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…

White Mediocrity Vs Everyone Else
Wanna know what we’re experiencing? It’s a grudge match, plain and simple – between white mediocrity and everyone else. How else to describe “Jews [or anyone] will not replace us”? The first time I heard that, I thought “why are you so afraid of being replaced? Replaced how? In what way?” Can I be honest?…

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…

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…

Some Monotheists Think THEY Are God
America today is what happens when religion runs amok – monotheism and monotheists in particular. The Christian version of monotheism in very particular. Christianity’s whole nature – telling you (and selling you) “the good news” – demands shoving itself down every available throat. American Christianity fosters a strange, paranoid delusion that we’re still living during…

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…

“A Tedious Argument Of Insidious Intent”
You don’t even have to see an identifier when a conservative argues for anything conservative. You can hear their conservatism in their voice. It’s cynical notes – all off-key and menacing – assume the very worst of everyone not them. “Yeah, but…!” arguments abound that suppose all sorts of ludicrous what ifs against which we…

How To Kill A Trumpenstein? Mock It To Death
Stone cold fact: Donald Trump is a monster. He was a corruption monster walking in the door. Handed power, Trump became an even bigger monster and outright danger to democracy. We The People witnessed this transformation in real time! But, for all its bluster (and the very real dangers it poses), the Trumpenstein monster is…
