Trump’s Criminality Isn’t Up For Debate Anymore; Now The MSM Needs To Connect The NEXT Dot – REPUBLICAN Criminality
By the time Adam Schiff gavelled the House Intel Committee’s business closed yesterday, the case he and the Democrats were making was well past being made. Never mind what any Republican says about acts being bad (maybe) but still not impeachable. Divorced from politics, the information we’ve learned during the past two weeks — much…

The MSM’s Need For “PIZZAZZ” Is What’s Screwing Up American Journalism
I bet NBC News’ Jonathan Allen wishes he could have that one back — the piece he posted on NBC News’ site that panned Day One of the Impeachment hearings because they lacked “pizzazz”. The firestorm’s been pretty relentless, boring in hard on that one word: “pizzazz”. To Allen’s credit, he encapsulated the American news…

The More Perspective One Has, The More Criminal Trump & The GOP Look
I suppose if you suddenly sprang into being right next to Donald Trump — so his essence, his aura, his version of the world was all that you knew — HIS version of the world might seem possible. But step outside the treasonous bubble of Trumpism — and a 2 X 4 of realism goes…

What If The Truth Is We CAN’T Handle “The Truth”?
A core question we each have to wrestle with: what’s our personal relationship with “The Truth”? You know what I mean — the TRUTH: the stuff we know about ourselves (being ourselves) that no one else could ever know or will ever know. The stone, cold TRUTH we all know down deep. Who we really…

Dear MSM — No, It ISN’T About POLITICS
The most insidious form of “Both Sides Do It” journalism is its insistence that, no matter what, it’s always about politics. Democrats objecting to Republicans suppressing Democratic votes (they never do seem to suppress votes evenly between Republican voters and Democratic voters) is — in this view — political rather than legal. Those stolen votes…

Dear TV Pundits: Donald Trump Doesn’t Stop Being A TRAITOR Just Cos He Takes In A Ballgame
So, you’re watching the cable TV news. The on-air team smell blood in the water. Hard evidence keeps mounting that whatever drawer you put the Mueller Report into, Trump’s behavior toward Ukraine is impeachable on steroids. The really astute talking heads — the Malcolm Nances, the Natasha Bertrands, the Nancy Wheeler’s, the Lawrence Tribes, the…

The Trump Presidency Is A Clinic On WHY We ALL Should Want To Live Bullshit Free
Donald Trump and his presidency have unleashed a golden age of bullshit upon the land. We know for a fact that if Donald Trump — or anyone supporting him — opens their mouth, what follows will almost certainly be a total lie. After 3+ years of living inside this nonstop maelstrom of nonsense and fuckery,…

Here’s What Happens When We “Pull Back The Lens” — And We NEED To Pull It Back NOW…
Lack of perspective kills. A swimmer who sees only the immediate water around them – lovely and turquoise – but not the school of hungry sharks circling that lovely bit of turquoise? That swimmer is chum. Religionistas will insist that their deity wants them to live according to the rules set down by ignorant (by…

Unchallenged Lies Become Truth – That’s Why EVERY TRUMPIAN LIE Has To be Called Out
No revelation here: It is way, WAY easier to sell Americans bullshit than it is to take that bullshit away from them once they’ve acquired a taste for it. H L Mencken got it right: no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence or taste of the American public. Maybe our problem is Americans (conservative…

Dear MSM: Donald Trump Doesn’t Stop Being A Traitor Just Because You Aren’t Telling THAT Story About Him
It’s bad enough what Donald Trump is doing to the country, the Constitution and the American People. It’s compounded daily by the MSM’s inability to get ahead of this story. Or grasp it at all. Not only do they report it from behind, they report it from well behind. They’re the clean up crew scraping…
