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.
DL Open Thread: Friday, January 8, 2021
Capitol Police Officer Dies. Beaten by a thug wielding a fire extinguisher. Trump should be tried for murder. ‘Reckless disregard’, I know, I’ve watched way too much Law & Order. Police Were Complicit In Riot. Capitol Police had more than enough resources to handle this, but didn’t. It’s True: Law Enforcement More Than Twice As […]
Delaware Republicans Celebrate Coup Attempt and Murder of Capitol Police Officer
Delaware Republicans Rob Stout and Sam Chick giving “thumbs up” while celebrating Wednesday’s coup attempt and murder of a Capitol Police officer.

Ernie Lopez (SD 6) Supports Trump & Coup Attempt
Silence is support. Ernesto’s silence speaks volumes.
Join your goddam RD Committee – Part 2
I had my first RD meeting tonight (the 9th). I highly recommend it. In addition to being able to take part in electing the next generation of Democratic Party leadership, you will have direct access to your county council person, state rep, state Senator and the LT Governor. You will need to listen to a lot of people who love the sound of their own voice, and endure people talking about rail road crossings – but that is a small price to pay.
Join prior to Feb 1st. In the age of Zoom, it couldn’t be easier. You have no excuse.
– Join your RD
– Become a committee person
– Help elect more Democrats
– Help hold elected Dems accountable
DL Open Thread Non-Coup (Sorta) Edition: Thursday, January 7, 2021
BTW, Biden Is Officially The President-Elect. You would have had to stay up until 5 am or so to know it. But, it happened. This IS Who We Are. The notion of the ‘United States As Example’ is dead. Highly-recommended read. A sample: Over the past four years, that example has been badly damaged. We […]
DL Open Thread: Trump-Incited Coup Edition
Trump brought ’em to DC, lit the fuse, incited them, and pointed them in the direction of the US Capitol. An assault on democracy to keep a despot in power. Only 52 arrests? There would be at least 52 dead if this was a BLM rally…not to mention a storming of the Capitol would not […]
No atheists in a fox hole
On CBS now – footage of Pramila Jayapal on the upper gallery of the Senate chamber hearing gunshots with Lisa Blunt Rochester in the background clearly praying her ass off.
Your Senior Senator Has Shit for Brains — Fuck You, Carper
Tom Carper was asked about impeaching Trump, as many elected Democrats have called for. Carper’s response: “The idea of taking the time to try to impeach him, the idea of trying to expel members of the House of Senate for their efforts to protect the President and continue this fiction … I just think we […]
