Opinion: Republicans Don’t Hate Government; They Hate Democracy

Republicans have proved to be masters at soundbite manipulation. The GOP has gotten, mainly, poor white people in the Red States to oppose Medicare expansion, happily believing that rich people trickling on them will eventually improve their lot. Truth in schools is being portrayed as a threat to whiteness, and...

Minerva at Midnight: better sex under (democratic) socialism

“As in the Times Op-Ed from which the book originated, the title refers to the results of studies conducted in Germany from the mid-nineteen-eighties onward, which reported, among other intriguing findings, that eighty per cent of East German women always experienced orgasm during sex, compared to sixty-three per cent of...

GITMO's camp 7 fails… prisoners moved, because it's still a thing

The jewel of the US prison-industrial-complex, GITMO still has 40 prisoners. Austerity comes to pseudo ‘black-site’. “Washington: A once-secret unit within the Guantanamo Bay detention centre that had fallen into disrepair has been closed and the prisoners moved to another facility on the American base in Cuba.

Even as DC is now better prepared for a “million militia march” on 20 January, the likelihood is that only the most foolhardy will lay their lives down for Trump’s Big Lie.

Remember How Howard Schultz Was a Threat To Democrats in 2020? Economic Austerity Is A LOSER.

Wow.  A corporate billionaire who thought that the federal deficit was the greatest threat to America and wanted to fix it with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid had to end his foray into presidential politics.  Seems Howard Schultz didn’t find a mass audience for his austerity message.  But...

The deceptive corporatist rewriting of the history of the #FlintWaterCrisis is in full swing

FlintWaterCrisis3.jpg

Cross-posted from Eclectablog.com During the time when the Flint water crisis was unfolding, right wing conservatives spent a lot of time trying to convince the country and the world that it was all the fault of the local government. They portrayed these local leaders as incompetent buffoons who poisoned themselves,...

Paul Krugman guts Republicans over their hypocrisy on the economy

You’re probably already well familiar with the Republican Party’s guileful ratfucking of our economy while the black man was in charge of our country. Much is made of Donald Trump’s efforts to reverse everything President Obama ever did, but Trump’s policies are really just a new chorus of an old...

I Do Not Think We Need To Panic Yet About Howard Schultz.

GOP tax plan delivers double dose of pain to blue states

Thursday’s release of the House GOP tax plan will be greeted with a flurry of “hot takes” about its “winners and losers.” So, for everyone’s sake, let’s keep this simple. Unsurprisingly, the biggest winners from what the President called a “big, beautiful Christmas present” are people named Trump and those...

NY Times “The Center-Right Moment.” In fact it's Dirty Tricks and racism that beat the Left

David Brooks states the issue properly: Given the financial crisis, widening inequality, the unpopularity of the right’s stances on social issues and immigration, you would have thought that progressive parties would be cruising from win to win. But, instead, right-leaning parties are doing well. In the United States, Republicans control...
