Highlands Bunker – Probably the best one so far

Filed in National by on September 23, 2022 29 Comments

I loved the conversation about how the establishment party is going to try and contend with the progressive wave that is kicking their asses all over the state.


 

Jason330, Jordyn Pusey, and Tye Grier join Rob and Karl in the virtual bunker to talk about the results of the 2022 state primaries. What were the results, what do they mean, and what happens next?

Rich Collins (41st RD) IS a Dangerous MAGA Extremist

Nobody likes this series except me. Anyway, Onward.

Collins replied but couldn’t say whether or not the Jan 6th rioters committed any crimes. Nor could he think of anything witty to say in lieu of giving a simple yes or no. (See his email to me below). I thought of all the dangerous MAGA Extremist in LEG Hall, Collins might have the balls to admit that he is a proud MAGA republican. Turns out – nope.

So if you live in the dreadful 41st RD you are represented by a cowardly dummy who is also a dangerous MAGA extremist. Which is probably no surprise to you.

It would be cool if Obama trolled Trump by saying that he used his magical ex-president telepathy powers to release Trumps income taxes.

Divine Right of Kings

Filed in National by on September 22, 2022 7 Comments

I suspect that Trump doesn’t give a fuck about the American version of the Christian God. His supporters believe in that perverted theology and they further believe that Trump is a divine instrument of the American version of the Christian God. As far as they are concerned, Trump doesn’t have to justify his actions. If […]

Song of the Day 9/21: Blondie, “One Way or Another”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on September 21, 2022 6 Comments

Trump got his special master. Now will the special master get him? Donnie Two Scoops is more slippery than an eel — uglier, too. But one way or another… Debbie Harry’s lyrics were inspired by an ex-boyfriend who turned stalker, causing her to move out of New Jersey. The music is by Nigel Harrison, Blondie’s […]

Mike Ramone – NOT a Dangerous MAGA Extremist

Filed in National by on September 21, 2022 15 Comments

Here are Ramone’s responses:

Yes Joe Biden won the election and is our duly swore President,

Yes those who broke into and vandalized the capital broke the law and should be punished for doing so,

Yes, anyone who would steal top secret items from our Government in any way should be prosecuted and treated appropriately.

There was also a cordial stuff, but I’m keeping this focused on the questions, so I left that out.  I also formatted it.

So… Ramone isn’t a MAGA extremists.  That’s good.

For the record, I don’t…

Delawareans: Medicare is great! 

Dems:  Hey guys…Let’s privatize and fuck up Medicare. 

Delaware’s Retirees Utterly Screwed By John Carney 

The change to state pensioners’ health care plan caught both retirees and lawmakers off guard, which led to Democratic Senate leaders asking Gov. John Carney to push the implementation of the new Medicare Advantage plan.

The Carney administration has denied this request, citing contractual obligations among other reasons. Ultimately, according to a letter to lawmakers obtained by Delaware Online/The News Journal, the plan to replace retiree’s Medicare plan is already in motion and it’s too late to stop it.

The plan will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2023.

Song of the Day 9/20: Freddy Fender, “Across the Borderline”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on September 20, 2022 0 Comments

Operation Immigrant Dump needed Donald Trump to steal the idea from ’60s Southern racists, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to put it into practice, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to fuck it up before it captured the news cycle. My question is, now that they’re turned the “immigrant caravans” of their imagination into real ones, are […]

Remember to try and get your local Republican office holder on the record as a MAGA Extremist, or a regular Republican.


It is official.  Both frontrunners for the GOP’s presidential nomination are under investigation.  One could say that they are trying to weaponize crime.


Puerto Rico should be a state.  At least now the Queen is buried, some enterprising reporters might check out the climate disaster there.

First State Abortion Fund chair Kori Beaman joins Rob in the bunker to talk about the conception and function of the FSAF, how they plan to actually help people seeking abortions in and out of state, and what political changes need to be made to protect that right for everyone.

Breaking News – My GOP Rep, Kevin Hensley, is no MAGA Republican

Filed in National by on September 19, 2022 11 Comments

Frankly I’m relieved and surprised.   When I reached out to Hensley with the “Are you MAGA?” questionnaire below, I thought that Hensley would try to stonewall it.  Instead I got: Hi Jason, Yes to all three. Thanks, Kevin   Nice!  Credit where credit is due.   Please everyone keep the ball rolling and let’s […]
