Trump Doesn’t Visit Troops Because He’s Afraid: Trump has spoken privately about his fears over risks to his own life, according to a former senior White House official, who has discussed the issue with the president and spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly about Trump’s concerns. “He’s never been interested in going,” […]
BREAKING: Ivanka Pulls A ‘Hillary’!
I can’t make this up. Guess who just got busted for using a private e-mail server for government business. Yep, Ivanka Trump: From the Washington Post story: Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails last year to White House aides, Cabinet officials and her assistants using a personal account, many of them in violation of federal […]
Open Thread For Nov. 19, 2018: No More Mr. Nice Guy
Memo to Democrats: Nice Won’t Cut It. This is so obvious that EVEN Delaware’s neutered delegation should recognize it. You don’t have to be a dick about it. Just stand for something other than ‘reaching across the aisle’. Trump Trashes The Guy Who Got Bin Laden. Calls him a ‘Hillary supporter’. Trump gets less well […]
Open Thread For Nov. 18, 2018: “Good People On Both Sides”
Like the Pasco Pipebombers. You just know that Trump would sidestep every possibility to bury these bastards. Hey, at least it’ll be that much longer before these miscreants get their Florida voting rights back. Just check out that munitions stash. Why doesn’t California rake their forest floor? You know, like Finland. State Department Official Resigns […]
Who Are Your Delaware Progressive MVP’s For 2018?
Pretty sure I didn’t do a list last year as there were so few possibilities. And/or b/c I was deep into a Trump funk. This year is different. So many choices. So, here are the rules: Nominate someone for the list. The standard is: Who most helped the progressive cause in Delaware in 2018? While […]
Open Thread For Nov. 17, 2018: American Myopia
From France, Mssr. Al sends us this gimlet-eyed view of American self-delusion. It’s brilliant. An excerpt: There’s a verbal tic particular to a certain kind of response to a certain kind of story about the thinness and desperation of American society; about the person who died of preventable illness or the Kickstarter campaign to help […]
Open Thread For Nov. 16, 2018: WikiLeaks Leak
You’re not supposed to know this (it was not meant to be made public) but…Julian Assange has been indicted by the DOJ. It raises issues about freedom of the press that are far from simple to resolve. Trouble in paradise? Trump dissing Hannity for being lazy. The right-wing Larry King. Senate Rethugs To Trump: Name […]
Open Thread For Nov. 15, 2018: About Face(book)!
The ‘failing’ NY Times commits some great journalism, and exposes many of the sins of Facebook in this epic article. You simply must read the whole thing.

Open Thread For Nov. 14, 2018: Delaware Day
New Castle County Council Gets Better. A lot better. Add Dee Durham and Dave Carter. Subtract Bob Weiner and Bill Powers. BTW, if you go to Weiner’s Facebook, he was wein-ing about his signs being defaced. Two signs. Which left him with only about 10,000 other signs in the district. Asshole. This whole Vaughn Corrections […]

Open Thread For Nov. 12, 2018: How Dry Trump Is
Donald Trump did something that our soldiers didn’t do during World War I. Refused to go out in the rain. To honor their memory and the memory of all who who were part of the war that ended 100 years ago. The President Of The United States wouldn’t go out in the rain. President Obama? […]
Daily Thread For Nov. 9, 2018: Keystone Pipeline Springs Legal Leak
Something tells me this will get people talking. Federal judge halts construction of Keystone pipeline. Why?: A federal judge late Thursday blocked construction of the disputed Keystone XL oil pipeline, saying the Trump administration “simply discarded” the effect the project would have on climate change. Even by Trumpian standards, this Whitaker guy is a, what’s […]
