Biden’s Unity isn’t Coons’ “meet in the middle” Faux Unity

Biden’s Unity isn’t Coons’  “meet in the middle”  Faux Unity

I was buoyed by Biden’s speech. He talked about the importance of “truth” and honor. I hope Coons was listening. Because while Coons figures that bipartisanship means compromising on basic principles – Biden’s view appears to be that truth is more important than meeting in the middle.

I’ve often said that Coon’s version of bipartisanship amounts to “We say 1+1=2, but they say 1+1=4, so the truth must lie in the middle and 1+1=3.

Coons is a slave to a logical fallacy called argument to moderation. Biden basically said “Fuck no. 1+1=2 and let’s get some unity around that simple truth.”

This Andrews thing is really an embarrassing mess.

“We will be back in some form.”

In handcuffs?

Open Thread II:

Until he is found guilty and thrown in jail, I’d be happy if this was the last time Trump is ever mentioned in the media.   I guess many of us are going to be following along with the TV today.  You can put your observations here.

Cleaning Up After The Elephants: Volume 1

“Some of us are like a shovel brigade that follow a parade down Main Street cleaning up.”–Chief-Of-Staff Donald Regan after a typical Reagan screw-up. The Biden Administration has a lot of shoveling to do to clean up the cheeseburger-infested feces of Donald Trump.  That shoveling begins today. This will be a rare ‘good news’ series, […]

DL Open Thread 1/20/21:  Inauguration Day

It is  almost equal parts “Fuck off, Trump, you piece of shit DAY!” and Inauguration Day.  It is too bad that Trump was able to fuck up the transition as much as he did.  But when you look at his track record of fucking things up, the over the top level of fucked-upedness wasn’t at […]

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, January 19, 2021

Yet another circumscribed week in Dover.  There will be no session on Wednesday in deference to the Inauguration of President Biden and Veep Kamala Harris. Look for a similarly-circumscribed Inaugural today for Governor John Carney and Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long.  As someone who has attended these in the past, I’m thankful it’s virtual.  You can […]

UPDATED: A Pathetic, Fucked in the Head Jane Brady Argues in Favor of the DEGOP Keeping the Racism Going in Transparent Bid to Curry Favor With Witzke

The shambling zombified corpse that is the DEGOP is being led by a cynical fucker who is unguarded about keeping the hate and racism going.

Brady says whether or not Trump has a political future, Republicans must fight to keep the supporters he brought into the party.

“I mean he didn’t agree with everybody on everything, and he said what he thought,” she said. “People felt emboldened to say what they thought. I think that’s a good thing.”

Song of the Day 1/18: The Ronettes, “Be My Baby”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on January 18, 2021 0 Comments

Phil Spector, the groundbreaking record producer and paranoid murderer who died yesterday at age 81, made an indelible mark on the recording industry by inventing the Wall of Sound. It doesn’t sound that complicated — just turn everything up to 11, right? — but when Phil Spector built his wall, he had just two tracks […]

DL Open Thread 1/18/21: Biden’s Looming War on Republican Mendacity and Stupidity & Happy MLK Day

Filed in National by on January 18, 2021 15 Comments

The Delaware Senate Republicans who refused to congratulate Biden and Harris are awful, but the statement on why they voted against a simple bit of civility and decency is appalling beyond measure.  It has the hallmarks of being written by the very appallingly smarmy creep, Anthony Delcollo.  

It is meant to signal that Democrats interested in governing and proper order will find only hatred and bitterness if they expect to work with Republicans.  I think we have to the votes, and I hope we have the political will  to utterly ignore these fucking assholes.   They are sorely in need of being judged by the content of thier character.

Why 6 Delaware Republicans refused to congratulate, express support for Joe Biden


This is a good companion to that Delaware story.   Ultimately the American experiment in self-government comes down to people having a bit of character.

Song of the Day 1/17: The Circle Jerks, “When the Shit Hits the Fan”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on January 17, 2021 0 Comments

Though the song was written about America under Reagan, its core message remains true today: We all gotta duck when the shit hits the fan. The Circle Jerks formed in 1979 when vocalist Keith Morris left Black Flag and guitarist Greg Hetson from Redd Kross joined him. They became a seminal LA punk band, cited […]

DL Open Thread 1/17/21: Delusional Dotard Delusional to the Last

I’m not holding my breath expecting America to come to grips with what it was, is and shall become, so I expect people to deny until death the fact that this was a planned — poorly planned, but planned nonetheless — attempt to steal the election, followed by a poorly planned coup when the theft […]

Trump Years Didn’t Really Put a Hurting on DEGOP Registration

Filed in National by on January 16, 2021 14 Comments

I’m a little bit surprised to find that DEGOP registration growth tracks with Democrats. Although the DEGOP has fallen to third party status in many DE Rep District – the Trump years shit show didn’t cause the widespread abandonment of the DEGOP that one would expect.

Republicans are just racist motherfuckers who hate America. I guess it is that simple.
