Comment Rescue: Coons Wants Humanitarian Pauses – And Quiet
H/t to Joe Connor, who reads the New York Post so you don’t have to. Seems our junior senator, Chris Coons, took an Amtrak train recently, where he had a run-in with a “far-left reporter” who got the encounter on video. Aaron Mate, who reports for something called Grayzone, was seated across from Coons. He […]
Chris Coons Reallyreallyreally Wants To Be Secretary Of State
It’s a little unseemly and more than a bit desparate, but I’m all for it: Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said he would “consider it seriously” if he was asked by President Joe Biden to become Secretary of State in a potential second term in office. Coons was asked the question by moderator Ed O’Keefe during […]
Chris Coons Piles on Hunter Biden – Suggests code of ethics for presidential family members that will somehow only ever apply to Democrats
Fucking Coons. So Bi-Partisan!! Always taking the GOP talking points and running with them. Always. Biden campaign co-chair says it ‘may be worth looking at’ disclosures for president’s family members Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., was asked whether the sons and daughters of sitting presidents should have their own code of conduct in an interview on […]
Coons Gravely Concerned About Biden’s “MAGA Republicans” Comments
Coons expressed disappointment and concern over Joe Biden’s use of the term ‘MAGA Republicans’ to disparage Republicans who contend that Donald Trump won the last Presidential election.
“I’m just not a fan of confrontational politics.” Coons stated on CNN’s Reliable Sources “I really think that if we continue to seek bipartisan compromise by assuming the fetal position and allowing our friends and colleagues on the other side of the isle to kick us repeatedly, they will soon become exhausted from kicking.”
Yeah this is satire. Barely. If Coons releases a statement, I trust you, dear reader, to let me know.
Carper and Coons, Craven to the Core
Ever since SCOTUS pulled its gangland-style execution of Roe, Josh Marshall over at Talking Points Memo has been stumping for Democrats to make the issue the centerpiece of the midterm elections. Obviously this makes a great deal of sense, and so just as obviously the people who run the Democratic Party will have to be […]
Chris Coons Is a Battered Woman
No, I don’t mean he’s been dipped in buttermilk and deep-fried. I mean he has a form of PTSD from being continually abused — in his case not by a spouse, but by Republicans, the kind who referred to him as a “bearded Marxist.” See if these symptoms (from the Wikipedia entry on battered spouse […]
Top Lobbyist for ExxonMobil Says Coons Is in Their Pocket
Channel 4 in the UK carried an investigative report from the British branch of Greenpeace based on a sting interview with Keith McCoy, a top lobbyist for ExxonMobil. McCoy spoke frankly to people he thought were headhunters searching for a D.C. lobbyist for a client. He said a lot of things he would never say […]
Why Do Americans Claim to Love Bipartisanship?
Spineless Democrats cling to bipartisanship the way Cletus and Lurleen cling to guns and religion, and for a simple reason: In every poll, overwhelming majorities, regardless of political affiliation, claim to support bipartisanship. Here’s a recent example. Why do so many people support the concept? For another simple reason: The question is loaded. Notice the […]
DL Open Thread Sunday, June 13, 2021
Delawareans should do a slow burn every time the national media call out Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema for siding with Republicans. Everyone knows that another handful of Democratic senators share their not-so-progressive leanings, but most represent either red state or states with strong, functioning Republican parties. Only Delaware has two Democratic senators who both […]
DL Open Thread Sunday, May 30, 2021
Another day, another reason to worry that Chris Coons is going to fuck us up like the no-so-secret Republican he is. David Dayen the American Prospect reports that Coons is trying to force his pick to run the U.S. Patent Office on the White House. Why can’t we have nice things? Delaware is a bigger […]
Song of the Day 5/28: Joni Mitchell, “Both Sides, Now”
I’m going to guess this is Chris Coons’ favorite song. He’s looked at the issues from both sides now, and still somehow he really doesn’t know Republicans at all. Before Judy Collins recorded it in 1967 — actually, before it was released as a single in 1968 and reached No. 8 — Joni Mitchell was […]
Bipartisanship Is a Mug’s Game
The seeds of our current obstructionist Republican Party were sown during the Clinton administration, when Bill Clinton signed a Republican “welfare reform” bill and, in the Republican view, stole all the credit for it. The lesson Republicans learned motivates them to this day: If a good thing happens with Democrats in charge, Democrats win, no […]
DL Open Thread Friday, May 14, 2021
Sorry for the delay, we had some issues with WordPress. Joe Biden’s statement of support for Israel did not sit well with some progressives in Congress, so the media is celebrating their chance to dust off the “Democrats in disarray” headlines. Here’s a challenge for you: Find me an American who cares more about this […]
