It Really Is This Simple: By LAW, You Cannot CHEAT To Become POTUS; Therefore Donald Trump Has NEVER Been POTUS
Now, that’s just The Rule Of Law talking and what does The Rule Of Law know? That’s how Republicans think these days apparently. To be absolutely fair about it, they’re right. The Rule Of Law is a fiction that we invented for our mutual benefit. There are lots of places on Earth where the people…

If Russian Efforts Changed ONE Vote, They Changed The WHOLE Election
That is a literal Truth. Think about it. If Russia changed ONE vote — caused an African American voter in Wisconsin, say, from showing up at the polls on election day 2016 because weaponized Facebook ads (based on stolen voter data) propagandized them into believing HRC was racist — and if the Trump Campaign KNEW…

Either Every Vote Counts Or No Votes Count
We need to make up our goddamned minds about voting. Personally, I believe that literally EVERY VOTE counts. In election 2018, according to the Washington Post, in 133 races out of the 4,137 run that election cycle, the winner’s margin of victory was under 100 votes. That’s 3.2% of all races. That would mean that…

Donald Trump Isn’t Just “Worse Than Watergate”, He’s Watergate’s “Unfinished Business”
On the one hand, Watergate was merely a cover up of a second rate burglary, the cover up being the crime that brought Nixon down. But, on the other, Watergate was also a prosecution of the political culture that made the second rate burglary a viable political option – committing an actual crime to undermine…

Dear America: We Are Living Through World War III And Don’t Even Know It
Anyone who thinks it takes bombs and bullets to win a war will lose every single war they ever wage going forward. Right now, that would be us — still thinking that Donald Trump is anything other than a literal weapon, fully loaded and pointed directly at our heads. If Russia wanted to (hell, a…

Yesterday’s Twist – Trump’s Deutsche Bank Loan Docs Were All Co-Signed By Russians – Makes a “President Pelosi” entirely possible.
A lot of us have eaten through our stomach linings waiting for Nancy Pelosi to come onboard with impeachment. On the one hand, how many times does Donald Trump have to violate his oath of office to warrant being held accountable for it? On the other, this is virgin territory: a traitor president beholden to…

Dear America — It Doesn’t Matter Whether We Know It Or Not — WE’RE AT WAR
We all know the story of December 7, 1941. At around 7:15 a.m. the Japanese Imperial Fleet attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just like that — America was “at war”. But, the Japanese had set their war machine in motion years before — designing it for just such a scenario. In…

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…

Living Inside A False Narrative Is Stupid… So Why Do We Persist In Doing It?
A woman who doesn’t know the man she loves is cheating on her lives inside a false narrative — that her relationship is on solid ground. A man unaware that a tumor is metastasizing inside of him is living a false narrative that he’s healthy and not doomed. As they slept in their beds at…
