Previous guy now whines even more about his online presence (which is not a 'platform')
Donald J. Telharmonium: lots of rotating discs and not much of an effect, network or otherwise. With other elements of the Big Lie grift moving forward, Trump will unfortunately be back because of not underestimating “the […]
Those committed to truth and facts must fight five times harder than the Republicans and their lies.
It depresses me to acknowledge this, but the Republicans’ commitment to blatant and serial lying, and Orwellian “make believe” governing, pose a real threat by overwhelming the public debate and individual’s efforts to stay grounded. While a bit well-worn […]

Previous Guy's Republican States of America: lots of ring-kissing and revenge fantasies
Not prosecuting Trump for what seems to be incontrovertible evidence of his Stormy Daniels payoff seems to be small potatoes only if the big enchiladas are left on the plate. Yet the GQP thinks that they still […]
FL-Gov: “It's him and Casey. But everyone else is like a disposable piece of garbage.”
Not surprised by this: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a rising star in the Republican Party. But many of his former staffers told Politico they felt used and abused by the MAGA politician. A group […]

SHOCKED! ThisWeek’s Martha Raddatz stopped lie-in-progress from prolific Republican lying Senator

Punish Republicans with this part of the Biden speech every time they object to his agenda.

Minerva @ Midnight: the MTG versus AOC debate on the GND likely will not happen
This proposed “debate” between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should generate plenty of charitable pay-per-view revenues. Enough to build a space laser. The outcome should also resemble Bambi meets Godzilla. There’s yet to be a response […]
Minerva @ Midnight: don't defund police, reduce the domestic military force occupying our country
Structural change needs to happen, because in community policing, community should precede policing. The paramilitary trend should not be seen as a burgeoning conflict between armed militias, one more official than the other. We need […]
the Prince Consort is dead, long live DMX at fiddy, and 1,2,3…many Tucker Carlsons
We’re now at that strange nexus where Brian Kilmeade’s attempt to pin Prince Phil’s death on the granddaughter-in-law fits other anti-semitic and racist tropes fronted by Fox News. This because of counting artifacts in threes. […]

Minerva @ Midnight: has the left been “tamed” by Biden
This is a bad place in history. Apparently half of the GQP thinks the 1/6 insurrection was left-wing activists trying to make Trump “look bad”, accordingly, MSM thinks Biden has “tamed” the left. The administration’s warm relationship […]
Fox fails again: Do not come for the Buttigieg unless he calls for you
OK, this is just getting embarrassing. Fox News keeps inviting Pete Buttigieg on, hoping to humiliate him in a “gotcha” moment. Instead, their exchange always goes viral with #SlayerPete utterly humiliating them. AGAIN, and AGAIN, and […]
AntiCapitalist MeetUp: Are carbon markets like papal indulgences
Like Martin Luther objecting to Pope Leo X selling indulgences to raise money for a variety of excesses, the environmental costs of carbon markets far exceed the benefits. Austerity would have denied us Renaissance art which is […]
Reporter's attempt to corner WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Biden's bipartisanship fails miserably

M T Greene is Seriously in Trouble – with Republicans
Marjorie Taylor Greene (I refuse to dignify her with an affectionate abbreviation) has not exactly followed Speaker Sam Rayburn’s classic advice: “to get along, go along.” (To be fair, that maxim died quite a while […]
The former guy's nutty attack on Karl Rove reminded me how grateful I am he's no longer on Twitter
The tweets are gone, and they’re never coming back. You probably already saw yesterday’s dispatch from the McRib-bespattered writing nook of our ex-pr*sident. (Is the McRib back yet? I can never keep track. They’re like […]
Anti-Capitalist Meet-Up: the Climate Crisis has weak carbon markets and lagging technology
The sparse number of actual carbon capture and sequestration projects plus weak carbon markets amplify the problems of the climate crisis yet to be revisited, post-Trump. Two heartland examples in North Dakota and Texas show how there are several interlocking […]
A 'second gilded age'? Maybe, but only because recycling ideas is an academic genre
Darn those class commitments, aligning us to our political choices in a democracy, made worse by all those folks who knew they were in that Gilded Age. “If the future of the Democratic Party is […]
darn those near-sighted deer: South Dakota AG hit and run case reveals more facts
Because not wanting to be accountable for perhaps something more felonious like manslaughter is so on brand for Republicans. The detectives confront him with what they know, starting around 1:10 and building through 1:15 https://t.co/JSVjUYabLB […]
