The exponential jump in right-wing extremists groups began at the beginning of the first Obama Administration. It seems these ‘unregulated’ militias apply the wording in the 2nd amendment selectively. The opposition to the last administration started with a million women who donned distinctive pink woven caps and dared the former...
The Washington Post is my go-to online news source — unless you count Daily Kos, of course, at which I loiter like a teenager contemplating his 11th Mountain Dew Baja Blast refill on a Saturday afternoon at Burger King. I prefer The Post because it appears to irritate Donald Trump even more than The New...
One thing I’ll never understand until the day I die is how so many people ascribe “toughness” and “manliness” to Donald Trump. (I’ll also never quite get how someone who clearly looks more like an adobe hut than a human being could garner so much support, but hey, one thing...
Lemmings, with the Secret Service locked and loaded. Was this also a protest of DC gyms’ occupancy limits? x This loser parade must’ve left their self respect at home. https://t.co/ztC8SLOMUC— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) November 14, 2020 x MOMENTS AGO: Trump supporters rush to see the president's motorcade driving by. pic.twitter.com/h0brs4gfC0...
I know many are hearing the same thing in other states but here in Florida, it is ridiculous and with DeSantis heading the ignorance, the careful are being harrassed. x Beautiful state. I enjoyed myself in Florida last week. Hardly any masks worn either. People respect one another’s personal space...
Well, this sure isn’t good news for the guy who won Michigan by the gross, spray-tanned skin of his weird, wobbly dentures. Seems another GOP stalwart has jumped off the Donald Trump boat parade and onto the Biden juggernaut. The Detroit News: Republican former Gov. Rick Snyder said Thursday he...
In the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin, the story is known for a blonde mane, braggadocio, getting caught by lies, abuse of a child, and finally a disastrous end. Although a fairy tale, the Grimm fable was more a nightmare for little German children. That brings us to present-day...
Damn straight: Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden accused President Trump of “all-out assault on the media” during World Freedom Press Freedom Day on Sunday. The former vice president criticized Trump’s treatment of the press in a campaign statement, saying his rhetoric threatens the freedom of the press as his “repeated efforts to demonize the...

There is a dark cloud over this country. A deep sinking sense of doom and that comes from fear and uncertainity. Am I trying to be fatalistic. NO. I am trying to wake you up and see the writing on the wall. He is one dictator with a bunch of...
I was interested in just who Jay Sekulow is. I found out he is a very busy man. He is so busy that he is the perfect person that Trump would have picked to be Chief Council. He is an entertainer, an activist and reported to be one of the...
Donald “Tiny, Little, Delicate Christmas Whoville Snowflake — the Very First Snowflake of This Wondrous Christmas Season” Trump apparently didn’t like getting his fee-fees hurt while the popular kids talked about him behind his back at the recent NATO summit. The Daily Beast reports that Trump recently lit into Emmanuel Macron and Justin...

This is a transcript of the telephone conversation between Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president of the United States, and Caitlin Yilek, breaking news reporter at the Washington Examiner. […] [This portion of the call...
I was angry when President Obama did not see that the Tea Party was rooting deep in this country’s governing ability. Many did not think that Don’t tread on Me meant much more than a bunch of angry racist, homophobic, in your face, gun totin group that would fade away. That...
Many will prefer that we do not elevate the likes of Joe Walsh. I will say more about this at the end of the piece. Walsh did not mince his words as he entered the race. He is redefining himself as the brave one who is just doing what many...
This story was posted in the Daily Mail today: Trump axed Iran deal to spite Obama: How the British ambassador called the President's actions 'diplomatic vandalism' fueled by 'personality reasons' – as revealed in more explosive cables that have sparked a free speech row while Iran tensions mount Now, we...
I missed most of the hearing today but caught this link and it was awesome. When dems stand up to these bullies and remind them that WE the People are who legislators represent, then we get somewhere. No more of this, my good friend, crap. People who embrace or enable...
Received this e-mail from Democracy for America: Our House majority is in jeopardy. The GOP is spending buckets of dark money dollars to flip vulnerable seats red and take back the House in 2020. That’s why we’re announcing three more endorsements today to protect and expand the House Majority in 2020....

Pete Buttigieg is pretty much the polar opposite of Donald Trump. He’s charming. He’s knowledgeable. He’s intelligent. He’s measured. He speaks in complete sentences. And there are no McNugget sauces gradually coagulating within the long-forgotten interstices of his lardy torso. He also has a solid plan for approaching his debates...
I used to get teased at school because my ears stuck out. Of course, I was 5 — and the people making fun of me were neither septuagenarians nor the president of the United States. Eventually, my head grew into my ears and I got over it. And my bullies probably...
Arkansas State Rep. Alan Clark proposed a bill, currently being considered by the State Senate committee on education, that will punish school districts by cutting their National School Lunch funding if they’re struggling with reading over a period of time. Do I have to tell you the party he belongs to? Alan Clark (R-Lonsdale, AR) To be clear,...
This really isn't that complicated. There are only two possible outcomes to the Kavanaugh nomination Either Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed, or he won't. There are only two sides here, Democratic and Republican, and each outcome will provoke a largely predictable reaction from each side. This isn't pure speculation, there...
Rand Pual is on a tear about how we can’t trust the intelligence agencies — they have too much power, and they were such bullies overthrowing other peoples elections and governments. And that Brennon is a COMMUNIST! By why is Senator Rand Paul going the full monty on defending Trump and...
My friends, I cannot continue as a Senator from Minnesota. I have loved this job. I think I have been good at it. I believe I would continue to be good at it. I do not wish to cast aspersions on the women who have accused me. They have every...
Betsy thinks this is all that’s required to be an educator. To the Republican Senators who intend to vote for Betsy Devos’s confirmation as Secretary of Education because she bought the office in the 2016 election: “I have decided to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying...
