My Sexual Assault Survivor Spidey Senses Are Tingling Like Crazy: What The GOP Is Doing To America Is Exactly Like A Sexual Assault
No one really “recovers” from being sexually assaulted. You can live with it, of course. You can make a kind of uneasy peace with it. But you can never accept that it happened to you. The disease that comes with being sexually assaulted is believing that you deserved it. That’s what keeps you silent. In…

Our Constitutional Crisis (Yeah – We’re In One!) Didn’t Just Start – It Began The Moment Trump Took His Oath Of Office – And Violated It In The Very Same Breath
Lots of Chicken Little running around the media landscape have finally bought in — America’s in a Constitutional Crisis! Yeah, we are, Chicken Little. Where were you Inauguration Day? The Rule Of Law is or it isn’t. Same goes for the Constitution. Either we have one — and we follow it — or we don’t.…

Americans Need To Start Calling Things What They Really Are… Republicans, For Instance, Are “Traitors”
Remember back to the good ol’ days when news networks, grasping at their pearls, saved us from now-POTUS Donald Trump uttering the words “grab em by the pussy”? Heaven forbid an American news audience hear those words. An American news audience, the News Networks decided, could not possibly handle hearing what a candidate for POTUS…

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…

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…

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…

Abuse Of Power Is The Republican Brand & The Republican Brand Is Abuse Of Power
There’s no similar string of corruption on the Democratic Party’s side: Watergate… Iran-Contra… The Iraq War… Trump-Russia-Trump-Ukraine (it’s the same thing). It’s not because the Democrats aren’t “creative” enough. They’re plenty creative. They just spend most of THEIR creativity on improving the Commonweal, not raping & pilaging it like pirates at a free-for-all. Both sides…

Wine Review: Trump Wines Aren’t Bad — If You Like How Treason Tastes
When you put your name on something, you damned well better stand by it. I hope the Trumps are ready to stand by what’s in that bottle with their name on it. The Trump doesn’t so much have a “nose ” as an unpatriotic pong with acrid notes of corruption and nepotism. When swirled, the…

We Got Donald Trump All Wrong; As Horrible As We Thought He’d Be? He’s Way, WAY Worse
A lot of us anticipated the bad horror movie the Trump presidency would be. It wasn’t exactly rocket science. Trump was a fraud who was given the maximum benefit of the doubt by a press both in love with Trump’s fraudulent audacity and in fear of his retribution. Their inability to cover this story –…
