Referee

Donald Trump agreed to a set of rules for a debate, but then just ignored them. He not only lies, he breaks his promises. The debates don’t need a moderator, they need a referee. The only thing missing from this comic is a penalty box for Trump that is both soundproof and blocks the internet […]

Vote… Him… Out…

Yet another killer ad from the Lincoln Project, featuring Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. UPDATE: Extra bonus Lincoln Project ad, based on last night’s shit-storm of a debate. Trump interrupted Biden, saying “Don’t ever use the word ‘smart” with me.” Well, ok.

Lockdowns for Liberty

I’ve said this before, and many times, but it bears repeating. Especially with new direct evidence. Strict lockdowns are the best (if not the only) way to beat Covid-19. Especially if done early. The earlier it is done, and the more severe the lockdown, the easier it is on people. I know this sounds counterintuitive, […]

Loser!

I’ve waded through the entire (very long) NY Times article about Trump’s taxes, but I have to say that Heather Cox Richardson has a much better summary of it. Here’s one paragraph from it: This, of course, means that Trump is a huge national security risk. He owes money—to whom we don’t know—and he does […]

Trump Supporters

I post this solely for its humor.

Good News for Travel

A little over a week ago I read about a new Covid-19 test that can provide good results in as little as 15 minutes. It is also less expensive because it does not require being sent to a lab, although it does require someone with training to administer (it is not expected that people can […]

On the Other Hand

Today’s edition of Electoral-Vote starts off by talking about Donald Trump’s attempts to steal the election (as talked about in my post yesterday). But then they ask “But will it work?“. And EV thinks that there are good reasons why Trump’s plans will fail. I sure hope so, but I’m not as sure as they […]

Stealing an Election

Here are parts of last night’s post from Heather Cox Richardson. You should read the whole thing. This is important news that is being overshadowed by the fight over nominating and confirming a replacement for RBG. Today Americans were roiled by an article in The Atlantic, detailing the method by which the Trump campaign is planning […]

Don’t Mess with Mother Nature

This video is an oldie but goodie, and bears repeating.

Hypocrisy Incarnate

Not a single spine among the lot of them.

Lincoln Project on RBG

A remarkably sweet ad from the Lincoln Project celebrating the life of RBG.

Dumb Down

This is hilarious:

Gross

Ok, this is pretty gross, but fascinating and oh so apropos. It is a portrait of Donald Trump, made entirely from pig entrails. And apparently they used a pig’s anus for the mouth.

RIP RBG

Thing that I expect will happen: Evangelicals will claim that God killed Ruth Bader Ginsburg so that Republicans can appoint another arch conservative to the court. Mitch McConnell will ram someone through, despite the hypocrisy of sitting on Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland for most of a year. In fact, McConnell has already said […]

REPAIR

Last week, former DHS officials Miles Taylor and Elizabeth Neumann formed the REpublican Political Alliance for Integrity and Reform (REPAIR), consisting of current and former Trump officials who oppose his reelection. We already knew that Biden leads Trump in the key demographic of people who used to work for Trump, but it is interesting that […]
