Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, January 12, 2021
I haven’t been this psyched for a legislative session in forever. Members of the 151st General Assembly will be sworn in virtually today. You can view the ceremonies here and here. I know that so many of you worked on the campaigns of these great freshman legislators. Sit back and enjoy as they take the […]

DELAWARE
State police will not want to hurt these criminals feelings, so will these domestic terrorists be allowed to kill a bunch of people in Dover, as planned? Take the poll ->.
Song of the Day 1/11: The Rolling Stones, “Play With Fire”
Insurrectionists are finding out that their little cosplay coup has produced repercussions IRL. Should have listened to Mick and the boys, though I suppose this song, originally the B-side of “The Last Time,” isn’t a high-rotation song on classic rock radio. It should be. If it’s not a better song than “Angie,” at least its […]
We Want YOU To Run For State Auditor!
Let’s not mince words: The Office Of State Auditor has extraordinary potential to promote accountability and transparency in state government. The State Auditor, the last two in particular, have instead opted to cover up clear violations of state law and policy, and have served as agents for the Delaware Way. One, Tom Wagner, covered up […]

(Up to) 8 days left until Trump turns into more of a pumpkin.
Biden to use Gordons Pond parking lot for Marine One
Presidential helicopter will touch down around the corner from North Shores home.
I like that President Biden is going to be using his Rehoboth home as his get away spot.
. Read on, open threaders. So much thready goodness under the fold.
Analysis of Trump’s incitement to insurrection speech
Seth Abramson takes a deep dive into precisely what Trump *said* in his January 6 speech in DC. Follow along and see if you can see where Trump breaks the law.
Song of the Day 1/10: Randy Rainbow, “Sedition”
You have to wonder what Randy Rainbow’s next gig will be in the post-Trump era. Will he turn into Vaughn Meader, the JFK impersonator whose career evaporated after Kennedy’s assassination? Meader was actually a musician before his First Family-spoofing comedy album, and he returned to music after his fall from popularity. Rainbow was an aspiring […]
DL Open Thread: Sunday, January 10, 2021
Trump Fired Federal Prosecutor In Georgia Because He Wouldn’t Investigate Trump’s ‘Voter Fraud’ Claims. That was the ‘unforeseen circumstance’ the prosecutor cited for leaving. Trump Pushed Georgia Elections Investigator To ‘Find The Fraud’ In Separate Call. Paging Mike Pence… ‘Our President Wants Us Here.’ Those weren’t dog whistles he was blowing, they were clarion calls […]
Song of the Day 1/9: Was (Not Was), “Dad I’m in Jail”
Lots of people who joined Vanilla Isis should be singing this one this morning, though maybe without the “Dad” — I read somewhere that the average age of the cosplay commandos is over 40. This is the last track from the 1982 Was (Not Was) LP “What Up, Dog?”
DL Open Thread: Saturday, January 9, 2021
The Incoming Senate Environmental Chair Is–Tom Carper. Incremental change awaits. Rethuglican Party Embraces Denialism. Does anything about this gathering seem in touch with reality to you? Rethuglican State Attorneys General Funded The Mob. Making them criminals…along with the surviving Koch Brother. To (half)-wit: RAGA is a 527 political organization that helps elect Republican attorneys general […]
Song of the Day 1/8: Elton John, “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word”
The Republican rush for the exits had generated plenty of people saying “I-never-thought” and “we-only-meant,” but one word has been conspicuously absent from any Republican I’ve heard. Guess what it is. The second single from John’s “Blue Moves” LP reached No. 6 in the U.S. (No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart). In 2002, British […]
“People are saying…”
It is amazing to me how much of the world view of Trump (and basically all Republicans) hangs on what they just heard a caller tell Rush Limbaugh. The Party of personal responsibility? More like the party of unsubstantiated, unvetted, patently ludicrous nonsense.
