Stephen Miller runs a new RWNJ lobbying group for the voter suppression agenda at the state level. It features some of the usual grifting suspects from the Trump administration. Lots of expertise with the customized large-member-toilet patent guy and Trump’s major domo who knows a lot about overthrowing an election. Sadly,...

“…politics isn't about the weird worship of one dude.” even if there was nearly a coup

Ben Sasse is still a RW member of the GQP, but he can still afford to offend his state party. x Sen. Ben Sasse to the Nebraska GOP State Central Committee: “You are welcome to censure me again. But let’s be clear about why this is happening: It’s because I...

What, sophistry or what sophistry. That Trump deposition will be a doozy. Brakes will not be pumped as Trump’s lawyers fail to deny that he incited violence against the Government of the United States. The utterance ‘Sit Your Ass Down!’ however performative, is only an example of symbolic violence. Trump impeachment response...

Has the GOP ended the 170 year two-party duopoly

Trying to “hang” their Vice President and kill “their” cops may have brought an end to the 170 year two-party duopoly. Their GOP/conservative media has already made the split. This is absolutely correct. I’m hoping by then that the GOP will have split into two parties; the Conservatives and the crackpots....

Trump loses YouTube privileges because of his videos' potential for violence

The basic Trump YouTube message was that God wants you to go out on January 20 and save America. Citing potential for violence, YouTube bans uploads on Trump's page for a 'minimum of 7 days'. It’s his “first strike”, but in Calvinball, who knows whether three will really ban him from...

The Incompetent Insurrectionist this morning tried to claim that the rioters were really “antifa” and not his supporters at all, the same way some conservative commentators have been doing since the failed putsch on Wednesday.

Trump tries to sock-puppet Twitter as social media compels him to threaten a new platform

Darn that Big Tech, it’s like the Deep State decided to merge with it and become mega-kleptocracy. Appropriately the new platform could be called “Trump”, and like Parler, access your personal information with its influence and affiliation interface.

Peak Trump Unhingery: what took so long for so much posturing

Trump is at the end of the path to the bunker. The argument for the resignation of Trump and Pence’s pardon of Trump like Gerald Ford’s of Nixon remains still viable. Invoking the 25th Amendment seems more difficult if only because the GOP still wants to avoid the Watergate comparisons,...
