Rutherfraud B. Trump’s second term will doom any third Reconstruction, but before then, military ceremonies prop up his uses of the armed forces in political campaign stunts. Bringing cadets back to campus was only designed for another IMPOTUS* photo-op, and some self-congratulations: For the first time in 70 years, we established...

The republic is in trouble as Trump did his first rally of 2020, demonstrating that there will be even less difference between official speeches and campaign rallies. Shtick abides. This time, Trump whines that he “saved” Ethiopia, but he didn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for it. He repeated the...

Yes, Max Boot is a conservative. But despite his Republican roots, he’s been one of Donald Trump’s fiercest and most consistent critics. That makes him useful — at least for the time being. And yesterday, he once again blew holes in the fragrant hunk of Swiss cheese that used to be...

Donald Trump praised a dog named Conan today for “his” role in the successful raid on ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. It could have been a sweet moment remembered fondly by all those who’ve somehow forgotten Trump is a steaming pile of tauntaun carcass who has never cared about a sentient being...

So many underlings doing their jobs, so much disloyalty. Mr. Trump first expressed his dismay about Michael Atkinson around the time the whistle-blower’s complaint became public in September. In recent weeks, he has continued to raise with aides the possibility of firing him, one of the people said. The president has...

Weird that the GOP defense could wind up: “I did it, so what – get over it” Idiotic that Individual-1 is trying with the help of his GOP buddies, to make impeachment into reality-TV kayfabe. No amount of extra campaign money funneled to 2020 vulnerable GOP senators can make them less vulnerable to...

So, this afternoon drumpf tweeted RW The Daily Wire’s horrendously bad photo shop of his travesty awarding the hero K9 of the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi raid a medal for bravery, defacing a photograph of an actual Medal of Honor winner… The president tweeted out an image of the dog credited in...

Baghdadi-Bob apparently lapsed into fantasy as he turned a solemn announcement about killing a terrorist chieftain into a campaign speech complete with ad-libs. Trump’s next speech in Chicago used the mission as a ‘sir’ story which automatically challenges its credibility. https://t.co/DaYeK1Rhttps://twitter.com/samstein/status/1188997397025873926?

Coming home to roost, no one wants to be caught being the scapegoat for the obvious movement toward impeachment. The music will stop, and there aren’t enough chairs. Neal Katyal says the House committees “have the goods” to move forward. Even Steve Bannon thinks Nancy Pelosi “will impeach the President”. MAYBE...

I’ve had bosses before who always seemed to do everything they could to disrupt our team’s progress, either through interjecting nonsense or making decisions that impacted the project without thinking things through.

Donald J. Trump is his own al-Baghdadi Bob. General Gaslight’s bone spur bloodlust for oil kills the head of ISIS, but helps recruiting for Al-Q in the Global War on Terror… “as though you were watching a movie”.

I hope the news reports are quickly verified, and we can finally declare Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dead. He ordered the enslavement of Yazidi girls, threw homosexuals off of buildings, and brutally tortured and massacred the local populace. I’ve wanted him dead for many years.  If the initial reports are accurate, then...

I’m not being facetious, and the title isn’t click bait. If our congress was more like Amazon, and we could all chip in a few bucks for “Prime, with free 2 day shipping” the Judiciary committee could pass articles of impeachment today, if that is, they only took one day off for...
