DL Open Thread Tuesday Feb 16th, 2021
I can’t wait for Coons to make a big, showy public break with Biden [over something beloved bit of DC insider nonsense] in order to prove to DC that he truly is the bipartisan hero. It is inevitable.

Song of the Day 2/15: Space Cadet, “Bad Luck”
With apologies to El Som, I actually hear other new music once in a while, though not nearly so much as he does because I’m so technologically inept. I’m so old-school I actually heard this song thanks to my email — I always had my work inbox routed to my personal one so I could […]

The Stockholm Syndrome Party:
During a press conference with House managers after Trump’s second impeachment trial, Nancy Pelosi said: “I think our country needs a strong Republican party. It’s very important.”
When was the last time you heard a Republicans say that the country needs a strong Democratic Party? Bottom Line: The Democratic Party leadership is comprised of very wealthy people who do not trust the instincts of Americans who are not rich. Yes – I’m looking at you, Coons.
I have zero faith in Dover passing any kind of legalization that doesn’t: A) Suck, and B) Further enrich some cabal of insiders.
Bill to legalize marijuana in Delaware to be filed soon – Delaware State News
Gov. John Carney has consistently opposed legalization, with a spokesman last week declining to speculate what the governor would do if the bill reaches his desk.
These “Republicans fractured” stories are nice, but a little far fetched. They’ll do whatever the fuck Trump tells them to do. Change my mind. Also, is it news to anyone that Republicans are a bunch of racist assholes? Certainly that is not news to republicans.
Trump’s acquittal further polarizes factions within the GOP
Song of the Day 2/14: 10cc, “I’m Not in Love”
Something special for Valentine’s Day: A song Eric Stewart wrote because his wife complained that he rarely told her he loved her.”I had this crazy idea in my mind that repeating those words would somehow degrade the meaning,” Stewart said, “so I told her, ‘Well, if I say every day “I love you, darling, I […]

Quote of the Day: You can lead a Republican to objective reality, but you can’t make him pull his head out of Donald Trump’s ass. Trump was acquitted by the Senate, demonstrating yet again that the Republican Party is a collection of greed-damaged shit-maggots. That they would do so in the face of Trump’s attempts […]

The minimum wage is a joke but the tipped min wage is the sickest of sick jokes.
Fucking Coons, Unreal
Senate Decided Not to Call Trump Impeachment Witnesses Because ‘People Want to Get Home for Valentine’s Day’: Report Senate Democrats had, despite their collective vote to hear witnesses, not actually wanted to do anything of the sort and quickly rushed to undo the motion at the request of President Joe Biden‘s leading man in the […]
Trump Acquitted.
57-43. 7 R’s voted to convict: Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Pat Toomey, Richard Burr, and Bill Cassidy. That’s a lot. 43 Rethugs sealed their names in history.
Contentious Dems Vs Contented Dems
I understand that some people don’t like confrontation. But to be so devoted to non-confrontation that you prefer humiliation at the hands of scoundrels is beyond me.
Song of the Day 2/13: Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, “You Can Close Your Eyes”
The Senate Republican caucus could adopt this as a theme song, but their voices wouldn’t — ahem — do it justice. James Taylor’s wrote this bittersweet lullaby for his then-girlfriend Joni Mitchell. He was in New Mexico in 1970 filming a movie, Two-Lane Blacktop, about drag racers taking on challengers across the country (Taylor played […]
I Agree With Greg Lavelle–
Or, to be more precise, Greg Lavelle agrees with me. The issue is when should parties hold their primaries for statewide, legislative, and local offices. Back in 2016, I wrote the following: Let’s start with (what I think is) the most interesting bill on today’s docket, and see what you think about it. HB 375 […]

Trump Defense Goes Trumpian. Bellicosity and falsehoods in equal measure. Although shorter than the average Trump campaign event. Designed to appeal to one person: Former President Donald J. Trump’s legal team mounted a combative defense on Friday focused more on assailing Democrats for “hypocrisy” and “hatred” than justifying Mr. Trump’s own monthslong effort to overturn […]
Blog Nostalgia
In a way I miss the days when Republican fuckwits would come here and try to defend the horrible shit elected Republicans were up to. It would be especially interesting to hear them argue that attacking the congress and killing cops is OK because …Maxine Waters…used the word ‘fight’ once …(?)
