New York Times continued in its trashing of the economy under President Biden, implying that the 40-year cost of his student loan forgiveness plan will be incurred over a single year. An article reporting on the […]
Guilt by Association Political Ads
Living in New Castle County, I get a lot of PA political ads on TV. I also just saw my first Lisa Blunt Rochester TV ad. She would like you to know that she will “work with ANYONE” which I hope is hyperbole. I mean, when she wins I hope she steers away from working […]
If White People Are So Smart…
…then why do they make up almost the entire audience for obvious grifters like Donald Trump? Sorry, Whities, but based on the available evidence you’re the dumbest motherfuckers alive. And the funny part is that white conservatives want to claim superior status not based on their own accomplishments, but the accomplishments of other pale-skinned people. […]

It gives Pete another chance to kick yet another important issue down the road during next week’s Special Session.
Delaware’s Jails are for Black & Poor People
The only “crimes” that really register as crimes among lawyers, juries and judges are street crimes. It is little wonder that black people constitute 23% of state residents, but 56% of the incarcerated population. This picture was always comical. Nobody ever thought Park City was going to see the inside of a jail cell.
DL Open Thread Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2022
It’s sentencing day for unrepentant state auditor Kathy McGuiness. Prosecutors want her to serve 30 days and pay a $30,000 fine. Her attorney wants her slap on the wrist to be a $1,000 fine and nothing else, not even probation. Judge William C. Carpenter’s decision will either uphold or strike at Celia Cohen’s beloved Delaware […]
