A Postcard From The White Trash Revolution
I wish I could live a couple hundred years so I could see how history and perspective view January 7, 2020. My bet: neither will be kind to Donald Trump or the Republican Party. Another bet: January 7 will be understood as the high water mark of America’s White Trash Revolution. Time will make clear…

Why The Hell Would ANY Republican Be “Pro-Putin”?
Where’s Joe McCarthy when you actually need him? Imagine what Red-Baiting Joe would make of the GOP – the Party siding with Russia in its war against Democratic Ukraine. Now, to be fair, Russia isn’t Communist like the Soviet Union, it’s autocratic. But, Vladimir Putin worked for the Soviet government. He led the KGB as…

The GOP Is Putin’s Bitch
Somewhere, what’s left of Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave. “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall has been replaced by “Let Ukraine fend for itself”. How the hell did the party that bragged about defeating the Soviet Union become Russia’s number one cheerleader and Vladimir Putin’s personal fluffer? The Republican Party has already answered…

Can A Traitor Really Become Speaker Of The House?
It’s a trick question! Here in America, the answer is “Why, of course! If you’re a Republican, you absolutely can be a traitor – and still become Speaker Of The House!” The GOP finally held together and made Louisiana Representative Mike Johnson the new Speaker Of The House of Representatives. It only took three weeks…

What If Trump’s Presidency Was Illegitimate?
Remember that photo? Hard to forget, really. That’s the current leader of the Republican Party looking like Vladimir Putin’s bitch! But, really, it’s a photo of so much more. That’s a picture of corruption in the extreme. It’s the smoking gun that everyone saw and no one (except maybe a few keen-eyed observers) appreciated. It’s…

Donald Trump Is NOT Running For Re-election
Though Donald Trump formally declared his run for 2024 on November 15, 2022 in a speech to supporters at Mar-a-Lago, at no point has he ever actually been running for re-election. Oh, sure, he’s going through the familiar motions of campaigning. Our news media’s all lathered up. As much as covering politics baffles them, they…

“Elections Have Consequences” – STOLEN Ones Especially
Let’s put this on the table first: Donald Trump has projected every single one of his criminal acts onto others. Even back in 2016 – when everyone still refused to take Trump seriously – he was projecting a stolen election. He wasn’t making it up. He knew whereof he spoke. And the thing on his…

Karma Comes Calling For Mitch McConnell
You might have missed it. The shift was subtle. Karma’s come for Mitch McConnell. When President Biden signs the “Inflation Reduction Act” into law, the majority of Americans will have cause to celebrate. Republicans will, too. They just won’t admit it. The climate doesn’t care about anyone’s politics. The person who’ll celebrate least is Senate…

Conservatives & Ooga-Booga
The Supreme Court, finishing its annus horribilus at the top of its American Enterprise Institute coached form has just told the Biden Administration – America actually – that the EPA can’t tell power plants how much they can pollute our air. For the Supreme Court’s information, the air THEY breathe is no different from the…

False Equivalence Journalism & The Death Of American Democracy
On June 2, 2016, Eric Alterman wrote a piece for The Nation – “How False Equivalence Is Distorting The 2016 Election Coverage” – that he could just as well have written this morning about how America’s news media are covering Election 2022. Not only has nothing changed in the way our news media covers elections,…
