National Park Service Biting The Bullet For Trump’s Show Of Military Might. Compensation, much? IG Report: Conditions At Border Detention Centers Even Worse Than Imagined. Fake news no more. BTW, the IG who wrote this report was the same IG who wrote the report criticizing SOS Hillary Clinton for violating Public Documents Act. AOC telling […]
Joe Biden Caused More Harm To Minorities Than Any Other D In Recent Memory
Busing was only a small part of it. Although that’s important. A lot of blacks didn’t like busing either, and a lot of whites hated it. Which can in no way forgive Biden’s defense of ‘state’s rights’ and ‘voluntary busing’. As if states that sent his segregationist friends to DC were going to do anything […]
DL Open Thread: Tues., July 2, 2019
Border Patrol Agents Are Racist And Sexist Assholes. Don’t take my word for it, take their word for it. They should all be fired. Right now. They won’t be. Brilliant work by Pro Publica. Trump Administration Slow-Walking Printing Of Census Forms. Because, of course they are. Will Pa. Gov. Sign Bill Banning ‘Straight Party’ Voting? […]

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Sun., June 30, 2019
Based on what’s come before, it’s entirely fitting that this first session of the General Assembly draws to a close with the passage of two money bills with contents hidden far from the prying eyes of the public. On Thursday, the Senate passed the Bond Bill with no notice whatsoever. The bill was not made […]

DL Open Thread: Sat., June 29, 2019
Judge Halts Work On Border Wall. I guess it all comes down to whether the courts have been packed with enough Trump judges to ignore the law. Biden Supported Constitutional Amendment To Ban Busing. It’s On Tape. Like I said, the Federal version of Tom Sharp. Trump’s Birthers Going After Harris On Social Media. The […]

Trump In Japan: Jokes with Putin: “Don’t meddle in the election.” The Story Behind Trump’s Attempts To Screw The Census. I agree with this: Deciding the case on a narrow reading of the Administrative Procedures Act, none of the justices commented substantively, even in dicta, on the bold-faced subtext of the census dispute: that Trump […]
Democratic Presidential Debate: Night Two Post-Mortem
My quick take: The Big Winner: Kamala Harris. She would make Trump look even worse than she made Biden look. Winner: Pete Buttigieg. Unlike Beto. he looked like he belonged. Could you imagine an Indiana face-off with Mike Pence? Definitely could be the Veep with Warren or Harris. Big Loser: Bernie. I’m sorry, I love […]

It’s June 27. Do you know where your Bond Bill is? It has not yet been unveiled. There was speculation that it might be run today. If so, it will be run with no time for the public to look at it. For all the self-congratulations surrounding the signing of the Budget Bill, the two […]

Welcome to a debate-post-mortem-free edition of Open Thread. While you’re more than welcome to comment on the debate, I had had enough after hearing Chris Matthews’ bloviations last night.
