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…

“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…

The Hard Costs Of Being A “Trumpanista”
Our intrepid news media (my sarcasm font’s working, right?) still asks the bone-headed question “Why does Donald Trump have such a hold on the Republican Party?” They’re oblivious of the fact that they themselves exposed that truth eons ago. Way back at the start of this madness. If only they ever read their own copy.…

Opinion Polls v Horse Manure
If the Trump years have demonstrated anything, it’s the utter vacuity of our news media. When all this madness finally slows to a modified crawl (if it ever does) – after we’ve delivered justice to all those deserving it – we’ll turn our attention to the press. While a few intrepid news people have met…

What’s Going On Between The GOP And Vladimir Putin?
I’ll repeat the question – “What’s going on between the GOP and Vladimir Putin?” – because absolutely, positively, no-two-ways-about-it, something IS going on. And it has everything to do with treason. I’m old enough to remember when the Republican Party viewed Russia (The Soviet Union and Russia are pretty much the same thing) as the…

Maybe It’s Time For “The Big Die”
Donald Trump has lived “The Big Lie” long enough. The Big Lie itself has lived far longer than it had any right to live considering the fact that it’s one hundred percent pure bullshit. It’s absurd that such a thing as “The Big Lie” is even a “thing” to begin with! But then, it’s absurd…

The Corruption In Our Midst
New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez epitomizes the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Senator Menendez’s corruption – and this ain’t his first time at that rodeo – gave the news media all the proof it needed that, yes-indeedy, “both sides do it”. But aside from the corrupt act itself, there’s nothing else here that “both…

Our News Media STILL Can’t Handle Donald Trump
I’ve no doubt that KRISTEN WELKER, newly appointed host of NBC’s creaky, tired, old MEET THE PRESS, is good at something. Journalism however ain’t it. Even when she was just a regular member of NBC News’ reporting corps, Kristen regularly demonstrated that she was a mediocre little girl trying to fill a skilled, grown woman’s…

The Cost Of Doing Nothing
The Republican Party reminds us every day how expensive it is “doing nothing”. In the face of a massive, demonstrable problem – like, say, climate change – the GOP’s invariable response to the cost of addressing it is “do nothing”. That supposes that doing nothing costs nothing. But that’s about the most false economy there…

Why Does Donald Trump Keep Using The Word “Perfect”?
Every time Donald Trump uses the word “perfect” – to describe a phone call or a meeting or himself – “The Princess Bride” flashes across my mind. In “The Princess Bride”, Wallace Shawn’s character Vizzini keeps using the word “inconceivable” to describe things that are actually quite conceivable. Because they’re happening. Mandy Patinkin’s Inigo Montoya…
