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. This should have been a no-brainer for the Supremes. A simple “no thanks” would have sufficed. Instead, at least four of the sitting “Justices” gave Trump one more day in court…

Fifth Column Traitors And Republicans
That headline could just as easily read “Republicans Are Fifth Column Traitors“. Same difference. A traitor is a traitor is a traitor. 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…

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…

Trump’s Two Supreme Court Cases Are Connected
In the next week, ex-president and lifetime criminal Donald Trump will have two huge cases before the Supreme Court. The weird thing is, they’re connected in essential ways. The even weirder thing? Our inept news media hasn’t seen or made the connections. But the two cases ARE connected – and the fact that no one’s…

Here’s Why Democracy Is Going To Win In America
I’ll own it. I’m hopelessly optimistic; about some things; and America is one of them. Our outlook seems bleak right now. Hell, our outlook is bleak. That’s because the forces opposed to American democracy have put all their cards on the table. We are living through their Hail Mary, last ditch chuck toward the end…

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.…
