Sorry KM but MTG represents the Rethuglican Party not you.

Kevin McCarthy: But then McCarthy feels the icy blowback from the Trump base, and from the former president himself who was enraged McCarthy then says Donald Trump can't be blamed. Marjorie Taylor Greene: But it's what she represents that makes the situation tricky – full-throated, grassroots Trumpism which is confrontational,...

Impeachment? Trump will be impeached in the House but in the Senate all but a few republicans will vote against him and thus be complicit in an attempted coup. They missed the ideal opportunity in 2019 to get rid of Trump, but no, they obsequiously bent their knees and lauded...

Mitt Romney: U.S.' coronavirus testing record 'nothing to celebrate whatsoever'

The best I can say about Mitt Romney is that he ran for president as a Republican and somehow isn’t a garbage heap of hate and willful stupidity. The second best thing I can say about him is Donald Trump despises him, which means he must be doing something right....

“Oyez, I call Frog Court into session,” rumbled Chief Justice Jeremiah, himself a very large bullfrog. “Bailiff, read the opening Declaration.” The impossibly tall Bailiff stood and began reading: “In accordance with resolution of a civil suit involving a Reagan cabinet member and prescription drugs, The Department of Fish and Wildlife...

Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. Doublespeak may take the form of euphemisms, in which case it is primarily meant to make the truth sound more palatable. It may also refer to intentional ambiguity in language or to actual inversions of meaning....

With each election I witness it is becoming quite evident that the last people that should be listened to are the Partisans, hell they can even put you off a candidate that you quite like. Funnily enough this seems to be the fundamental election strategy adopted by all sides, it’s...

From Gallup Around 30% are registered Democrats. Around 26% are registered Republicans. Around 43% identify as Independents, a record. A hint, many of this 43% is not in the center to be triangulated over. One of the reasons Congressional job disapproval stands at 77.5% [actual approval is at 14.3%] As...

Mix hatred and with a good dose of fear and then pretend the result has nothing to do with you. His recent rhetoric is from the Front National of Jean-Marie Le Pen and not that of his daughter Marine. This is old school rhetoric and equally toxic, find the victim...
