Delaware Political Occasionally: Mid-June Edition
1. It’s Official: Scarane Vs. Coons. Scarane has a puncher’s chance. I think she needs to get the insurgent protest movement to coalesce around her candidacy. They are motivated, and if they vote, she could win. She’s doing her part, although her campaign would do well to not alienate prospective supporters. Chris Coons became an […]
Song of the Day 6/18: The Persuasions, “Electric Aunt Jemima”
Unless you’re a right-winger, you probably haven’t thought about Aunt Jemima in years, given that she’s not a real person and all. But when Quaker Oats announced they were retiring the minstrel-show-based mascot after more than 130 years, conservatives suddenly had a black person they cared about. Kill black guys for falling asleep in the […]
DL Open Thread: Thurs., June 18, 2020
“Do Me A Favor, Though…”: “…Buy our farmers’ stuff, and I’ll win the election and give you a sweetheart trade deal.” Oh, and look the other way on those concentration camps. Likely the biggest news out of the Bolton book. For some reason, Trump/Barr are trying to stop the book’s release, even though the salacious […]
DL Open Thread: Weds., June 17, 2020
This Tulsa Rally Shapes Up To Be A Disaster. The Great Unwashed are lining up four days before the event. No doubt to read the fine print in the Trump disclaimer. Not only should he not go, I think that even he knows that he should not go. But he can’t be seen as weak. […]
Coons Stays Silent as His Top Donor Tries to Crush a Union
Having a lifetime sinecure in the Senate means that Chris Coons is free to be whoever he wants to be in the Senate. Unburdened from ever having to face a legitimate Republican challenger means that he is free to be his true self. Chris Coons’ true self is horrible. Already Battling Coronavirus, Workers Will Vote […]
Song of the Day 6/16: Public Enemy, “Fight the Power”
Chuck D issued this call to action just over 30 years ago. The track debuted as the theme song to Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing” in 1989, the year before it was released on “Fear of a Black Planet,” PE’s most highly lauded LP. Public Enemy was the biggest thing happening in hip-hop in […]
Where is Lisa Blunt Rochester on Pete Schwartzkopf’s Blatant Racism?
You’d think the state’s most preeminent African American Democrat would have a take on the Speaker of the House outing himself as an un-reconstituted Dixiecrat racist who thinks African Americans just need to stop feeling sorry for themselves. Hmmm? Anyone heard anything?
DL Open Thread: Tues., June 16, 2020
Conservative Christians’ Heads Exploding. I’m enjoying it immensely–until the upcoming Roe decision. Dreading that one. There was also some good news on the Second Amendment front. Police Detain RWNJ ‘Civil Militia’ In New Mexico. Did I mention that a militia member fired at protesters? COVID-19 Growing Along The Interstates. I still can’t believe that we’re […]

Just get a load of this shit. Pete Schwartzkopf must resign or be removed by the caucus. *paraphrase
LGBTQ Community Gets Justice From–The Supreme Court!
This is just fantastic! Chief Justice Roberts and Trump appointee Gorsuch voted with the four most liberal members of the Court to rule that ‘a landmark civil rights law protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination.” “An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law,” Justice Neil M. […]

The Coronavirus Spike Is Real, And Trump Is Pretending It Isn’t. What better time to end unemployment benefits? The latest hot spots: Gainesville, FL; Lake County, FL (Home of The Villages); St. Petersburg, FL; Midland County, TX; Hays County TX; Ector County, TX; Yavapai County, AZ (went 2-1 for Trump in 2016). These are just […]
Coons’ Bipartisan Superpowers Fall Flat – Season 8, Episode XXVII
Ending qualified immunity for cops is central to any meaningful police reform. You might think that this, at long last is a a time for Coons’ “meaningful friendships across the aisle,” to come into play. You would be wrong. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) says that ending qualified immunity for police officers is “off […]
