Conservatives Are All “C-Words”: Corrupt, Craven, Contemptible, Cowardly & Criminal
If the Trumpification of the Republican Party has proven one thing above all others, it’s this: conservatism – as a political philosophy – is a black hole of CRAVEN racist, misogynist, bigoted fear-based hate. Unable to win elections honestly, conservatives have sought instead to win elections by limiting the electorate to just their voters. And…

Taking Treason For Granted
It’s a stone cold fact: our news media now takes treason for granted. Just as true, they’ve been taking it for granted from even before Trump became POTUS. From the beginning, Trump has fawned over Vladimir Putin like a groupie fellating a rock star. Has anyone in main stream news media ever done a deep…

Crimes Against Democracy
Yesterday felt distinctly like a horror movie. The SCOTUS announcing they’d hear Donald Trump’s immunity gambit sent shock waves coursing through the news media.

The Hard Costs Of Being A “Trumpanista”
Our intrepid news media (my sarcasm font’s working, right?) still asks the bone-headed question “Why does Donald Trump have such a hold on the Republican Party?” They’re oblivious of the fact that they themselves exposed that truth eons ago. Way back at the start of this madness. If only they ever read their own copy.…

The GOP’s Integrity Problem: They Haven’t Got Any
We all enter this world buck naked – and with our integrity fully intact. Soon enough though, we’ll stop being naked. As for our integrity, that’s a whole other matter. What is integrity? It’s our word being our bond. Our trustworthiness. How reliable a friend, a lover, a teammate, a leader are we? Can others…
