Open Thread For June 7, 2017

Filed in Delaware, National by on June 7, 2017

Trump Nominates Christopher Wray as FBI Director.  Timing purely coincidental, of course.  BTW, Chris Christie was Wray’s biggest cheerleader for the post.

Why Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross Found No Protesters in Saudi Arabia.  If you guessed that protesters face execution for protesting, you’d be correct.  Ross liked the fact that there were no protesters.

John Carney’s Brave Plan to Fix Prisons.  Hire someone else to do it. BTW, I encourage you to listen to the clip, if only as a cure for insomnia.

What Cutting Delaware Health Care Funding Would Do. Nothing good would come of it.  Get your head out of your gelatinous jellyfish ass, John.

How the Trumps Used ‘Charity’ To Stuff Their Pockets.  Cheeto Boy steals money earmarked for children’s cancer charity.  This entire family is utterly w/o a single redeeming characteristic. Great story in Forbes.

The Brownback Austerity Experiment Is Over:  Kansas legislature votes to put an end to austerity by overriding Brownback veto.

Secret Senate Gutting of Obamacare Could Succeed. McConnell’s only a couple of votes away.  Be very afraid.

What do you want to talk about?

    Ok, is it ever going to be warm and sunny so I can ride my bike through beach towns to juice bars, coffee shops and flirt with tourist women.

    Charity fraud…And to think the Trump family is whom redneck voters chose to be their champion. I can think of worse words than deplorable, but it will do for now.

  3. mouse says:

    All those types care about is that Trump validates and speaks their bigotry

  4. chris says:

    Why does John Carney need a “special assistant” to fix the prisons? We pay a Corrections Commissioner 150K plus a year to do the damn job….why not hire a competent leader to lead the department and hold him/ her accountable?
    This is what’s wrong with government thinking. Layers on top of layers of unaccountable bureaucracy.

    .why not hire a competent leader to lead the department and hold him/ her accountable?”

    because it is the Delaware Democratic party. If they arent helping make the republicans look like a reasonable alternative, they are failing to keep their oath to suck.

    I can’tr think of a single Sussex County legislator who isn’t completely self serving
