Donald Trump is famous for his wall, almost none of which he has built, but now mothers in Portland, Oregon have succeeded in building a better wall. In response to Trump sending in federal officers into Portland under the weak excuse that they are protecting federal property (like statues and other monuments), the city’s mothers […]
Another ad from The Lincoln Project: I’m not sure, but this ad seems to have a somewhat different style than previous ads. I’m guessing that this might be the first ad since Ben Howe was let go from the project because of sexist remarks he made.
Heather Cox Richardson has an excellent post about John Lewis. Here are two paragraphs from it, to entice you to read the whole thing: Tonight, just before midnight, we heard the news that 80-year-old Georgia Representative John Lewis has passed away from pancreatic cancer. An adherent of the philosophy of non-violence, Lewis was beaten by […]
I often tell people that I don’t hate Donald Trump. After all, he is who he is, and it is fairly obvious who he is. What tears at my heart are the people who enable him; who think he makes a good president. This includes the people who join his administration, ignoring the fact that […]
The Trump campaign has released a new political ad, “You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America”. There’s just one problem — the video is completely in the present tense. The voice-over uses present tense — as if Biden is already president — and the images and video of protests and violence are also from […]
The Lincoln Project has another very strong ad directly comparing Dr Anthony Fauci to Donald Trump. The Trump administration has started attacking Fauci, trying to discredit him because he often disagrees with (and occasionally contradicts) Trump, when Trump lies. In other words, Fauci is just doing his job, and doing it well. Trump can’t tolerate […]
This comic perfectly describes how I feel about the US. Heaven help us.
Do you ever wonder why the US has so many more Covid-19 cases and deaths than anywhere else in the world? Yes, DisneyWorld really did reopen last weekend, despite the fact that Florida now holds the record for most new cases in a single day, and right now has the most number of active cases […]
I don’t understand why some people claim that product boycotts are an attempt to silence free speech. After all, the Citizens United decision clearly established that money was free speech (especially it is money given to politicians for their campaigns!). So isn’t my choice of what products to buy also free speech? Which brings us […]
A thirty-year-old went to a “COVID party”, where someone who has tested positive for the disease gets together with people who want to know if the disease is a hoax, by seeing if it gets transmitted to them. It did. The thirty-year-old ended up in the hospital. Just before they died, they said to the […]
Like many people, I’m curious what the future will look like after we spend a few years fighting the novel coronavirus into some kind of submission. Andy Slavitt, who was the Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA head for president Obama, talked to three scientists and came away with the conclusion “There is a Light at the […]
Two weeks after Donald Trump held an in-person rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, COVID-19 cases are surging in that city. Since the rally, the number of new cases has more than tripled, setting new records highs. This, despite the fact that the rally fizzled, attended by less than a third of the capacity of the venue. […]
Another day, another killer ad from the Lincoln Project. This one goes after the GOP senators who were too chickenshit to say no to Donald Trump, and instead repeatedly kissed his rear and enabled the destruction of our country.
Donald Trump says that the cure must not be worse than the disease, and is trying very hard to jump-start the US economy by eliminating public health interventions, including reopening most retail businesses, eliminating quarantines, and (strangely enough) discouraging the wearing of masks. Now they are even trying to force schools to reopen in the […]
The NY Times got an early copy of the book by Mary Trump, Donald Trump’s only niece, titled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man”. They just published an article about it. The book answers a question that I’ve wondered about Donald Trump: how did he get into […]
