Spread the word. Due to the crippling of the Post Office, other blatant attempts of voter suppression, and (of course) the pandemic, voting has gotten more confusing and complicated. But the vote has never been more important. Luckily, there is help. Two websites, vote.org and represent.us, provide state-by-state information on how to vote so that […]
This hilarious video comes from Stephen Colbert: Can you tell who everyone is (both Avenger and Democratic leader)?
Congresswoman Barbara Jordan‘s speech at the 1976 Democratic National Convention. She was the first Black and the first woman to deliver a keynote address. Coincidentally, she was my Congresswoman; I first saw her when she gave a talk at my high school. If she had not been stricken by debilitating illnesses, perhaps she would have […]
The final report of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Russian interference in the 2016 election has been released. Even the public redacted version “confirms that Donald Trump and his campaign operatives solicited, welcomed and benefited from Russian assistance.” “The report also details extensive evidence of contacts between Trump campaign operatives and people tied to the […]
On Sunday, the Washington Post published an op-ed from retired navy admiral William McRaven titled “Trump is actively working to undermine the Postal Service — and every major U.S. institution“. It starts with a classic (and funny) bit of irony: In the 1997 film “The Postman,” set in post-apocalyptic America, Kevin Costner plays a drifter […]
A new ad from the Republican Voters Against Trump features the former Chief of Staff for Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS). He published an even more damning article in the Washington Post today. He says that Trump turned DHS “into a tool used for his political benefit.” In particular there was “a near-total […]
Donald Trump’s attempt to throw the election by destroying the US Post Office is already backfiring. Here are articles from a number of key swing states: Arizona Republic: “Postal Service warns 46 states about ballot delays” Miami Herald: “USPS warns Florida some of its mail ballots could be rejected” Tampa Bay Times: “Mail-in votes are […]
Donald Trump has nothing left to run his campaign on, except fear and hatred. As they say, will he be able to fool America twice? If he does, then shame on us. The New York Times points out the dystopian nature of our current administration: President Trump, of course, long ago redefined what constitutes normal […]
I assume that only people who have been avoiding the news don’t know that the Republicans are trying to throw the election by screwing with the US Postal Service. Trump has literally admitted it. Ironically, there are some good arguments that this blatant use of the federal bureaucracy for political gain will backfire on the […]
Donald Trump’s senior legal advisor made a dig at Kamala Harris, by saying that she sounded like Marge Simpson. Marge fired back.
What do Trump’s own staff say about him? And there are plenty more where those came from:
In only took a couple of days for Donald Trump to start spreading rumors that Kamala Harris does not meet the constitutional qualifications to be Vice President (and President for that matter). You know, like he did about Barack Obama during Obama’s presidency. He is so predictable. I guess in Trump’s deranged racist brain, if […]
The Atlantic has an interesting (and somewhat depressing) article pointing out that it is likely that COVID-19 will be with us for a long time, or even indefinitely. That would make it similar to the flu, which comes back pretty much every year, and we are able to deal with it. The title is “The […]
There are two good articles out recently, detailing exactly how Donald Trump screwed up the response to the Coronavirus, and his staff enabled him. You may think you already know all about that, but it is interesting to see it all laid out for you. In Slate, “The Trump Pandemic, A blow-by-blow account of how […]
A cute song from Randy Rainbow: I know this has been around for over a month, but I just found out about it. And it is never too late to start wearing a mask! He has done plenty more of these song parodies.
