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 […]
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 […]
Once again, Republicans in Congress are too chickenshit to stand up to a delusional autocrat who is hell-bent on destroying their own party. Instead, they are resorting to threatening violence. Or when Trump was exposed for bullying the Georgia Secretary of State to “find” additional votes to throw the election, Senator David Perdue attacked the […]
Doesn’t the right-wing media have anything better to complain about? I mean, seriously? We are having a 9/11-level catastrophe every single day with the coronavirus, Trump and the Republicans are doing everything in their power to destroy our democracy, Congress is teetering on the brink of having a shutdown, Russians have hacked into our government’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
Backwards! Now that Alaska and Arizona have been called, and assuming that Georgia goes to Joe Biden, and North Carolina goes to Donald Trump, the electoral college result will be 306 to 232. Back in the 2016 election, Trump received 304 electoral college votes, and Clinton received 227. However, there were seven “faithless electors” — […]
Trump not only refuses to concede the election, he claims he won (by a lot!). And the Republicans are enabling him: “Let’s fight back and give President Trump all the due process the law allows him.” — Lindsay Graham “President Trump is 100 percent within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh […]
Joe Biden has been declared the winner of the presidential election. Even by Fox News. But Trump just keeps on lying. No amount of lawsuits or lies worked. I am definitely counting the days until the inauguration.
Thursday, the same day as the final presidential debate, the US set a new all-time record for the most number of new Covid-19 cases in a single day. The benchmark was hit as the pandemic has accelerated at a pace not seen since the summer and as many local governments have reimposed restrictions to stop […]
The idea of “court packing” the US Supreme Court has been getting attention lately, in the wake of Mitch McConnell and the Republican controlled Senate ramming through the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett less than a month before the presidential election. The media seems intent on pressing Joe Biden — including during Biden’s town hall […]
This is a fascinating interactive visualization of Covid-19 by state over time, created by Dan Goodspeed. The color of the bar indicates whether the state is “blue” or “red” (based on the Cook Partisan Voting Index). The length of each bar shows the number of Covid-19 cases per million people in each state. For example, […]
