Fawning over Trump

Axios reports that some House Republicans, including Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, a member of GOP leadership, introduced a bill to rename Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) to the “Donald J. Trump International Airport”. This would mean that both D.C. airports would sport names of former Republican presidents (the smaller airport – DCA – is named after […]

The Supreme Court is Unconstitutional!

Stephen Colbert makes fun of the fact the Supreme Court can’t decide if Trump can’t just ignore any law he doesn’t like. So they are just going to drag their heels until the problem just magically goes away.

Supreme Grift

John Oliver pulls off a magnificent episode about rampant grift by the Supreme Court, with a special emphasis on Clarence Thomas. And don’t miss the end of the show!

Delinquent!

Donald Trump has now repeated publicly that if a NATO country is delinquent on its dues, that he would not only refuse to aid that country, but would allow (and even encourage) Russia to do whatever they want with that country. I just want to point out that Trump is notorious for stiffing people who […]

The GOP is Swift-boating themselves

The MAGA-sphere is having a full-on meltdown hissy fit about Taylor Swift, who had the audacity to encourage young people to vote. How Dare She!!! I would write more about this, but Brian Tyler Cohen does an excellent job in his thorough video “Taylor Swift sends Fox hosts into Meltdown”. It is less than 10 […]

Calling Trump’s Bluff

Republicans demanded changes to US border policies before they would pass any aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Which is crazy, since the two things aren’t related. In fact, Senate Minority Leader Match McConnell (R-KY) only reluctantly tied the two because of House right-wing radicals. I guess Donald Trump couldn’t imagine our gridlocked Congress would […]

Insurrection!

I actually believe that Donald Trump is guilty of absolutely obvious insurrection, and is not eligible to hold the office of president. The evidence is overwhelming. Anyone who says “it isn’t illegal if the president does it” is full of shit. Is there anyone sane who doesn’t know that Trump tried repeatedly to overthrow the […]

The Law

It looks like The House will finally vote to expel “George Santos” from Congress, despite the fact that it is likely that he will be replaced by a Democrat. But that just shows Republican hypocrisy, as they still solidly support Donald Trump as President, despite Trump’s insurrection, lies, fraud, and other crimes. The reason they […]

The Second Amendment

Yes, the right wing, the same people who claim that the Second Amendment guarantees the absolute right to bear arms, now want to lock up Hunter Biden because he purchased a gun (which he never used) when he was taking illegal drugs. What I want to know is how many gun-owning right-wing-nuts have ever used […]

I Know You Are, But What am I?

The Wall Street Journal has an article that doesn’t bode well for our democracy: Many Republicans refuse to acknowledge Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, saying they have lost faith in the electoral system. They also have doubts that 2024 will deliver a legitimate winner, while Democrats worry that Republicans will contest an outcome that doesn’t go […]

Bret Baier Skewers Trump a new Asshole

Bret Baier – on Fox News no less – points out that most of the “best people” who Donald Trump claimed he hired, have now come out against him, and he has himself attacked them as bad people. In addition, by the end of his term, eleven of his closest associates (Steve Bannon, Tom Barrack, […]

It’s all about the Grift!

Usually, when you see that word, you think about Donald Trump, but not this week! The grifter supreme right now is Clarence Thomas. Thomas was young and inexperienced when he was nominated to the Supreme Court by George H. W. Bush, having spent only one year as a judge. He was confirmed, despite attorney Anita […]

The Two Americas

Donald Trump is claiming that the investigations into his crimes are a “witch hunt” against a presidential candidate. But his followers don’t seem to see the gross hypocrisy of their (and Trump’s) calls in 2016 to throw Hillary Clinton in jail. But even worse, Trump seems to be claiming that a president, even after he […]

Tuckered Out

I have nothing to add to this cartoon: Why does anyone believe anything Tucker Carlson says? Not to mention the other “entertainers” on Fox News.

Short Attention Span Economics

In 2008, the dot.com meltdown cratered a bunch of tech companies. In response, Obama got Dodd-Frank passed, to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. Then Donald Trump got elected, and he repealed almost all of Dodd-Frank. Now, the same thing that happened in 2008 happened again. If Dodd-Frank were still law, the Silicon Valley Bank […]
