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.…

Of Chaos Theory & Corner Kicks (And American Politics)
We all knew LIfe in the Age Of Trump was going to be challenging on a thousand different levels. I’m not sure we factored in the constant state of chaos Trumpism thrives on. That, it turns out, is what makes all the other challenges work — it’s almost impossible to attack any one of them…

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.

We fought a Civil War over that fact — before Andrew Johnson’s small-minded, racist actions prevented the Reconstruction that might have salved slavery’s wounds just enough to let us move forward productively. Wrongs that go unrighted will not…

The Rule Of Law Matters — Unless You’re A Republican – Or In The Main Stream Media
Not A Revelation — The story we’re all living through (the extended Republican-Russian coup d’etat dressed up as a bad reality series) is light years beyond what our befuddled Main Stream News Media can handle. “Both Sides Do It” journalism has so distorted their perspective that they don’t see the threat to their own existence…

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…

The More Perspective One Has, The More Criminal Trump & The GOP Look
I suppose if you suddenly sprang into being right next to Donald Trump — so his essence, his aura, his version of the world was all that you knew — HIS version of the world might seem possible. But step outside the treasonous bubble of Trumpism — and a 2 X 4 of realism goes…
