Is Lindsey Graham Scared Because Putin’s War Is About To Expose The Entire GOP As Traitors?
Lindsey Graham just had his turn to – in his case – ask Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (who’s as or more qualified than anyone who’s ever sat on the SCOTUS) “how many jelly beans are in the big ol’ jar?” Lindsey seemed less interested in questioning a SCOTUS nominee than in putting on a rather…

And To Think – All This Started With “Mexicans Are Rapists…!”
Did ya catch Vladimir Putin doing his best Donald Trump impersonation the other day – right down to the paid attendees? Pacing the stage (more like a caged animal than the prize fighter he probably sees himself as), Putin rambled and grieved for himself, made wild, unsupported and unsupportable accusations, and did his best to…

The GOP Hitched Its Wagon To Trump KNOWING His Wagon Was Hitched To Putin
The Republican Party saw Donald Trump coming. While Trump was a registered Democrat longer than he’s been registered as a Republican, that wasn’t because he used to embrace Democratic policies; it was because it made zero sense to be a Republican in NYC where Democrats held the political power and therefore access to the public’s…

Hey, Russia, If You’re Listening…

What Exactly Do We Mean By “War” (And Aren’t We Already IN One)?
Is Vladimir Putin’s nuclear sabre rattling meant to keep us out of a war or is it meant to keep us from realizing we’re already in one? I don’t think it’s even close: we’re already in a war – a world war, in fact, we just haven’t stopped to see it for what it is…

Do We Really Need To Connect ALL The Dots To Prove Trump Is A Traitor?
For the entirety of his presidency, our news media couldn’t fathom why Donald Trump seemed so unnaturally beholden to Vladimir Putin. I bet the actual number of times our press wondered aloud about Trump’s subservience is literally incalculable. Personally, I’m shocked most TV talking heads don’t have actual divots in their scalps from scratching their…

Are Republicans Rootin’ For Putin?
On Friday night, the Republicans began their CPAC convention in Orlando, Florida. If you want to know what Republicans are “thinking” – something lizard brains actually can’t do – this is the place to be. Unfortunately for the GOP, world events keep interfering with their coup attempt. Let’s not forget – as our news media…
