Hunter Biden’s Lap Top Made Me Do It

If you are a conservative, it is not illegal to spray paint “TRUMP SUCKS!” on your own car to try and get 850 likes on your FB page. It is not illegal to leave yourself threatening voicemails or mail yourself postcards with “BLACKS RULE! KILL WHITEY! JOE BIDEN ROCKS!” scrawled in blood. I guess it […]

Yikes.#OHSenDebate pic.twitter.com/Mo9N6U2L06 — Tim Ryan (@TimRyan) October 11, 2022 Just a few weeks ago in Youngstown, on the stage, Donald Trump said to JD Vance, “all you do is kiss my ass to get my support.” He said that. That’s bad, because that means JD Vance is going to do whatever he wants. Mitch McConnell’s […]

Happy Indigenous Person Day. If you have today off you can thank one of the 4,100 or so members of Delaware’s Nanticoke tribe. I’ve been in a kind news black out, but reading a lot of Twitter these days, which is a strange news filter. I have to admit tat I still don’t understand how twitter […]

Virtually Every Insurer Has Committed Fraud Through Their Medicare Advantage Plans.  Yes, including Highmark, which has been accused of overbilling by the Inspector General.  But Carney and DeMatteis knew that. They just didn’t/don’t give a shit: Each of the strategies — which were described by the Justice Department in lawsuits against the companies — led […]

Song of the Day 10/7: Cab Calloway, “Have You Ever Met That Funny Reefer Man”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on October 7, 2022 1 Comment

Cab Calloway recorded this in 1932, before cannabis was banned nationwide. Joe Biden didn’t undo that 1937 all by himself yesterday, but pardoning everyone convicted of simple possession is widely seen as a big step towards legalization. You can tell because stocks in marijuana companies went quite a bit higher.

Trolls Gotta Troll

Trolls Gotta Troll

Nobody is ever going to have a perfect progressive record on policy or on endorsements. I’ve been doing this long enough to remember when John Kowalko’s liberal credentials were called into question after one vote. Absurd. Look at the body of work.

Trying to call out McBride or Lynn as not progressive enough is just drive by trolling.

Ruth Briggs King is a Dangerous MAGA Extremist

Filed in National by on October 6, 2022 0 Comments

As if more evidence was needed, the Herschel Walker abortion revelations and subsequent shrug by the GOP testifies to the fact that Republicans are all about power and not interested in policies – not even a little bit.

Similarly, but on a smaller scale, Ruth Briggs King is a dangerous MAGA extremist. She head-faked and made me think that she was going to respond. That’s why this is a long delayed verdict.

And really, why wouldn’t she blow off the questions? In the context of the GOP being all about boosting the turnout of radicals on elections day, the questions don’t even make sense.

“Was Joe Biden legitimately elected?” Who the fuck cares? The only germane question is – Does allowing dummies and losers believe that Trump won boost turnout? If it does, then ok. Joe Biden was installed by China or whatever.

If anyone is interested, my exchange with Ruth Briggs King is below.

2nd Rally Opposing Privatization of State Retirees’ Health Care – Wednesday, October 12th Leg Hall

Filed in National by on October 6, 2022 2 Comments

It is just appalling what Carney has foisted on the state’s unsuspecting retirees.  And for what?  What’s his payoff down the line?  A cushy lobbyist job?   The backroom chicanery that led to this may never be known, but someone follow the money. 

Carney is untouchable as he will be skulking out of town soon, but this should be a campaign issue.  

 

RISE Delaware has scheduled a second public rally to take place on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, starting at noon. The rally will be held on the East steps of Legislative Hall in Dover. In case of rain, the rally will be held in the House Chambers.

The purpose of the rally is to allow state retirees and future retirees to demonstrate their opposition to the privatized Medicare Advantage…
