False advertising–of a sort. Consider this a redistricting hot-stove league thread. Timely because the General Assembly will hold a Redistricting For Dummies session tonight. Since I fit that profile, I plan to attend the virtual meeting. You can, too. Right here. With that out of the way, let’s look at what might ultimately happen during […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday September 28th 2021 – Patriots Proof Goes Poof!
Notice the difference? When first announced they breathlessly claimed “We have proof!” Now, it is just “initial findings”. I guess stringing along nit wits isn’t just for pillow purveyors anymore. Or maybe Julianne Murray figured out that going full-blow J6 insurrectionist isn’t a great look for an AG candidate? Sept. 17 Yesterday: h/t […]
Coons “Infuriated” With Biden
Nota bene – this is Biden’s bill. Lowlife motherfuckers like Coons and his fellow moderates are trying to fuck up Joe Biden’s bill.
Coons expected Biden to start twisting House progressives’ arms during their White House meeting last week. But we’re told by sources in the progressive camp and another senior Democratic aide that the president has neither asked progressives to drop their demand that the reconciliation bill pass in tandem with BIF, nor pressed them to accept a stand-alone vote on BIF this week — at least not yet. This has infuriated Coons.
Via Eschaton & Politico which uses “moderates” in place of Coons but since Coons paragon of moderates, I went ahead and fixed it.
Republicans are working hard today to steal the next election
It is not controversial to say that Republicans are laying the groundwork for stealing the 2024 election. It isn’t “hand wringing” – it is a simple statement of fact. It is happening in the open. The jokey “election audit” in Arizona was part of it. The dumbassery scheduled for Milford tomorrow is part of it.
Throw enough sand into the gears of democracy, allow angry imbeciles to stew in some ginned up outrage for long enough, and they are more than half-way there.
Read This, Then Sign The Petition!
It’s finally dawned on people just how corrupt the supposed development at Ft. DuPont actually is. As you know, I’ve written about it since its inception. This article provides all the backstory you’ll need. Read it. (I need the page hits.) Delaware’s two least ethical legislators, joined by a legislator who got out of Dover […]
Coons’ “LOOK AT ME!” Bipartisanship is Directly Damaging Joe Biden
By promoting a false media narrative about “moderates” vs “progressives” Coons is directly fucking over Biden. Josh Marshall lays it all out. For months we’ve had this intra-party debate presented as one between “progressives” and “moderates.” Often that gets personalized as AOC and Bernie versus Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema. This is demonstrably false.

Coons’ Super Secret Bipartisan Caucus coming out of hiding any minute now.
However, in reaching across the aisle and creating the bipartisan committee, Coons said it has been “thrilling” to see how important climate change has become to Congress members.
Thrilling!
Coons really is a fucking piece of shit. Providing cover to the GOP by flogging this bipartisan nonsense morning noon and night. While McConnell continues to state in plain English that Republicans will never provide a single vote for anything significant.

You can’t build a shit nation like the USA unless you have a lot of pieces of shit to assemble into the final product. One giant piece of shit is, of course, the Previous Guy, but he had help from many, many shit humans all along the way. One of those shit humans, Mark Zuckerberg, […]
Andrew C, You Say You Want A Poll, I’ll GIVE You A Poll!
Because I’d love to hear what everybody’s answer to this would be: If you could only volunteer to challenge one House incumbent D this year, which of the following would it be, and why?: Stephanie Bolden Larry Mitchell Pete Schwartzkopf Valerie Longhurst Franklin Cooke Lumpy Carson Andria Bennett Bill Bush No doubt there are others […]
Song of the Day 9/25: Devo, “Satisfaction”
When Devo hit the mainstream in the late ’70s, they espoused a philosophy that seemed as odd and silly as their electronica-inspired music: devolution, the idea that humans had stopped evolving and were now regressing, or “devolving.” Taking a look at this country’s recent history — or even just Marjorie Taylor Greene — I don’t […]

Rethug Gerrymanders All The Rage These Days. Not to mention, conservative courts ready to step in when the legislators won’t. Also, more proof that these so-called ‘non-partisan’ commissions are nothing more than fig leafs. Karen Bass To Run For Mayor Of Los Angeles. A great development. Progressive member of Congress, beloved by the Black community […]
Song of the Day 9/24: The Electric Prunes, “I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)”
Judging by the hangover I definitely had too much of something yesterday, but I think it was Propofol. The Electric Prunes released this classic slice of psychedelia in late 1966. It was a moderate hit, reaching No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1967, but its place in rock history was cemented when […]

Cyber Ninja Arizona Audit Shows Biden Got More Votes, Trump Less Votes Than Previously Recorded. Biden with 99 more votes, Trump with 261 fewer votes. Which is not stopping Trump and Texas Rethug Governor Greg Abbott from, well: Eight and a half hours after former President Donald J. Trump made a public demand for Gov. […]
