Buttigieg

Pete Buttigieg is Joe Biden’s pick for Secretary of Transportation. Which spawned the following joke circulating around the innertubes: Buttigieg came out of the closet only to be put in the cabinet.

Fired

Monday, the electoral college voted and Joe Biden got the most votes. I’m sure the big bad Trump will huff and puff and try to blow the house down, but to no avail. He’s fired.

Taking Propaganda to the Next Level

Saturday Night Live displayed a brilliant analogy of just how out of whack our news media has become. What if the right wing media treated sports news the same way it treats political news. The analogy is apt, because sports fans can show the same kind of fervor as Trump’s base.

Corona Christmas

Funny skit from SNL. The cold open is pretty funny, too. Kate McKinnon is almost unrecognizable as Dr. Fauci.

The Hypocrisy of Fox News

This video shows how Fox News responds to two different protests, and they couldn’t have been any more hypocritical. First are the Staten Island Protests, which were protesting a bar that was shut down for defying both city and state Covid-19 closure orders. Deputies attempted to arrest the owner for serving patrons in violation of […]

Party before Country

Republicans seem hellbent on destroying not just our democracy, but also our country. Why? So they can blame it on the Democrats. They have given up on their claims of fraud in the presidential election, and now they have resorting to just trying to overturn the election. They will fail at this, but it is […]

Fiddling While America Burns

Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized yesterday with the coronavirus. Now there is nobody left in Donald Trump’s orbit to claim that the election was stolen. Well, nobody but Trump himself. So Trump will go down like the worst losers do, alone and raving, deserted by allies and maybe even family.

The U.S. of Eh?

Having lived in Canada, I find this even more hilarious: If you don’t think they are serious, read this.

Responding to the Worst Responder

I really hope the Dems are able to pull off a miracle and elect two senators from the previously red state of Georgia. The main reason for this is because we desperately need to get rid of Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader. The Majority Leader gets to decide, unilaterally, which business comes up for […]

Deficit Hawks

Once again we see the pattern of Republicans spending like drunken sailors when they are in power, and then becoming deficit hawks when they lose power. During the George W Bush administration, VP Dick Cheney famously said “Reagan proved deficits don’t matter.” Cheney was talking about the midterm elections, which the GOP had won. Despite […]

Vaccine Line

The NY Times has posted a simple interactive tool “Find Your Place in the Vaccine Line” that will give you an idea of how soon you might be able to receive a vaccine for Covid-19.

Donald Trump Library

If you haven’t seen this yet, here is a beautiful (and hilarious) mockup of the Donald Trump presidential library.

Moving On

Donald Trump actually said that if the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden, then he will certainly leave the presidency. For some strange reason, he did it from behind a rather tiny desk. Maybe White House staffers are secretly replacing his desk with a slightly smaller one each day, to nudge him out.
