DL Open Thread: Wednesday, April 7, 2021
In today’s open thread we learn that Matt Gaetz sought a “blanket pardon” from outgoing President Pussy Grabber. You know, a blanket pardon …like the kind all innocent people try to line up. Also: more Chauvin is guilty as fuck, team Biden continues to impress as Yellen makes case for a global minimum tax on multinational corporations, and other stuff.
Song of the Day 4/6: They Might Be Giants, “Minimum Wage”
In keeping with today’s theme. Though they more recently gained attention for kids’ records like “Here Come the ABCs,” 30 years ago They Might Be Giants — basically the duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell — were at the peak of their popularity as a post-new wave alternative band. Their 1990 LP “Flood,” overflowing […]
Memo To These Legislators: Support The $15 Minimum Wage
If there ever has been an issue that should unite all Democratic legislators, it is the $15 minimum wage. SB 15 passed the Senate, and all Democratic senators voted for it. The Senate amendment that was added to the bill made clear that Delaware’s minimum wage would remain at the criminally-paltry $9.25/hour until January of […]
Coons & Carper Join w/ Manchin to Torpedo Biden’s Infrastructure Bill?
Manchin says that he has 6 fellow Democrats on board to kill Biden’s infrastructure bill as it is currently written.
I’d be very surprised to learn that the Delaware Senate delegation isn’t on board.
DL Open Thread: Tuesday, April 6, 2021- The ‘FUCK FLORIDA’ EDITION
Florida is the floor of the American septic tank. Most of America’s shit a great many of its shitty people (wealthy and impoverished) sink effortlessly into Florida. So in today’s Open Thread, join me in a hearty “Fuck You” to Florida.
Song of the Day 4/5: Temple of the Dog, “Hunger Strike”
Alexei Navalny, the anti-corruption Putin opponent who has been jailed for being an anti-corruption Putin opponent, is in the sixth day of a hunger strike he undertook to protest his treatment in prison. He’s already sick with a fever and cough, and given the Putin government’s general treatment of its opponents, I’d say the prognosis […]
DL Open Thread: Monday, April 5, 2021
Spring at last, Spring at last, thank God Almighty…its Spring at last. In today’s OpenThread:
Chauvin is guilty as fuck, but will it matter? Florida is a literal shit hole. Madison Cawthorn is just one of many Republicans voting no on stimulus, but pretending to be stimulus hero in their districts. Unopened Super Mario Bros. game from 1986 sells for $660,000. Are we entering a ‘fourth wave’ of the pandemic? But first, lost of news about America’s least favorite near monopoly.
DL Open Thread Sunday, April 4, 2021
It’s one thing to share a country with dead-end losers who have turned a political party into a death cult. It’s something else entirely when that death cult insists on killing others. Their new obsession — resisting the idea of “vaccine passports,” because their freedom to infect others is more important than the right of […]
Tucker Carlson uncovers the anti-White Power, pro-science truths behind Biden’s nefarious infrastructure plan
Economists and Americans love it, but Carlson urges Fox viewers to not be deceived. Biden’s infrastructure plan is actually pro-science, anti-white supremacy wolf in sheep’s clothing.
“First and most obviously, is this really about infrastructure — bridges, roads, airports, things we can actually use — or is it yet another weird climate scheme-slash-power grab-slash-race-based redistribution plan,” the Fox host asked. “What exactly is this?”
Dear Republicans: This Is Why We Don’t Respect You
I stumbled across a headline today that quoted some random conservative complaining that “maybe if we canceled sports, then they’d respect us.” I hear this all the time: The reason Republicans pursue the culture wars with such fervor is that liberals treat them with disrespect. And we do. And this formulation pretends that the supposed […]
Song of the Day 4/3: Little Richard, “I Saw Her Standing There”
The only difficulty in picking a theme song for Matt Gaetz is that rock ‘n’ roll, especially the early stuff, is full of songs that traffic in misogyny and ephebophilia, often at the same time. But when a song starts out, “She was just 17,” you know you’re in Matt Gaetz territory. Yes, it’s a […]
DL Open Thread: Saturday, April 3, 2021
Alabama Refuses To Lift Yoga Ban. The Reason? Hindu Indoctrination. Having taken acid gives me even more appreciation for a story like this. Hindu indoctrination is a real thing. You start with a few ommmm chants, and you end up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQrQjNNZCAo Next thing you know, the entire Alabama congressional delegation is Black. MLB Moves […]
Song of the Day 4/2: Simon and Garfunkel, “Keep the Customer Satisfied”
Paul Simon has joined the parade of aging songwriters peddling their catalogs for big bucks, selling off his entire output — over 400 songs from both Simon and Garfunkel and his solo career — to Sony for an undisclosed sum that certainly reached nine figures. This song from “Bridge Over Troubled Water” is an upbeat […]
