Conservatives Prove Again And Again: They’re All “C-Words”
As Niki Haley proved last night, conservatives in America are all “c-words” starting with COWARDS, CRAVEN and CORRUPT. Two weeks ago, Nikki was huddling with her homies (her donors), insisting that Donald Trump was “unqualified”. Now, despite the fact that Trump’s “unstable and unhinged” – and despite the fact that Trump is now closer to…

Taking Treason For Granted
It’s a stone cold fact: our news media now takes treason for granted. Just as true, they’ve been taking it for granted from even before Trump became POTUS. From the beginning, Trump has fawned over Vladimir Putin like a groupie fellating a rock star. Has anyone in main stream news media ever done a deep…

Republicans Are The New Confederacy
Oh, the irony… The Party Of Lincoln is now the official political party of The New Confederacy. You think it’s a coincidence that the current Republican Party likes flying confederate flags? Flags are symbols. They compact lots of ideas into a simple, single image. American flags concentrate “what it is to be American” into their…

Crimes Against Democracy
Yesterday felt distinctly like a horror movie. The SCOTUS announcing they’d hear Donald Trump’s immunity gambit sent shock waves coursing through the news media.

And the Republican Party isn’t just the Trumpist Party now, it’s the party of treason. The term “fifth column” originated during the Spanish Civil War. Emilio Mola Vidal, a Nationalist general who served…

Banality Of Evil Super Stars: JIM JORDAN
The writer and philosopher HANNAH ARENDT coined the term “the banality of evil” to describe ADOLPH EICHMANN and the Nazi environment. Not only had they accepted a brutal, thoughtless approach to everything – where crimes against humanity could happen – they were, by nature, extremely banal themselves. And their own native banality contributed to the…

We Need To Start Using The Word “TRAITOR” – And Meaning It
Donald Trump is a traitor. So is virtually the entire Republican Party. There. I said it. More to the point? I absolutely mean it. Donald Trump and virtually everyone in the Republican Party – because either they are one or they stand with one – is a TRAITOR. Not a hyperbolic traitor, but a literal…

Calling Republicans “Traitors” Isn’t Political
Donald Trump was a liar long before the press finally called him one. An authoritarian and a fascist, too. The same applies to “traitor”. He is one and has been one all along. Ditto the rest of the GOP. What, after all, is a pro-Putin Republican if not a traitor by another name? Calling them…
