More gaslight: Trump’s speech Saturday in North Carolina was one being delivered by the person who incited an act of terrorism designed to overturn the 2020 election. Lapsing into irrelevance, Trump says the same lies: “The 2020 election was definitely the most corrupt election in our history,” Trump claims after...

Likely there will be Daniel Dale or Aaron Rupar to tweet about the Trump blather. As for the insurrection, it was as if it had never happened. It will shock you how much the it never happened. Tom Cotton inveighed against anti-cop mobs—but only in the context of Portland and without seeming to...
So I know C-SPAN’s whole shtick is to simply report the news without editorial comment, but maybe they could make an exception here and there? Like when a member of one party accuses the entire opposition party of eating babies? Just spitballing here. Watch: x “We need women like [Marjorie Taylor-Greene] in...

COVID-19 is not like the seasonal flu, among other things. The above chart should end all comments about it being “just like the flu”. Remember that 0.6% of the US population has been tested for COVID-19. And Howard Dean is the first to announce that he’ll not go on MSNBC as...
I wanted to do something special for Sierra. She is our baby girl, the only one left at home of the grandkids we adopted. I have been Mama since she was 3 months old. She is so smart, so animated, talented and the world today is dark but not for...
Trump spoke before the daily briefing of the COVID task force presser.at 630pm ET. More time was spent changing the podium seal from the VPOTUS to that of IMPOTUS* than Trump’s remarks. Trump announces payroll tax cut to be discussed with GOP leadership. Trump lies about being the first to shut borders....
U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R. ME) has officially kicked off her re-election campaign today. Perfect timing because AlterNet found this old quote from Collins back in 1999 during the Clinton impeachment that puts her at odds with U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R. KY): That’s why new video that’s been unearthed, as...
We’re still probably six to eight hours away from the vote, although unless you’re a fan of procedure and love C-Span as much as watching the Weather Channel, it will be a long media day. I rise today and reflect upon our oath of office to 'support and defend the...
Forget about Kool-Aid. These idiots would swallow battery acid if Dear Leader told them to. And, you know, in a way they kind of are. You may have seen the recent Economist/YouGov poll in which 53 percent of Republicans claimed that Donald Trump is a better president than Abraham Lincoln. Yes,...

There’s a Beto counter-rally (above) about 14 miles away from the Trump rally in Dallas at the American Airways Center (image below).

Has anyone ever thought about sticking a meat thermometer in Trump’s head when he gets like this? I kind of want to know if there’s any chance he’ll self-combust. And I can only guess the thermometer would easily sink in as if his head were a half-baked meatloaf. Ha ha....
Wait, there’s a limit to the absurdities Republican senators will accept when it comes to Donald Trump’s “presidency”? I’d assumed they’d confirm the entire cast and crew of Duck Dynasty to Cabinet positions if Trump asked them to. Politico: Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said in a C-SPAN “Newsmakers” interview with...
This is a bit concerning, because if Donald Trump can’t garner attention through his usual racism, sexism, xenophobia, and dithering dipshittery, who knows what he’ll do next? At this rate, he appears to be about six months away from going on stage and beating war orphans to death with a sock...
