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, […]
Yes, Donald Trump knew that Hope Hicks had Covid-19 and that he had been exposed to her many times. And yet he still attended a fundraising event on Thursday with 30-50 donors (who paid as much as $250,000 to get a great bit more than they bargained for). Not only that, but he met privately […]
Daniel Dale fact-checks claims made by Donald Trump during the ABC town hall. It has gotten to the point that the majority of what Trump says is a baldfaced lie.
Donald Trump claiming that he totally downplayed the seriousness of Covid-19 and the pandemic to “prevent panic” is one of the most hilarious things I have ever heard come out of his mouth. If it weren’t for Trump’s incompetence, far, far fewer people would have spread the disease. Did he not think that hundreds of […]
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 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 […]
Donald Trump lies. A lot. That has been going on for a long time. However, Trump is now approaching a new state of negative enlightenment where he virtually never says anything that is actually true. An article in the Washington Post lists every significant claim that Trump made last night about Joe Biden, and fact […]
