A meme about the stock market recently got my attention. It brought not only rage and tears, but also confirmation about what we must be fighting for now. The meme was simple enough, but poignant. The next time you feel poor, and can’t fill your gas tank,
Admitting you have a problem is probably the first step, but Tucker Carlson’s race-baiting served an audience niche, however problematic. What Carlson reveals to Elaina Plott in an Atlantic story is a proto-fascism not unique to the 21st Century. She captures Carlson’s Trumpian sociopathology, which might demand
Today is Sunday, which means tomorrow I report for pre-operative stuff at the hospital for the forthcoming operation on Wednesday to address the stenosis (blockage) in my left carotid artery that caused my recent stroke. While I have no intimations of forthcoming disaster, I will
#LeningradLindsey wants to do a solid for Rudy Colludy, more likely because it will make for good television. It could be yet another sideshow of disinformation distraction for Trump. Is this a stunt-like announcement for an appearance that will self-cancel because Rudy will have to
Honest-to-goddess tweet from His Trumpiness: It’s not fair that I’m being Impeached when I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong! The Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats have become the Party of Hate. They are so bad for our Country! 4:38 PM · Dec 13, 2019·Twitter for iPhone
Surprising that it’s not connected to the Shreks’ company, “Fraud Guarantee”, and yet sanctions got removed from related Russian companies. Individual-1 Trump obeys his masters, even if there are a lot of folks with similar names. Lavrov may have ordered Trump to *remove immediately* three
x There are over 400 “Nobody is Above the Law” rallies in all 50 states planned for the night before the House votes on impeachment. If you’re fed up with Trump and want him gone, text PROTEST to 21333 to find the event nearest you.
Was wearing campaign gear appropriate to the #ArmyNavyGame. Trump could have skirted actions applicable to his staff by sticking with his campaign’s “USA” caps. However, he went full MAGA/KAG this time, rather than wearing a Commander-in-Chief / POTUS cap usually worn by his predecessors. Will at least one
Trump could have skirted this, as he has before with his campaign’s “USA” caps, but he went full DBAD this time. x Literally anyone who’s worked in campaigns or government offices knows not to mix campaign with official or vice versa.— Max Barrile (@Barrile_Max) December
It is a sad anniversary for #SandyHook but is also a reminder that nothing has changed about the spread of RWNJ CTs that conform to propaganda models. What happened in 2016 will likely repeat itself. If you haven’t yet read this Rand report, you should,
Anyone who believes that they can make peace with Republicans like Mitch McConnell and his ilk is dreaming. Tacking to the mythical center is tantamount to capitulation. One cannot reach ideological Republicans because it is not about wrong or right. It is solely about getting their way. They
Hat tip to Huffington Post for the find and video. Barney Frank had some wise advice for Democrats running for Senate against GOP held seats in 2020. Frank appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews and predicted that voters would punish the GOP candidates outside of
Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. We are in the midst of the WH crime spree and it must end. Michelle Goldberg worries about it in the NY Times. Democracy Grief Is Real Seeing what Trump is doing to America, many find it hard
I was six years old when these words were the words people discussed when discussing politics at the table at my grandparents. www.orlandosentinel.com/… “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within….”
The corporate media is attempting to make UK’s Labour Party & Jeremy Corbyn’s defeat as the future of the American Progressive movement. Don’t buy it. x x YouTube Video I knew it was coming though it came quicker with a larger ferocity than I thought
Even if the votes leading to it might not be secret, perhaps there’s a way to get to removal. it’s not hard to imagine three senators supporting a secret ballot. (A)ccording to current Senate procedure, McConnell will still need a simple majority—51 of the 53
If you look up the slang term Okie Doke, the definition reads in part, “to buy something you aren't selling.” In the longer than necessary marathon markup hearing for the articles of impeachment accusing President Donald Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, Chair
Ever since he showed up on the national stage, Trump has been called — with good reason — a narcissist, a megalomaniac, a disordered personality. But he is also a sadist, and he leads a sadistic base. This point has been raised before on this
Much like a Woody Allen satire of nouvelle vague cinematography, a Trumpist bystander tried to interrupt the Capitol Hill reporting of MSNBC’s Garrett Haake. Haake’s crew did an interesting job of choreography to try to keep the nutter out of the shot before she could compliment Howard
The horrors of climate change are unfolding around the world with smothering heatwaves, agricultural losses from flooding, and drought — higher storm surge along with powerful and deadly cyclonic windstorms armed with heavy rainfall and wildfire.
