The Rule Of Law Doesn’t Really Exist – We Made It Up. If We Want It “To Be”, We Have To MAKE IT “Be”
Americans take so much for granted. I know I took for granted that I lived in a representative democracy where everyone played by the same rules. Unfortunately, Republicans don’t take our system of government for granted — they want to destroy it. Some Democrats — and most of the news media — take Republicans completely…

Americans Need To Start Calling Things What They Really Are… Republicans, For Instance, Are “Traitors”
Remember back to the good ol’ days when news networks, grasping at their pearls, saved us from now-POTUS Donald Trump uttering the words “grab em by the pussy”? Heaven forbid an American news audience hear those words. An American news audience, the News Networks decided, could not possibly handle hearing what a candidate for POTUS…

By Their Very Nature, RW-ers Are Closed-Minded & Progressives Are Open-Minded
“Both Sides Do It” thinking (and journalism) would want us to believe that that headline is biased and wrong because both sides are equally closed-minded and open-minded. The fact is both sides are different not just because they want to be different but because they actually think differently. There’s even science to back that up…

It Really Is This Simple: By LAW, You Cannot CHEAT To Become POTUS; Therefore Donald Trump Has NEVER Been POTUS
Now, that’s just The Rule Of Law talking and what does The Rule Of Law know? That’s how Republicans think these days apparently. To be absolutely fair about it, they’re right. The Rule Of Law is a fiction that we invented for our mutual benefit. There are lots of places on Earth where the people…

Republicans Defend Themselves The Way Bullies Do; It’s Not A Coincidence
Listening to Trump or Moscow Mitch McConnell bray about how Democrats should have talked to their witnesses first before even thinking of sending Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for prosecution — tripe repeated via tweet by Donald Trump — one has to remember: the whole reason Democrats HAVEN’T talked to all those witnesses is…

Abuse Of Power Is The Republican Brand & The Republican Brand Is Abuse Of Power
There’s no similar string of corruption on the Democratic Party’s side: Watergate… Iran-Contra… The Iraq War… Trump-Russia-Trump-Ukraine (it’s the same thing). It’s not because the Democrats aren’t “creative” enough. They’re plenty creative. They just spend most of THEIR creativity on improving the Commonweal, not raping & pilaging it like pirates at a free-for-all. Both sides…

When They Ask “What’d You Do In The Cyber War, Daddy?” What Will Republicans Say Except “I Betrayed America”?
What else is there to say, really?

It Won’t Be Enough Just To Impeach & Remove Trump From Office; We Must EXPUNGE Every Bit Of Him
America’s original sin — not outlawing slavery in our Constitution — still haunts us to this day. We fought a Civil War over that fact — before Andrew Johnson’s small-minded, racist actions prevented the Reconstruction that might have salved slavery’s wounds just enough to let us move forward productively. Wrongs that go unrighted will not…
