The Rule Of Law Doesn’t Really Exist – We Made It Up. If We Want It “To Be”, We Have To MAKE IT “Be”
Americans take so much for granted. I know I took for granted that I lived in a representative democracy where everyone played by the same rules. Unfortunately, Republicans don’t take our system of government for granted — they want to destroy it. Some Democrats — and most of the news media — take Republicans completely…

Dear Republicans: Once Destroyed, Integrity Cannot Grow Back; Your Integrity Is History
Ever meet anyone with 99% of their integrity intact? You can pretty much trust them — but not quite… there’s a point beyond which you know you can’t trust them — usually when things get serious and being able to trust someone is imperative. That’s the Republican Party. Except they have way, way less than…

Republicans Defend Themselves The Way Bullies Do; It’s Not A Coincidence
Listening to Trump or Moscow Mitch McConnell bray about how Democrats should have talked to their witnesses first before even thinking of sending Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for prosecution — tripe repeated via tweet by Donald Trump — one has to remember: the whole reason Democrats HAVEN’T talked to all those witnesses is…

When They Ask “What’d You Do In The Cyber War, Daddy?” What Will Republicans Say Except “I Betrayed America”?
What else is there to say, really?

Dear American News Media: Why Do You Always Mark Republicans On A Curve?
Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign took a hit when she was cornered into showing receipts for how she would pay for getting every American health CARE. The grinding irony — this is never a question Republican candidates ever have to grapple with. How we’re gonna pay for the next Republican tax cut is always obvious —…

Donald Trump Is The Poster Boy For The Banality Of Evil
Aside from all around assholery, Donald Trump is “good at” exactly nothing. If not for Tony Schwartz’s skill as a writer, we wouldn’t see any art whatsoever in Trump’s dealings. We’d see corruption and criminality. If not for Mark Burnett inventing the character of Trump, Master Deal Maker — I doubt even Russia could have…

What Did YOU Do In The CYBER War, Daddy?
Anyone who thinks it takes bombs and bullets to win a war is an idiot doomed to lose every war he ever fights going forward. Please — let’s not that idiot. Call it asymetrical war, call it cyber war. Call it anything you like. Russia is waging it against us regardless of what we call…

“Better The Shit Than This!” What Lina Wertmuller’s “Seven Beauties” Teaches Us About Integrity
The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced yesterday that they were awarding Italian filmmaker Lina Wertmuller an honorary Oscar. She deserves an Oscar for sure — but honorary? She deserves one for a body of great work. Wertmuller’s best known features (here in America) include “The Seduction of Mimi”, “Swept Away”, “Love &…

Republican Jesus Wasn’t “Born” Rotten, He EVOLVED That Way…
People in the media ask a lot these days — how can evangelicals stand with Donald Trump, the most corrupt, most immoral, least Jesus-like person to ever walk the planet? It’s simple. Evangelicals & Fundamentalists don’t believe in “Jesus The Teacher”, they believe in “Jesus The Mascot”. Jesus the Maestro of Merch. Doing unto others…

“Get over it” Is How Republicans Intend To Finish What They Started
Make no mistake – what the Republican Party pulled off election day 2016 was nothing less than a soft coup d’état. Recognizing that the nation’s demographics spelled certain political marginalization and doom, Republicans sought to impose permanent minority rule on America first by hijacking the judiciary (a mission Moscow Mitch McTreason started back when Obama…
