If you take the letters in “Republican National Convention” and rearrange them, you can spell “Con Vulnerable Nation into Panic”. Coincidence? I think not.

Heather Cox Richard has the best article about the RNC I’ve seen. I’m including it here because I want everyone to actually read the whole thing. Enjoy! Having moved the RNC from Charlotte, North Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida, and then having been forced to cancel his plans for a huge rally due to coronavirus, Trump […]
Donald Trump lies. A lot. That has been going on for a long time. However, Trump is now approaching a new state of negative enlightenment where he virtually never says anything that is actually true. An article in the Washington Post lists every significant claim that Trump made last night about Joe Biden, and fact […]

I haven’t been watching Stephen Colbert as much as I used to, as he seems to have lost some of his biting wit when he lost his live audience due to the pandemic. But last night’s monologue hit the ball out of the court. Colbert is angry, and he goes on a 15-minute rant that […]

D-liver D-letter, D-sooner D-better!
Donald Trump recently said that if he gets reelected, he would terminate the payroll tax. There’s just one tiny little problems. It is the payroll tax that funds both Social Security and Medicare. Today, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration said that if the payroll tax is terminated and Trump doesn’t find another […]
This might just work. And it will put all those old racist statues and monuments to a good use.
The Republican Party has announced that it will have no platform. The announcement looks like something Donald Trump would write. It is one page of bullet points (but without bullets). It tries to blame everything on the media and “the failed policies of the Obama-Biden administration” (so much for being a “positive” convention). Bottom line: […]
Republicans on Fox News are downplaying Biden’s speech, saying that any idiot can read a speech off a teleprompter. I guess Donald Trump doesn’t qualify as even an idiot. Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump (who is a “senior advisor” in the administration) told NBC News that the president will be part of the GOP convention “every […]

Joe Biden’s convention keynote speech impressed everyone, even pundits who oppose him. Yes, that even includes Fox News hosts. Chris Wallace said “it was an enormously effective speech”). Dana Perino was even more effusive, saying “[Biden] just hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth”. Even Laura Ingraham — one of Trump’s strongest […]
Another meme. Even if this isn’t a real T-shirt, it is still funny.
What’s a MAGA to Do? Meanwhile, Republicans continue to stoke fears about voter fraud, especially for mail-in voting. Minimum presidential qualification:

I love this segment from Trevor Noah, pointing out the hypocrisy of conservative blowhards who question whether Kamala Harris is “black enough”.
