Minerva @ Midnight: today in GOP foolishness
Previous guy and the GQP continue to be weird and entirely predictable. Weird and even entirely predictable — Kim Mangone (@KimMangone) April 4, 2021 Mike Huckabee doubled down on the usual RW hate, timing it […]
Georgia Republicans try to retaliate after Delta Airlines CEO speaks up for voter rights
All across red America, Republicans are promoting COVID-19, trashing democracy, and lying with the same feral abandon that the Abominable Showman himself demonstrated lo these many years. And because Donald Trump declared by feckless fiat […]
'Is this patriot enough?' Asian American elected official reveals battle scars to prove his loyalty

Can we at least get rid of some sober drivers, Senator Kennedy?

Where are you from? (The Coast) How long have you been here? (I look at my watch and say 50+ years)
More “bad days” ahead. We’re not going to throw up our hands even as social media now shifts to predictable Islamophobia. Notable is that the shooter in Boulder bought his gun on the evening of […]
GOP senator takes not-so-subtle poke at Black Lives Matter during gun violence hearing
I’m not in a jovial mood today. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed … because my bed is still in America. If it straddled the U.S.-Canada border, I might have had a […]

Conservatives have some really dumb new reasons for opposing D.C. statehood

Meet The Press discusses anti-Asian violence without any invisible model minority… ground Chuck

Arrest in GOP election fraud: Florida man runs a phony candidate with similar name to siphon votes
Running a GOP candidate with a name resembling the Democratic incumbent may have drawn away enough votes to allow another GOP candidate to win a Florida state senate seat. On election night Frank Artiles bragged […]
the Grand Hotel Abyss defunded and canceled by Trump's GQP culture war on massage spas

previous guy keeping the grift going with more nonsense interviews
Lost relevance continues with more of the same Trump delusions up-chucking soon, signaled by the latest Big Lie interview with Fox News, likely leading to more revisionism. Unfortunately Trump’s memoirs would be regurgitating the propaganda […]
He didn't park his privilege at the door when he decided to have a bad day
Prosecuting hate crime is another thing some prosecutors might not want especially when a Bible Belt jury might want to condone violence against the victimless(sic) crime industry. “Let those pesky feds do it”. As the […]
