Have Rethugs Already Started Civil War? Wisconsin. Michigan. Colorado. Texas. Especially Texas. Pretty much in every state. Egged On By The Rabble Rouser-In-Chief. The conclusion is inescapable: The President is advocating for civil insurrection. This should be a lead story every single day. Not to mention his burial of the CDC guidelines. Trump Vs. Fauci. […]
Song of the Day 5/13: Ice Cube, “Your Money or Your Life”
Pollsters asked people whether they were more worried about public health or the economy. Among Democrats, public health was more important by a 72-16 margin. Republicans, the economy won out, 55-38. So, in essence, a majority of Republicans are like Jack Benny — forced to choose between their money or their life, they’d have to […]

Is This The Precursor To ‘Obamagate’? Probably. If indeed there IS an Obamagate. Painting Michael Flynn as the victim of some dark Obamaesque conspiracy will have no impact outside of what passes for the President’s base. A Powerful Endorsement For Lindsey Graham’s Challenger. From an establishment figure who supported Graham until Graham abandoned McCain. Keep […]
Song of the Day 5/12: Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, “Forget About Georgia”
Though a few states never shut down to deal with the coronavirus, Georgia was the first to ease its lockdown restrictions. Gov. Brian Kemp apparently thought he was doing it with the approval of Trump, but the pee-resident slagged him for it within 24 hours. Now the state’s residents have made their feelings known: Only […]
The Delaware Liberal Occasional Political Weekly
The local political scene has been slowed immeasurably, but I’ve now got more than enough for an update. 1. Sarah McBride Gets Primary Challenger And General Election Opponent. We already knew that former IPOD member Steven Washington was going to be her R challenger. He has now filed. What we didn’t know was that Joe […]

Trump Flees From Reporters. Notice how he spits out ‘China’ the same way the Church Lady spat out ‘Satan’. BTW, Asian-Americans used to vote for R’s in fairly solid numbers. Not any more. At least 77% are poised to vote against Trump. One more constituency gone. Keep in mind that he fled a press conference […]
Delaware Stonewall (Not) Democrats Endorsements Eagerly Awaited
After an “in the dark of night” change in their bylaws which allowed an endorsement of Trump supporting Republican, Mike Ramone, in 2018 the Delaware Stonewall (not) Democrats endorsement process has come under more scrutiny this year.
While Mike Ramone has recently broken with Trump privately, [by some accounts calling him a piece of shit] he has not publicly renounced the impeached President who is openly in contempt of LGBT Americans.
According to the PAC’s Political Vice-President, Mitch Crane, a public break with Trump has been considered a requirement for a 2020 endorsement from Stonewall. It isn’t clear now if a private, behind closed doors, refutation of Trump will suffice for Stonewall to re-endorse the execrable Trump supporter who is facing a tough challenge from Stephanie Barry again this year. What is clear is the fact that the “wait and see” dynamic has created some drama around the endorsement in a year in which Trump and his enablers are roundly hated by a large majority of Delaware voters.
Trump Hints at Prosecuting Obama
For what? Who the fuck knows what goes through his worm eaten brain. I do know, however, with Bill Barr as AG – Obama should keep a jet fueled on the runway. Asked if he believes the Justice Department should prosecute former President Barack Obama for what he calls “Obamagate,” Trump didn’t say. “You’ll be […]
Would it be news if a Republican State Rep Publicly Called Trump A Piece of Shit?
Apparently Mike Ramone is going around trashing the President in private, but, to my knowledge, he has yet to call Trump a low life piece of shit in public.
Ramone is trying to have it both ways. Facing a tough challenger in Stephanie Barry and trying to snag the Stonewall PAC endorsement – Ramone is apparently trashing Trump to Democrats in private.
It is an especially dickish move from Ramone. What the country need like now is people like Ramone coming out in public and telling the truth about the President. Everything else is tacit support.
Song of the Day 5/11: Roy Zimmerman and the ReZisters, “Vote Him Away (The Liar Tweets Tonight)”
I can’t even count how many internet wags have repurposed “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” to the Trump era by singing “The Liar Tweets Tonight.” Roy Zimmerman released a different version two years ago, but he’s now updated it for the COVID crisis with references not just to Trump’s pandemic pratfalls but to “Tiger King” Joe […]

How Conspiracy Theory Led To Funding Cut For Effective Pandemic Research. From 60 Minutes. Only in this administration could the conspiratorial ramblings of Rethug whack-job Matt Gaetz take precedence over, you know, science. Or facts. ‘Staggering’ Death Totals At Nursing Homes. 15 states have already rushed to protect nursing homes from legal responsibility. Nice to […]
Are you prepared for how fucked the American economy is?
I have to admit, I am not mentally prepared. In ADDITION to everything covered here “The Suicide of the American Economy” there is also the fact that America is about to become a “NO GO” hot zone for the rest of the world. The infection rate in America — unlike in other rich countries — […]
Delaware News Guild & Biden Blackout
REV talks with Natalia Alamdari about local news coverage of the Reade story on his podcast. I’m not buying into the Reade story, so I suppose I am taking part in the “stonewalling”. I will say this though. Biden is definitely guilty of being an old white guy.
