Wednesday night, after the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, there were protests in at least two cities — Portland OR and Seattle WA — that turned violent. In Portland, protesters smashed doors and broke windows of the Democratic Party headquarters, set a small dumpster on fire, and sprayed graffiti on outside walls (including […]

The Lincoln Project just leaked the note that Donald Trump left for Joe Biden in the Oval Office.

I love it when the media does my job for me. Politico published a series of cartoons from the Trump years. For each major event, they had Matt Wuerker (a great comic artist in his own right) pick one Republican leaning cartoon and one Democratic cartoon. The whole series is worth looking at. But to […]

Joe Biden is now the President of the United States. There was no violence at the Capitol. In fact, there was no violence at any of the state capitols, despite warnings. I guess this is the way the insurrection ends, not with a bang but a whimper. Speaking of hollow things, QAnon seems to be […]

Can’t wait for him to be gone? Here’s a wonderful eviction clock. Actually, they have three versions: potty mouth, no profanity, and the Timothy version. Enjoy! Interestingly, a new Gallup poll shows the soon-to-be ex-president with the lowest approval rating since polling began. Another poll shows that a majority of Americans think that he is […]

Donald Trump will soon be gone, but not forgotten. Because the Museum of London has added the Trump Baby Blimp to its collection. The blimp will be added to the museum’s protest collection, which includes items from the women’s suffrage movement and anti-war protests. The blimp greeted Trump when he visited London in 2018.
Republicans, especially Lindsey Graham, think that the best thing we can do to heal the nation is to let Donald Trump get away with all of his crimes and lies. Methinks that is far more likely to encourage racism, division, and corruption. After all, Trump is still claiming that he actually won the election in […]
Alabama’s new GOP Senator Tommy Tuberville is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. As Groucho Marx said in Duck Soup, “He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don’t let that fool you. He really is an idiot.” According to the Alabama site AL.com: As a candidate, Tommy Tuberville was […]
When will it be ok to start breathing again? After the inauguration? After we’ve gone a week with Trump not appearing in the news? After the midterms?

Elon Musk tweeted this earlier, but I’m not totally sure if it is serious or meant to be a joke! I think you could probably make a case that without Facebook, none of this would have happened.

On Sunday I posted the video from former California governor (and movie Terminator) Arnold Schwartenegger. This video has totally gone viral. The tweet has more than 1.1 million likes, which is better than Trump has ever done. Actually, that’s not entirely true. Trump did have one tweet that did better, with 1.9 million likes. However, […]
I think everyone noticed that it is only bad to ransack a government building if you are not white. Or if you are white, then if you are a liberal. They left off explaining how you address a BLM protest — “Throw the thugs in jail for 10 years.” For a MAGA mob — “We […]
This is the most powerful speech I have heard about the events at the Capitol, from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The NY Times ran an opinion piece titled “Can Donald Trump Survive Without Twitter?” I think the question that may be even more important is “Can the Media survive without Donald Trump?” Trump’s constant sowing of division and outrage has been a bonanza for media. Not just “are they able to survive”, but also “are […]

Thank you, Randy Rainbow. I think I will be dancing around today singing “Lie-Lie-Lie-Lie!”.
