Six-year-old Juan de León Gutiérrez; 8-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo; 6-year-old Jakelin Caal Maquin; two additional children a 10-year-old and a 2-year-old, both from Guatemala, have died in the past two years as a result of the Trump administration’s Border Policy. Add to that this week,
The Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judiciary Committee are tantamount to charwomen. Throughout the history of the United States, we have mopped the muddied floors of injustice with waters we have tried to cleanse with lackluster moral purity. The floors
We’re about two months out from the first contest in the Democratic primary, so I think it’s a good time to look at the current state of the race and compare how they compare with peoples’ expectations. . Now, I myself shared some thoughts on that back

There are misnomers in this great big wide country of ours. One is that non-voting minorities, young people and women, are responsible for the election of Donald Trump. Barack Obama was elected with unprecedented numbers of blacks, Latinos, and young people between 18-29. That record-breaking
Assuming that a cowed GOP Senate acquits POTUS* in an impeachment trial, the entirety of the GOP’s candidates must bear that responsibility at the polls in 2020. #MorningJoe @EdWexler https://t.co/uvGK8cyJ6N @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani @MSNBC Rudy who? pic.twitter.com/eyQmpbCOXM — 🄱🄾🅆🅂🄴🅁 (@edz1) December 2, 2019 OJ, Trump: same struggle?
It’s possible to call this NY Times article a hit piece but it does have extensive background even as it seems pessimistic about a turnaround. Even with a couple of months away from the Iowa caucuses, the Harris campaign must address the charges of leadership problems and
The 2020 election should not be a mess except that what seems to be obvious will be ignored. Angry stupid people could vote en masse. In our polls from last month, here's the completion percentage by vote history.Voted 2016 and 2018: 2.3%Voted 2016 not 2018: 1.3%Didn't
Russian thumbs have been on the scales as well as on the screens. Only willful ignorance keeps so many usefully idiotic assets still in power. In which I think I understand. The Trump-Russia Investigation and the Mafia State https://t.co/wAe7doaUrD — masha gessen (@mashagessen) January 31,
There have been some challenges for the Harris campaign, including some being framed by RW and MSM, with a recent staff shake-up. Some of us want the Harris campaign to overcome difficult internal strife in a fluid and historic year. Many excuses are being made as
Why can’t we trust this man? Just a week after the President may have disgusted a large part of his base, the military, by interfering with the Navy’s decision to strip Navy Seal/Petty Officer First Class, Eddie Gallagher of his Trident pin, he unexpectedly visited
If the cops walk in, while I am in the middle of a bank robbery and I pull off my mask, drop my gun and shout, I was not robbing the bank!; the cops should let me go. If anyone questions my logic my excuse-makers
It turns out the media's obsession with the superrich isn't confined to the world of celebrity and entertainment. In politics, the press also seems utterly fascinated with how the 0.1% live, and especially what their political leanings are. For the 2020 campaign, that means a
The primary is hard to forecast right now but it seems a bit ridiculous that PredictIt bettors think that Bloomberg is almost as likely to win the Democratic nomination as Bernie Sanders. pic.twitter.com/qX72JPcgWI — Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) November 26, 2019 I could vote for Mike
The evolution of change is usually the result of slow transformation; the wheel led to wagons; the wagons led to cars, cars led to rockets and rockets led to video games. The announcement of Michael Bloomberg into the race for the Democratic nomination for President
There's been a complete transformation in how the campaign press covers elections in the last decade, and it's a defining change that's benefiting Republicans, and specifically Donald Trump. The change is in the way the press has dramatically curtailed its coverage of policy and of
Throughout the House Intelligence Committees’ hearings centering on the Impeachment of the 45th President of the United States, Devin Nunes’ opening statements, preceding the testimony of witnesses bemoaned the Democrats for wasting time and not doing the business of America. Yesterday, California Rep. Eric Swalwell,
In June of 2008, Barack Obama used a rhetorical flourish that belies his character; “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” said the future President. At the time, the then-candidate was on a fundraising junket that I attended (full disclosure)
In 2016, when President Hillary Clinton (oh I am sorry right-wing) when former candidate Hillary Clinton announced she had pneumonia, along with releasing her medical records, the Conservative smear machine sprang into action. We saw a flurry of Trump-ites, and Republican operatives tell us she
Without panicking, the potential chaos of the 2016 election, regardless of result could repeat itself, noting Moscow Mitch’s complicity then and now in 2020 election security. This training event could be amusing except that William Barr’s recent speech to the Federalist society warned of impending
