If We Don’t Severely Punish The People Responsible For Our Coronavirus Catastrophe, It Absolutely Will Happen Again
Donald J Trump is the poster boy for what happens when you let a third-rate bully from Queens get away with things all his life. It’s also what happens when Republicanism — a particularly American brand of ignorant greed — gets to ride its core principles all the way to full fruition. Trumpism is Republicanism…

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…

Do Americans Love False Narratives More Than They Love Democracy?
We’ve all had a friend — maybe it’s been us — who loved the wrong person too much. Everyone else but that friend could see from every angle how disastrous their love was and was going to be. But that friend persisted. They had created a false narrative inside their heads that love — theirs…

If The Question Is “But, What Can We DO To Stop Trump?”, The Answer Is “Let’s Start By Agreeing: Donald Trump Was NEVER The “LEGITIMATE POTUS”
A schoolyard bully who steals your lunch money and claims it was always his, is wrong. Not just morally but factually. The lunch money was never his. Same token — a person who cheats on their bar exam or pilot’s license isn’t actually a lawyer or a pilot. They never actually qualified for it and…

The Case For We The People & “The Preponderance Of The Evidence”…
I’m throwing down a radical notion here — a way for We The People to get back what was STOLEN from us — the outcome of Election 2016 that we voted for. If the Rule Of Law is a “thing” then Donald Trump cannot be POTUS — not the legitimate POTUS. The Rule Of Law…

Why Does Our MSM STILL Tolerate Being Lied To By Republicans? Because They Still Think “Both Sides Do It”…
Among the false narratives we have to negotiate daily — the rubbish that we start with any sort of “level playing field”. Bullshit. Keep in mind — we’ve already normalized “Mexicans are rapists” and “pussy-grabbing”. We’ve got it in our heads now that you can say what should be career-ending hate like that and “get…

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…

By Their Very Nature, RW-ers Are Closed-Minded & Progressives Are Open-Minded
“Both Sides Do It” thinking (and journalism) would want us to believe that that headline is biased and wrong because both sides are equally closed-minded and open-minded. The fact is both sides are different not just because they want to be different but because they actually think differently. There’s even science to back that up…
