The Most Coonsian Washington Post Editorial Ever!
We are so fucked if Senator Chris Coons, The Washington Post and the NYT Editorial board are allowed to continue to pull this goddam bullshit.
They fucked around, and they are finding out
Keep fucking around and trying to take women’s privacy away, you motherfuckers. We’ll put an abortion clinic in every high school.
Voters have grown more supportive of legalizing abortion following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, with a clear majority opposing restrictions, like bans at a certain point of pregnancy or barring women from traveling to get a legal abortion, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll that underscores the importance of the issue in the midterm elections.
According to the survey, 60% of voters said abortion should be legal in all or most cases, up from 55% in March. Another 29% said it should be illegal, except in cases of rape, incest and when the woman’s life is endangered, compared with 30% in March. And 6% said it should be illegal in all cases, down from 11% in March.
The court’s decision to end federal constitutional protections for the procedure has injected new Democratic energy into a midterm election that Republicans expected to be dominated by economic issues. About a dozen states have banned many or most abortions since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Song of the Day 9/3: Squeeze, “Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)”
As in most songwriting partnerships with a strict division of labor, Squeeze songs always begin with Chris Difford’s lyrics. “I always write to Chris’s lyrics,” Glenn Tilbrook told Songfacts. “And what’s more, I made a habit pretty early on of never reading lyrics he gave to me until I sat down with the guitar or […]
DL Open Thread: Saturday, September 3, 2022
Happy Arden Fair Day! Sen. McConnell Is–Mitcher Lonely: Not even Peter Thiel will return his calls: Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell’s grand vision for a Republican sweep in the midterm elections is not going according to plan. On Wednesday, The Washington Post reported that billionaire Peter Thiel, who funded the insurgent primary campaigns of J.D. […]
38 Dump Truck Loads of Soil and a Heap of Shit
In the Sussex County Council District 5 primary, I don’t know which MAGA Republican is the least worse.
Violent Extremists Angry at Being Called “Violent Extremists” by Joe Biden Promise Extremism and Violence Directed at His Family
Hard and Loud: President Biden’s speech Thursday night defending democracy really hit a nerve with former Trump strategist (and Trump-pardoned) Steve Bannon, who responded with angry threats to the president and his family. “We are going to bring it big and hard and loud on 8 November,” the MAGA cheerleader said today to Biden in […]
Tucker Carlson says children’s hospitals around the country such as Nemours Children’s Hospital are “performing horrifying experiments on children”
You’d think that our state Senators would defend our state’s world class Children’s Hospital.
It is shameful that Coons & Carper are not engaged in pushing back against this anti-trans agitprop. But now that I think about it, maybe Carper has ulterior motives for letting the rightwing run riot.

Song of the Day 9/2: Gene Pitney, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona If somebody had told me Gene Pitney was not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I’d have believed it but I wouldn’t have been happy about it. Maybe I’d start one of those fierce little fan groups that lobby for an overlooked favorite to finally get his due. […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, September 2, 2022
Trump And MAGAts Threaten Democracy, Biden Says. Yes, they do. Or, at least, what passes for democracy: “We are still at our core a democracy — yet history tells us that blind loyalty to a single leader, and the willingness to engage in political violence, is fatal to democracy,” Biden said. “There is no question […]
A Senate Concurrent Resolution – Are You MAGA?
DL strongly supports this draft resolution to put DEGOPers on record. Are you MAGA?
Senate Concurrent Resolution 105
151st General Assembly (Present)
PROUDLY STANDING WITH THE PEOPLE OF ALL POLITICAL PARTIES THAT REJECT POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION
Original Synopsis: This Resolution expresses the General Assembly’s strong support for President Biden’s call for Americans to reject violent, anti-American MAGA Republicanism in all of its forms.
“Sarah McBride to Primary Tom Carper” – Epilogue
I was thinking about something as I wrote the other installments. “I wonder what the asswipes in the DEGOP are going to make of this primary?”
Are they rubbing their hands together in anticipation at the idea of being able to run against a trans person? Are they slobbering at the idea of being the assholes they are by deadnaming and mis-gendering McBride in every statement? Are they somehow thinking that normal Delawareans will join them in thinking that if McBride wins transgender teams of softball players will try to gain an advantage in the state championship?
And, on a related note, will the sober moderate Dems be drawn into their usual vortex of “worries” that the “middle” will reject a trans person based on the DEGOP’s utter nonsense?
Well… let me take those rhetorical questions in order.
Carper is one of the most spry shambling corpses in the Senate
It is funny (not “ha ha” funny) to think that some of his colleagues make Carper look relatively young and with it. Those Bits Were On The Record I’m thinking specifically of how instead of simply reporting on their regularly skewed interactions with Dianne Feinstein, it was necessary for reporters to do deeply sourced pieces, […]
