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…

Trump Corrupts EVERYTHING – The News Media Included
Here’s a stone cold fact: Donald Trump CORRUPTS everything he touches. E V E R Y T H I N G . That includes the news media. Now, the American press entered the Trumpian part of our history already corrupted by the conceit that “both sides do it”. “Both sides do it” is corporate journalism’s…

The News Media Chose “But Her Emails” Over “He’s F*cked”

In Yiddish, according to Leo Rosten in his essential The Joys Of Yiddish, “schmuck” can mean three things: a penis, a fool or a son of a bitch. Looking around at the various problems pushing humanity to the precipice, I see plenty of penises, fools and SOBs. Plenty of schmucks. Hell, they’ve surrounded us as…

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…
