Meet The New Health Care Bill. As Bad As The Other Health Care Bills. How bad? This bad. They’re Rethugs. What did you expect? Kollege Kid Karma: Trump Dickwad Tried To Get Classmate Deported. Got his white supremacist ass thrown out of school instead. Has a career path as a Rethug demagogue ahead of him. […]

White House Clusterbleep Over Documents. How many documents are too many/not enough? NYTimes overhears lawyer blabbing at a DC steakhouse. If you’re taking bets, remember that the original Ty Cobb was the dirtiest player in the game. BTW, what’s up with this?: The uncertainty has grown to the point that White House officials privately express […]

Officials: Amazon Is Delaware’s Powerball Lottery Ticket. With, IMHO, just about as much chance of cashing in. BTW, it’s ‘too early to talk incentives’: The company’s guidance to potential suitors specifically calls on cities and states to detail the types and amounts of incentives they can fork over — even if that means passing new […]

‘Idiot’ Sessions Didn’t Resign. Guess both Trump and Sessions consider Sessions to be a useful idiot. Is It Worth Rebuilding Flooded Communities? Residents in Houston, the Florida Keys, and elsewhere considering best course going forward. Bernie Sanders On Single Payer. Someone not living in the past. Benzene Levels Skyrocket After Harvey. Stop the presses! Valero […]

Bob Marshall Draws First Challenger. Jordan Hines. Pretty impressive resume, although membership in the Monday Club is hardly a qualification. Questions: What does he stand for? Where is he on minimum wage, death penalty (where Marshall, to put it charitably, has been wobbly), willingness to raise taxes to pay for vital programs, etc.? What is […]
Hillary Clinton’s Attacks On Bernie Sanders Are Um, Untrue
Let’s first figure out what she’s complaining about. As near as I can tell, and I’ve read a lot about her book, she claims that Trump would never have called her Crooked Hillary had Bernie not hammered her for accepting obscene fees to speak before her corporate overlords. She makes that claim w/o any supporting […]

Sanders Will Introduce Universal Health Care Bill. 15 D’s On Board. Sanders leads, Hillary whines about him. BTW, I checked. Neither Carper nor Coons are among the 15. Vouchers, anybody? How about phone calls instead? I’ll start. Which reminds me. Carper’s refusal to even consider single payer can be, what are the words I’m looking […]

Report: Trump Lawyers Wanted Kushner Out. Every time he talks to King Cheeto or anyone in the WH, he increases the potential legal liability for those he talked to. Rethugs Want To Criminalize Exposure Of Criminal Activity By Private Companies. Would it shock you if you learned that one of the companies is owned by […]

Hmmm, 9-11. 911. Coincidence or…conspiracy? Did DeLuca Try To Pull Another Fast One? I support prevailing wage and recognize the Rethugs’ obsession against it as typical R disdain for allowing anyone but billionaires to make a decent living. However, proposed regulations don’t get posted by accident, especially when Tiny Tony’s pudgy fingerprints are all over […]

Wilmington Shootings Exacerbated By Lack Of Political Will. Same assholes who throw millions at corporations don’t fund proven ways of preventing violence: But no local or state dollars have been allocated to implement the key component of the CDC roadmap: Use data such as truancy records, emergency room visits and domestic abuse allegations to identify at-risk […]

Mueller Tightens The Screws. Seeks to interview current and former WH aides, including at least two Trump tortured (Priebus, Spicer). Asked to choose between loyalty and prison, the choice will be easy. BTW, here’s why Mueller wants Hope Hicks to testify. Chief Of Staff Kelly: My Way Or The Highway. I found this fascinating. Inside […]

Rethugs Upset, Dems Wary, About Trump’s Deal With Pelosi And Schumer. I repeat: He can’t be trusted. Get close to this guy, and you’ll end up getting dirtied. Why Florida Is So Vulnerable To Irma. The bad news? Rampant development and climate change. The good news (which is only good in degree)? Florida learned lessons […]
