General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, January 13, 2021
The virtual pageantry is over, the leaders and committees have been made official, and both chambers are ready for action. Not, of course, w/o some protest votes from the toothless Senate Rethugs: Sens. Colin Bonini, R-Dover; Bryant Richardson, R-Seaford; Dave Wilson, R-Lincoln; and Sen. Lawson voted against a resolution establishing Senate rules because a provision […]
Mad Props For LBR
This video has gone, pardon the expression, viral. As well it should. You can see the barely-contained smirk on the face of QAnon Conspirator Marjorie Taylor Greene. My favorite line?: “Don’t do yourself any favors.” These assholes have infected at least three members of Congress. Meaning, of course, that at least one of them is […]

BREAKING?
Lots of fucking impeachment news overnight. Ive been waiting for “the other shoe to drop” for 4 years, so I didn’t stay up to follow it. Did other shoes rain down roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream? If so, good. If not – here is what I knew as of bedtime:
- McConnell is now in favor of impeachment. Not so fast. Nobody is saying that.
- McConnell is now in favor of kicking Trump to the curb. Probably.
- McConnell is a devious fucking devil working some game? Absolutely
The good news for America is that if it is true that McConnell is trying to “get rid of the President and Trumpism from the Republican Party” then there will be no Republican Party when this is all over.
McConnell believes impeachment push will help rid Trump from the GOP, but has not said if he will vote to convict
Washington (CNN) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that he believes that impeaching President Donald Trump will make it easier to get rid of the President and Trumpism from the Republican Party, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
Another person with direct knowledge told CNN there’s a reason McConnell has been silent on impeachment as other Republicans have pushed back: he’s furious about last week’s attack on the US Capitol by the President’s supporters, even more so that Trump has shown no contrition. His silence has been deliberate as he leaves open the option of supporting impeachment.
– Trump may be able to avoid prison, but there is no way he isn’t going to die a broke ass, loser.
– Should Delaware Schools go back to in person teaching?
So much lovely open thread below the fold.

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 […]

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 […]

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?”
