Have you ever asked yourself, why are so many GOP political theories race and gender-based? The latest is that voter ballots in Arizona were smuggled in from China. The GOP has decided the best way to expose this absurd idea is to exploit a silly stereotype and check the ballots...

I recently came across a typical Twitter argument about the CIA promoting modern art as propaganda. The usual distorting tweet-discourse occurred but what remained are somewhat paranoid discussions of whether the CIA supported Modern Art. They really didn’t, as much as they supported US propaganda in general. The argument about CIA and Art evolved...
x “It's called a merge commit, Marty! It's a directed acyclic graph! We need to bisect and revert, and then use interactive rebasing possibly with a cherry-pick. What aren't you getting about this!?” pic.twitter.com/zahjHhiB33 — Gabriel Lebec (@g_lebec) October 2, 2020 Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those...
I am so sick of stupid. I am sick of parents putting their kids in danger right down to being canaries in a coal mine. The people who believe the orange headed nutcase who spreads as much poison to ignorance as possible are dying from his poison kool aid. Magically...
If as the Trump campaign says, “Joe Biden is an empty vessel for the radical left,” Trump’s septic tank overflows for the radical right. Needless to say, RWNJ’s will claim that Joe Biden is as much a tool for something something left-wing as Trump isn’t a dupe for all kinds...
It is more of a comment on Trump’s “cancel culture” that the Aurora, Colorado police would bust up a crowd of violinists peacefully demonstrating a bias death. x Police showed up in riot gear to a peaceful violin vigil for Elijah McClain. âÂÂAurora police basically recreated the dynamic of McClain's death,â says...
Still in a first wave doesn’t mean that like ramps, they can be both “long and steep”. And the lies keep coming. x I stopped counting a month ago, when Trump said for the 40th time that the 1918 flu pandemic, which killed his own grandfather, happened in 1917. Now...
It’s worth reading Anne Applebaum’s Atlantic article “History Will Judge the Complicit”, or does the GOP wish to reveal the truth of conservative principles as oxymoron. “The question now is whether the old American mantras, the appeals to traditions of democracy and the rule of law, still work—or whether they have...
186 days left in Trump's “year of tremendous death”. At the end of that year there will be dances, singing,… and cake. May Day is a public holiday usually celebrated on 1 May. It is an ancient festival of Spring[1] and a current traditional spring holiday in many European cultures. Dances, singing, and cake are usually part of the...
February 26, President Trump said to his fellow Americans, “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” His misinformed declaration was his first national press conference addressing...
Whatever you might think of David Frum, he does seem to have the number of the phenomenon called Trumpism especially as it is now trying to save itself before the retreat to the bunker. Like Trump’s tweets, diversion and distraction are the gonads in his bag of tricks. Diametric opposites and misdirection...
So Bernie Sanders is still defending that he said nice things about Fidel Castro, Daniel Noriega, and the subway system in Moscow, and Sanders is only doubling down on his previous comments because Trump does this? I saw that being posited on MSNBC today. It’s bullshit. Politicians were doubling down...
So when do we start interfering in Russian elections? I know ..I know… we can’t do that but this crap is an act of war. We are a soverign nation or supposed to be. If I wanted to be Russian with a Russian run country, I would fly my ass off...
Bernie Sanders appeared on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd. Chuck tried to make an issue with the problem Bernie would have with his self-ascribed Socialist moniker if he became the Democratic Party’s nominee. Bernie illustrated how easy it will be to flip the argument. Bernie can go toe to...
I really do not care anymore if Republican politicians ever apologize for their lies, insults, and harmful policies. Yes, apologizing is the human thing to do because no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Saying “I’m sorry” is the first step in trying to correct a mistake or...
During the impeachment hearings last week, I kind of wanted Fiona Hill to float down from the ceiling after the lunch break like Mary Poppins and spank the ever-living crap out of Gym Jordan and Devin Nunes. Or maybe give them a royal death glare and intone, “We are not amused.”...
A distortion that probably didn’t need publicity because the sample is flawed. “The survey from Quinnipiac University Poll released Wednesday found that 47 percent of registered voters polled said the Democratic Party has moved “too far left;” however, most of those voters identified as Republicans.” By contrast, 37 percent of...
Hey you communists, libtards, snowflakes and now included outside the democratic party..The NEVER trumpers./s..OTHERWISE KNOWN AS HUMAN SCUM. We need to unify regardless what they do or call us. We can get mad, too. We can do it by visiting our local candidates and Donate, GOTV, and talk how the...
The Trump meltdown seems not to have had much effect, other than enhancing Speaker Pelosi’s image with women as Gallup polls a majority in favor of impeachment and removal. So much Republican cowardice, especially in the US Senate, as #Trumpeachment continues. There could be an actual breaking point, even as history...
Received this e-mail today from the former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D. CA), in support of Jaime Harrison’s (D. SC) U.S. Senate campaign: Former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D. CA) When we called out Senator Lindsey Graham for calling Democrats in Congress “communists” who “hate our own country,” he went ballistic...
Ask anyone who was a member of the civil rights movement back in the days, and they will tell you how many of the white racists always insisted that the civil rights members were either out and out communists or duped by the communists. And this kept up well into...
Lindsey Graham appeared on everyone’s favorite intellectual black hole this morning (i.e., Fox & Friends) to regale the three alabaster dopes with his own brand of projection and unhinged racism. (Wait, is it really his own brand? Or is it more like bathtub meth made with a generic version of...
The Washington Post had an op-ed this morning — Our new Saddam Hussein — that got me to thinking about our insistence on repeating the same mistake in the Middle East, a region notoriously unforgiving of mistakes. In brief: We backed Shah Reza Pahlevi in Iran, he was a ruthless...
Think Progress “Now another Republican has been connected to the Proud Boys. After an angry mob confronted and cursed at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) during a campaign event for Donna Shalala (D-FL) in Coral Gables on Wednesday, the Washington Post reported the Florida protest “appears to have been organized by Nelson...
Stalin had this nasty little trick he played on those who supported the Russian Revolution and were part of the political establishment. Stalin would single out a faction of the original revolutionaries — the socialists for starters — and accuse them of being traitors and counter-revolutionaries. The diehard communists turned on socialists...
Saturday, October 28th: it’s election day here in Iceland. Always a Saturday, because what sort of country would schedule elections on a working day? Seriously, people! 😉 Some background information: 1) Why elections now? Our previous government was highly divided, with three parties — the right-isolationist Independence Party (Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn / xD),...
CIA needed a substitute for Naziism and Communism. Wahhabi Islam, al-Qaida are financed out of Saudi/GCC. They wouldn't do. Even later as ISIS and all the lovely Muslim Brotherhood death squads… “Free Syrian Army”… wouldn't do. So of course, what else? Iran became the new monster state. Words from Mahmoud...
There's more involved here than words. “Islamist terrorism” is what you want to say when you talk about ISIS and al-Qaeda. They are properly “Islamist” because “Islamism” and “Salafism” are the names in English for the offshoots from worldwide Islam that spawned their movements. You can tell right off that...
