America: A Great Idea, Botched
Solid things – like Roman coliseums – last a very long time. Republics and democracies, not so much. Benjamin Franklin must have been staring directly at us, America in 2024, when he was answering what kind of government we’d just created. A republic – if we could keep it. The answer, clearly, is no. We…

Back It Up Or It’s Bullshit
Nine years into the Donald Trump Era of American politics and our news media still can’t handle him. To this very instant, he handles them!

Thank You, Lawrence O’Donnell – The American News Media IS Being 2016 Stupid All Over Again

If the last decade has demonstrated anything – again and again and again – it’s that Democrats…

Conservatives Are All “C-Words”: Corrupt, Craven, Contemptible, Cowardly & Criminal
If the Trumpification of the Republican Party has proven one thing above all others, it’s this: conservatism – as a political philosophy – is a black hole of CRAVEN racist, misogynist, bigoted fear-based hate. Unable to win elections honestly, conservatives have sought instead to win elections by limiting the electorate to just their voters. And…

Loosing Is The One Thing Donald Trump Does Consistently
Have ya noticed how pretty much EVERY SINGLE TIME Donald Trump has to deal with the court system – and juries especially – HE LOSES. There are REAMS OF DATA to back this up: LOOSING is the one thing Trump does consistently. Same thing with elections. Trump LOSES THEM CONSISTENTLY, too. 2020 is the shiningest…
