Trump ‘Demands’ That Lindsey Graham Have Obama Testify About ‘Obamagate’. Graham says ‘Nyet’. Be careful what you wish for, indeed. I mean, could you imagine? BTW, a Trump war of words with Graham can only help the D who is running against Graham. This guy. He’s raised a lot of money, even outraised Graham in […]
BREAKING: General Assembly To Reconvene ‘Virtually’ In Late May
Now get this straight: ‘Virtually’ and ‘virtuously’ are not synonyms. The House is scheduled to reconvene on Tuesday, May 26 and the Senate will reconvene on Wednesday, May 27. That’s about all we know so far. Time to dust off my ‘Pre-Game/Post-Game’ chops?

Have Rethugs Already Started Civil War? Wisconsin. Michigan. Colorado. Texas. Especially Texas. Pretty much in every state. Egged On By The Rabble Rouser-In-Chief. The conclusion is inescapable: The President is advocating for civil insurrection. This should be a lead story every single day. Not to mention his burial of the CDC guidelines. Trump Vs. Fauci. […]

Is This The Precursor To ‘Obamagate’? Probably. If indeed there IS an Obamagate. Painting Michael Flynn as the victim of some dark Obamaesque conspiracy will have no impact outside of what passes for the President’s base. A Powerful Endorsement For Lindsey Graham’s Challenger. From an establishment figure who supported Graham until Graham abandoned McCain. Keep […]
The Delaware Liberal Occasional Political Weekly
The local political scene has been slowed immeasurably, but I’ve now got more than enough for an update. 1. Sarah McBride Gets Primary Challenger And General Election Opponent. We already knew that former IPOD member Steven Washington was going to be her R challenger. He has now filed. What we didn’t know was that Joe […]

Trump Has Rolled Back Nearly 98 Environmental Rules. If Biden manages to get elected from his basement, I would hope that one of the first things he does before he takes office is to have a team review every single executive order and administrative action taken by Trump, and present him with an action plan […]
OK, General Assembly. It’s Time.
I think most Delawareans have remained largely unconcerned about the ongoing closure of the General Assembly. Safety first. However, the challenges facing the state that will need to be addressed by the General Assembly now face the normal June 30 deadline. Sure, it’s possible that the General Assembly can meet post-July 1, especially since it’s […]

Carney Partially Reopens Some Delaware Businesses. In general, it’s a cautious approach and, I think, a prudent one. Although I do question why we’re removing any restrictions in Sussex County as it remains a COVID-19 hot spot. US Corporations Dump Employees While Rewarding Stockholders With Dividends. Including WWE and its avaricious boss, Vince McMahon. Kushner’s […]

Ted DiBiase: Million Dollar Man/Wrestler/Minister/Scam Artist. Religion and rasslin’ are two of the greatest scams goin’ today. Both have seen better days, especially religion. Notable former wrestlers like Tully Blanchard and Nikita Koloff have become ministers. But nobody has made a bigger deal of his conversion to the cause than the Million Dollar Man, Ted […]

Trump Fires Author Of Report Critical Of The Federal Pandemic Response. You won’t inspect/If you don’t genuflect. Oklahoma Yahoos Defy Order To Wear Masks. The mayor had to back down to protect workers who were being threatened. We’re getting closer to armed insurrection every day, and the President is pushing for it. Rethug PPE Firm […]

‘Investigate Tara Reade’s Allegations’: I agree. Just do it. And quickly. Biden could have made it a lot easier by being responsive and supportive of a check into his document trove at UD for references to Reade, but he either played the clueless geezer card or was a clueless geezer. If he was playing the […]

RWNJ’s Take Over Michigan State Capitol. They even protest at the end of Whitmer’s driveway. This is what Trump hath wrought, and this is precisely what Delaware’s Rethug state reps are feeding into. All are utterly useless. States Made It Harder To Get Benefits. Now Workers Are Totally Screwed. A must-read. These charts are easy […]
Rethug Reps Call On Carney To ‘Restart Our Economy Now’
All 15 of ’em. I counted. They sent a letter to the Governor (presumably they didn’t collaborate on the letter in person) claiming that somehow the shutdown is causing more health problems. Because, well let me quote from the letter: “The heightened anxiety created by the loss of jobs and incomes will inevitably lead to […]
