Good news on the state legislature front:
Keep stating it, in plain language, please, how the GOP took the most wrong paths of all in 2009.
Over and over again, until November.
Hey look, Good Ol' Boy back-slapping and revanchist policy daydreaming was hoped for, planned for, ran on, and endorsed. It's not THEIR fault this landed on THEIR tenures in the mansions! /s

Most of his base is brainwashed, I agree. I think there's a number of Republicans who either won't vote for him or will vote for someone they think is "reasonable" against him (like Biden). Admittedly, I'm not sure how big that number is, though.
No. Delaware politics are pretty insulated against outsiders and incestuous to the point of asinine pride (a.k.a "The Delaware Way") and the corporate interests ensure nothing disrupts the status quo. Been that way since the 1800s thanks to the du Ponts (of whom two have been US senators and one a governor) and now chemical / banking / pharmaceutical companies.
People who are allowed in the door are pretty much guaranteed to drift upward, even swapping places with members of the opposite party when their terms expire (Tom Carper (D) and Mike Castle (R) traded the House Seat and Governorship, respectively, in 92.). Kerri Evelyn Harris only hit 35% when she ran against Carper this last election, I would expect Scarane to do about the same, sadly.
The good news is, at least the Republican challenger running against Coons is a total nutjob, complete with a beat up car he spray-painted his madness onto that he drives drunk (caught a DUI two weeks before the election) while nailing his hand-made signs into trees all over the state. Also, he records AA meetings (which got him banned from Facebook), claims white bread is killing his son, and oh yeah, he's a slumlord.
And yes his name really is Scott Walker. Even the state GOP disavowed him.

US keeps being #1 like Trump wanted.
Bush appointee at GSA from 2005-2014, worked for WH Counsel's office in December 2018
I had a man talk to me as I left the grocery store today telling me how weed opens up your lungs and they should let more people smoke it now that there's this virus.
He wondered aloud whether the virus was manmade.
I've subscribed to his newsletter.
We are in the money now!
is it broadcast directly to anyone with metal fillings?
So, random Friday question:
This time next year, about how many 2021 OT's will we have? Or, with Trump gone, how much will this thread slow down by? (Assume Biden wins, we have a DDD government with an 50+ Senate majority large enough that we don't really have to rely on VP to be a tiebreaker)
I say we'd be on our second about to go on to our third.

The threads will be just as fast moving because we'll be frantically calling out the blatant hypocrisy of Republicans crying foul about mundane things when they did far worse during their reign or caused said things in the first place.
Yep.
It will remind me a lot of the early years of Obama's presidency.
The GOP doesn't give a fuck how obviously hypocritical they are. But, hopefully, they won't get power ever again. We cannot afford another GOP White House, and even a GOP Senate. The GOP needs to be gone. Period. It's the only way this country will be able to make any kind of progress.

Trump fires intelligence community watchdog who defied him on whistleblower complaint
The president informed Congress of the move in a Friday-evening letter to the House and Senate intelligence committees.
www.politico.com
President Donald Trump has fired the intelligence community's chief watchdog, Michael Atkinson, who was the first to sound the alarm to Congress last September about an "urgent" complaint he'd received from an intelligence official involving Trump's communications with Ukraine.
Trump formally notified the Senate Intelligence Committee of his intention to fire Atkinson and remove him from his duties, to take effect 30 days from Friday, according to two congressional officials and a copy of the letter obtained by Politico dated April 3.
Friday night.

It's nice to know he has his priorities straight.

Trump can just fire this guy outright?
I really feel like some restraints need to be placed on the executive, way more than before dump took over. Maybe bush was just way more subtle.
Trump being in office has shown that a lot of our government seems to run on an honor system.
I feel you man. It is entirely, ludicrously fucked that the DPA still hasn't been properly invoked and Trump is still refusing to send NY the help they need in terms of PPE and ventilators. Instead he's retaliating against someone who tried to uphold the fucking law.
It's even more fucked that Trump is still the president. There are no efforts or rumblings from the Senate R side to answer as to why this literally deadly display of incompetence is still tolerated. People are dying and Mitch McConnell's response is to put the Senate in recess.

“@NatashaBertrand Per a congressional source: "Atkinson was only informed tonight that Trump had fired him, and he has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately." Administrative leave helps skirt a requirement that the intel committees get a 30-day heads up before removal.”

All of them. Honestly, I needed the laugh given how bad it's getting.
I think more egregious than the Atkinson firing tonight is that Trump put forth one of the WH lawyers for the position of oversight over the 500 billion in the stimulus. And the position is... Senate approved?
How the hell did they not fight to make the position either a) a bipartisan committee, b) House approved or c) House and Senate approved?
I feel like having the "surely Trump won't pick one of his close friends and surely the Senate wouldn't confirm" conversation would be impossible for any Dem in Congress after January 2020.

Congress tried that. It's the main reason Johnson was impeached
add it to the pile of fixes needed to the constitution
Give people a weekend to go balls out Doesn't really seem like a great idea to me. But maybe Missourians are more responsible than the folks here in Illinois.
