What if the Convicted State Auditor wins in September and wins in November?

Should Carney wait until after the election in November to remove McGuiness? If he removes her prior to the election can he re-remove her after the election?

Shouldn’t the office of auditor be filled by someone who hasn’t been convicted of the very crimes the auditor’s office is tasked with uncovering and rooting out?

So many questions.

Song of the Day 9/5: Billy Bragg, “There Is Power in a Union”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on September 5, 2022 0 Comments

Mainstream media loves to cite the low percentage of unionized US workers but rarely details the lengths companies go to in their union-busting. That’s improved somewhat in recent months as Amazon and Starbucks have waged vicious campaigns against unionization efforts — and seen workers succeed in both certification votes and court rulings despite it all. […]

DL Open Thread Monday September 5 2022

Labor Day is a watered down American version of May Day. In 1898, Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, called it “the day for which the toilers in past centuries looked forward, when their rights and their wrongs would be discussed…that the workers of our day may not only lay down their […]

In spite of all evidence to the contrary – Coons thinks Republicans can be compromised with and we should seek bipartisan solutions

Filed in National by on September 4, 2022 1 Comment

I didn’t watch Trump’s speech (?) from PA last night.  Well, I did watch a few minutes in which I learned that gasoline if now $6.00 to $7.00 a gallon and it was $1.89 per gallon two years ago.  That drew some applause from the dummies in attendance.   I can imagine there were literally […]

They fucked around, and they are finding out

Keep fucking around and trying to take women’s privacy away, you motherfuckers. We’ll put an abortion clinic in every high school.

Voters have grown more supportive of legalizing abortion following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, with a clear majority opposing restrictions, like bans at a certain point of pregnancy or barring women from traveling to get a legal abortion, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll that underscores the importance of the issue in the midterm elections.

According to the survey, 60% of voters said abortion should be legal in all or most cases, up from 55% in March. Another 29% said it should be illegal, except in cases of rape, incest and when the woman’s life is endangered, compared with 30% in March. And 6% said it should be illegal in all cases, down from 11% in March.

The court’s decision to end federal constitutional protections for the procedure has injected new Democratic energy into a midterm election that Republicans expected to be dominated by economic issues. About a dozen states have banned many or most abortions since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

Violent Extremists Angry at Being Called “Violent Extremists” by Joe Biden Promise Extremism and Violence Directed at His Family

Hard and Loud: President Biden’s speech Thursday night defending democracy really hit a nerve with former Trump strategist (and Trump-pardoned) Steve Bannon, who responded with angry threats to the president and his family. “We are going to bring it big and hard and loud on 8 November,” the MAGA cheerleader said today to Biden in […]

Tucker Carlson says children’s hospitals around the country such as Nemours Children’s Hospital  are “performing horrifying experiments on children”

You’d think that our state Senators would defend our state’s world class Children’s Hospital.

It is shameful that Coons & Carper are not engaged in pushing back against this anti-trans agitprop.  But now that I think about it, maybe Carper has ulterior motives for letting the rightwing run riot.
