What could be possibly more American than a group of cranky a-holes, fighting for their God-given right to spread deadly diseases at fast food restaurants? That’s peak 2021, folks; MAGA mites always save the best for last. As much as I’d like to dump most Burger King food into Boston Harbor (still a far...
I grew up in northeast Wisconsin about 40 miles outside of Green Bay. So, naturally, I’m a Green Bay Packers fan. You might say Packers fandom is part of my DNA. So, in a way, anti-vaxxers are right. The vaccine—or at least one gormless Green Bay goober’s decision to reject it—has...
The right-wing has spent the last few weeks gnashing and grinding their teeth to the gum line, trying hard to compare the Afghan evacuation to Ho Chi Minh City, (Saigon). President Biden extricated America from a black hole of war that sucked the very lives, resources, and emotions out of...
Civilized societies dictate that every opinion counts: but is that true? Put another way, yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion but the real question is; should every opinion count? Oh sure, there is value in hearing everyone out, but what happens once that opinion is given is what separates...

“…wearing a mask while playing was no different from wearing a parachute while skydiving.” The above quote is purportedly from the late Jacques Plante, former goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens Hockey club when his bravery was questioned for wearing a mask. As absurd as it seems now, there was a...
Minnesota law enforcement, at its based level exhibits some intersectional issues often represented in fictional culture products like Fargo. Their police forces haven’t learned very much since the death of George Floyd. So many examples of bad faith below:
Here’s the latest news on the recall effort in California: The effort to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has gathered over 2 million signatures — a number of signatures, if validated, that could force a measure on a ballot. The leaders of RecallGavin2020 announced this week that their effort reached over 2,060,000 signatures...
So I know C-SPAN’s whole shtick is to simply report the news without editorial comment, but maybe they could make an exception here and there? Like when a member of one party accuses the entire opposition party of eating babies? Just spitballing here. Watch: x “We need women like [Marjorie Taylor-Greene] in...
From The Los Angeles Times: But a Times investigation found that recall campaign leaders, seeking to capitalize on the darkening public mood, allied with radical and extreme elements early on to help collect signatures. Those included groups promoting distrust of government, science and medicine; peddlers of QAnon doomsday conspiracies; “patriots”...
It’s simple really. How did COVID-19 become a global epidemic in a few weeks? How do we stop it spreading? It’s really fucking simple. I have had to watch my partner suffer from exhaustion for months and what may develop into PTSD with time, how much longer does she have...
Public health officials have been warning us for months now about the dangers of the novel coronavirus, about how devastating it can be, how easy it is to spread, and, most importantly, how we can protect ourselves and everyone around us from it. In response, a grateful nation is ....
The stupid, it burns! A Washington Post reporter has found a correlation between the people protesting shelter-in-place orders and people who refuse to get vaccinated or refuse to vaccinate their children. Trump’s promise of ‘Warp Speed’ fuels anti-vaccine movement in fertile corners of the Web Some of the same online...
Quackery emerged again during the WH COVID Taskforce briefing yesterday, because Trump does listen to people in his base who engage in fringe beliefs and conspiracy theories (CT). “Expect a Miracle” x The President inquires about injecting disinfectant? pic.twitter.com/75kGQkD0h7 — Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) April 23, 2020 “Maybe you can, maybe...
For the next few days, I’m going to apply the Barron Trump standard to anything conservatives say about Greta Thunberg, the young climate change activist who was just named Time magazine’s Person of the Year. Katie Pavlich says Greta Thunberg wouldn't be as famous if she was a climate change...
Not content to settle for one mass killing by a psycho stirred up by his imaginary invasion of the border by exhausted, hungry immigrants, Generalissimo Doofus Dumbass is activating up to 14,00 troops to send to the border in an attempt to cause more…. x #BREAKING Up to 14,000...
Donald Trump Jr. is about one flickering brain cell away from being a really unpopular Muppet, and the zeal with which he gloms onto random conspiracy theories (a la his dough-brained father) is further proof of that. The latest? Because a photo exists of Anderson Cooper standing waist-deep in water...
Kudos to The Daily Beast for highlighting this about GOP gubernatorial candidate, Kevin Stitt (R. OK): x YouTube Video The Republican nominee for Governor in Oklahoma expressed skepticism of childhood vaccinations in a speech earlier this year, aligning himself with a fringe movement that equates immunization with government overreach.
