On This Perverse Independence Day, A Reminder — American Exceptionalism Is REAL: It’s Our DIVERSITY…
Today may be July 4, but it doesn’t feel like a normal Independence Day. More like… Trumpendance Day. Not a national celebration, a national tragedy. If our problem were only Donald Trump — his corruption, his crime family and their spider web of self-serving criminal enterprises — his treason — this “problem” would have been…

Male Thinking Explained (Warning: You Won’t Like It)
They may come for my Male Card for writing this — screw em! The time has come to man up about how men “man up”: it’s all in our minds. No woman would ever speak the words “I alone can fix it” because every woman knows that’s utter bullshit. No one can fix anything alone.…

Americans Need To Get It Out Of Our Heads: We DO NOT Do Everything Right
My gut is, this very American attitude — “How WE Do It Is How It Should Be Done” — flows from, the MALE of the American species. It’s definitely got a “I alone can fix it” pong to it. You know how men are kind of “famous” for refusing to ever ask for directions when…

How Many Republicans Does It Take To Screw In A Lightbulb? Zero — There’s No More House – They Burned It Down
I’m not the first person to compare Donald Trump to an arsonist who sets fires then calls the Fire Department — then does everything he can to get in the Fire Department’s way when they show up to put out the flames. Incompetence is bad. Malicious incompetence is worse. Republicans going back to Lee Atwater…

When The Time Comes To Give The American MSM Its Report Card For Reporting On Donald Trump – They’re Going To Fail – MISERABLY
Living inside a slow motion train wreck is wearing us out. We can see the catastrophe we’re heading toward. We can see what’s driving us there. But we can’t seem to find where the brakes are — or how to put our foot on them. A big part of what makes the experience so agonizing…

It’s Time To Play “BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT”
Hi there, ladies ‘n germs — I’m your host Chuck Todd (excuse me while I roll my eyes thoughtfully as if I was physically capable of having thoughts) — — And welcome to another installment of “Benefit Of The Doubt — the game show where we give the benefit of the doubt to folks who…

Integrity’s An All Or Nothing Proposition – You Either Have It Or You Don’t
In the movie Princess Bride, Wallace Sean’s Vizzini, confounded by their inability to outrun Cary Elwes’ Westley, repeats the word “inconceivable” with increasing consternation until, at one point, Mandy Patinkin’s Inago Montoya responds famously — We have the exact same problem with the whole concept of INTEGRITY — never mind the word. A Democratic system…

Some Things Just Need To Be Said: Republicans Are A Cancer
I could go on and on and on and on. Pictures speak more eloquently more quickly. This is what cancer looks like… And this… And, as one should do with a cancer, we need to chop the Republicans from our body politic. Before they kill us.
