Last night was the first night that the federal agents sent to Portland by Donald Trump were removed from the job. Instead, the governor of Oregon had state police guard federal property, with orders to de-escalate tensions. And it worked! My favorite headline is “Portland sees peaceful night of protests following withdrawal of federal agents”. […]
If this doesn’t convince you, then may you catch fire and burn.
On April 23, Joe Biden said: Mark my words, I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held. The Trump campaign immediately responded: Those are the incoherent, conspiracy theory ramblings of a lost candidate who is out of touch with reality. Today, […]
Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain attended Donald Trump’s ill-advised campaign rally in Tulsa Oklahoma. He did not wear a face mask. Ten days later, on June 29, he tested positive for the coronavirus. Today, after a month-long battle with COVID-19, Cain died. May he rest in peace.
Bill Barr, who is supposedly the US Attorney General but acts like Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer, testified under oath to Congress on Tuesday. Here’s a list of lies and stupid things he said: Could not answer whether the President has the power to move the date of the election (he doesn’t) Wouldn’t acknowledge […]
Not if we know his strategy and fight it. How do we know he is going to follow this strategy? Because he is already following it. In fact, he seems incapable of even imagining any other strategy.
Trump is a bully, but when you stand up to him, he backs down like the loser he is. Just this week, he’s retreated several times: He insisted that Congress cut payroll taxes, but his own party members in the Senate said no. Probably because Trump would have benefited more from such a tax cut […]
Relive election night from 2016. If you dare. Could it happen again? NY Magazine seems to think not. But personally, I don’t want to take any chances. Besides, the only way to stamp out Trumpism is to defeat him and his enablers in a landslide so huge we won’t have to endure such a monstrous […]
The Trump campaign is running this ad on Facebook: The image on the right is labeled “Chaos & Violence”, meant to invoke the protests against police brutality that have been going on around the US. As I like to say, there’s just one problem. That photo is not from the US. It is a photo […]
This comic made me laugh: Ironically, there is another connection from this comic to politics. The song (Don’t stand so close to me) is definitely apropos to the ongoing sex scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, both of whom have connections to Donald Trump. Maxwell recruited girls (especially underage ones) for Epstein to sexually […]
Stephen Colbert’s “Tooning Out the News” interviewed Rick Wilson from the Lincoln Project, makers of viral anti-Trump ads. I have to admit that as I watched this, I was alternately laughing, cringing, and shaking my head in disgust. So what do you think? Is the Lincoln Project made up of good guys who are saving […]
White House adviser (and white nationalist) Stephen Miller’s grandmother has died from the coronavirus this month. Miller’s uncle (son of the grandmother) said that the Trump administration is partly responsible for her death because of their incompetent handling of the pandemic. In response, the White House issued a statement denying that Miller’s grandmother died from […]
On Wednesday, trying to justify his sending federal agents into multiple cities, Donald Trump said the following: No mother should ever have to cradle her dead child in her arms simply because politicians refused to do what is necessary to secure their neighborhood and to secure their city. Trump seems unaware that the whole point […]
This is a powerful video from the Washington Post: Speaking of what is going on in Oregon, does anyone remember when Ammon Bundy (son of rancher Cliven Bundy) led a takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Eastern Oregon? That was a bunch of armed men taking over and destroying federal property illegally, which […]
From a must-read article in The Atlantic: For decades, conservative activists and leaders have warned that “jackbooted thugs” from the federal government were going to come to take away Americans’ civil rights with no due process and no recourse. Now they’re here—but they’re deployed by a staunchly right-wing president with strong conservative support. While Republicans […]
