Last weekend there was a boat parade in support of Donald Trump on Lake Travis near Austin, Texas. But high winds (and too many boats) caused havoc with many boats taking on water, engines stalling, and boats capsizing. Five of the boats sank entirely. Which led to the following faux campaign poster:
I know this article is a week old, but there were just too many things going on that pushed this down in my stack. But you really should read this article in The Atlantic titled “Why Trump Supporters Can’t Admit Who He Really Is“. When I’m talking to various liberal people, a common refrain is […]
Although equally tough to feel sorry for this pitiful senator.
The team that blew open Watergate, Carl Bernstein talks about Bob Woodward’s new book about Donald Trump, Rage. Woodward interviewed Trump 18 times and has recordings of Trump.
The Atlantic, which published the article about how Donald Trump calls soldiers in the military “losers” and “suckers”, has published a follow-up article by David Frum titled “Everyone Knows It’s True“. Frum points out that everyone who is claiming the original article is false is deeply beholden to Trump. While everyone who has actual knowledge […]
In fact, today the Trump administration did something that even flabbergasted me. The first two paragraphs say it all: The Justice Department on Tuesday intervened in the defamation lawsuit brought by a woman who says President Trump raped her years ago, moving the matter to federal court and signaling it wants to make the U.S. […]
Today I learned that Ted Cruz is a huge fan of The Princess Bride. He frequently quotes lines from the movie, and even occasionally has done impressions of characters from it. However, apparently the actors have turned up Cruz’s torture machine to 50 by holding a reunion. In order to see the livestream of the […]
Here are a series of articles about how Donald Trump, Republicans, and right-wing media are trying to destroy our democracy. First is tonight’s article by Heather Cox Richardson. She goes through a list of the things that democracy depends on, and then gives examples of how they are being attacked and even destroyed: The rule […]
Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III took to Twitter to condemn Donald Trump for his insults against American soldiers. Sully is the famous pilot who miraculously landed a failing airliner in the Hudson River in 2009, saving all on board. Here are his nine tweets, in order: I am a veteran. I volunteered for military service […]
Everyone has probably heard that Trump told Republicans in North Carolina to vote twice, once by absentee ballot and once in person. That’s actually a Class I felony in North Carolina. For any person with intent to commit a fraud to register or vote at more than one precinct or more than one time, or […]
I love the writing of Matt Taibbi, even if I don’t always agree with him. He has published a very interesting article on Substack, titled “The Trump Era Sucks and Needs to Be Over” (subtitled “The race is tightening. Is America sure it’s ready to give up its addiction to crazy?”). Note that new polls […]
I think a better example of this would be talking about the American Revolution and how Trump would have responded to it. Like calling the (real) Boston Tea Partiers “thugs and lowlifes who destroy property and deserve to be shot”. Or another example would be comparing how Ronald Reagan talked about the Nicaraguan Contras as […]
Do you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence? It’s you who have created the hate and division. — Ted Wheeler, the mayor of Portland, OR, quoted in The Atlantic. This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He […]
If you take the letters in “Republican National Convention” and rearrange them, you can spell “Con Vulnerable Nation into Panic”. Coincidence? I think not.
