How WOULD America Act If Trump COULD Finish His Authoritarian Coup D’Etat?
We are living through the most jaw-dropping story no writer could possibly write (and get away with). But the rules of storytelling still apply — because storytelling rules are based on how human beings behave. When storytellers get human beings wrong? The people listening to their stories bail. The stories no longer make sense because…

The Rule Of Law Didn’t Let Us Down, We Let IT Down
Laws don’t enforce themselves. People have to do that for them. If people don’t enforce the rules they created for themselves, they shouldn’t be surprised when the rules stop being followed. The Great Experiment that is the United States is its reliance upon law — not an individual ruler’s whims — as the basis for…

The Majority Of Us Did Not Vote For Trump Or What He’s Doing. So, How Come He’s Doing It Anyway?
It’s strange to live in a democracy (well, a democratic republic) where the majority does not get its way. Apparently by design. It’s kind of hard for a democracy to continue being a democracy when too few of its citizens take part in the very process that makes a democracy work: voting. The whole point…

Donald Trump Cheated To Become POTUS — Here’s How He Did It
It’s entirely possible that Donald Trump has lived his entire life without ever winning anything either fairly or squarely. That includes the presidency. I wonder if that’s why he keeps projecting his illegitimacy. We knew as the results came in election night 2016 that something wasn’t right. Yeah, losing always sucks. But election night 2016…

It’s This Simple: Every Single Judge Trump Nominated MUST Be Voided (SCOTUS Included): The Rule Of Law DEMANDS IT
The Rule Of Law is coming back — one way or another. The storyteller in me can’t see a storyline where an extreme (and extremist) minority party like the Republicans forces a state of permanent minority rule on America (and — most importantly — AMERICANS) and gets away with it. We’re way too independent for…

Of Course Trump’s Not Prepared To Deal With Coronavirus — He Never Planned To Be President!
Donald Trump & his Republican co-conspirators remind us every day: elections have consequences; stolen elections have even worse ones. Donald Trump is not now nor has he ever been the legitimate POTUS. Painful as it may be, let’s revisit election night 2016. What made a shocking night all the more perplexing was that even Trump…

But, At The End Of The Day — It’s STILL A Damned Coup D’Etat!
Today is slated to be one of the very worst in American History. Today, the corrupt-to-its marrow Republican-controlled Senate will acquit the most corrupt POTUS in American History of charges he’s corrupting this year’s election. Think about that. We stand poised at a Treason Trifecta — A treasonous president, a treasonous Senate and a judiciary…

Life In Trump’s America: The Political Thriller Of Our Lifetimes Is Also Theater Of The Absurd
Our inner animals knew it instinctively even as the tide was turning election night 2016. We were being told something that every fiber of our being knew was untrue — or knew was truth complicated by layers of deception, deceit and treachery — that Trump had “won” the presidency. Ever read the details on exactly…
