Oath of offices for republicans, disregarded by a sham Senate impeachment trial, apathy and unconcern and downright distraction from half of the voting public and denial plus addiction is what 2020 looks like so far. We have loyal followers of the so called King. It is no
Martin Luther King was a great leader and peace activist. Martin Luther King was killed in Memphis as he stood for civil rights and unions. He was killed by a racist with a gun. Martin Luther King will be honored by many this coming Monday but
Do not question Dear Leader, you plebeian cur! x Fox News cut away from Republican Sen. Mike Lee as he excoriated the Trump admin’s Soleimani briefing as “probably the worst briefing at least on a military issue I’ve seen.†pic.twitter.com/736Qtd6bWZ — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January
The capacity for total delusion on the part of Donald Trump and his Fox News defenders has never been, and can never be, overstated. However, there are times when they exhibit such utterly ludicrous behaviors that it astonishes even the most jaded media observers. And
Sunday, December 15, 2019 Hollywood Cemetery Richmond, Virginia Dearest Ambassador Haley, I am writing from the distant past to offer some modest thoughts about your exciting future. I understand congratulations are in order as you embark on the journey to seek the presidential nomination of

Trump’s narcissism could compel him to want to appear in his own defense before the Senate during his impeachment trial. Needless to say, that would be foolhardy and an historical spectacle, BUT WHAT RATINGS! We know that in the Mueller matter, Trump’s lawyers managed to
I’m seeing a lot of comments lately saying Trump committed treason; this needs to stop. When I was searching for an image for this diary, I saw all kinds of photos calling Hillary a traitor, John Kerry, John McCain, Pope Francis, Jane Fonda, Julian Assange.
I won’t even pretend to channel OPOL. I don’t think anyone could write or rant as he could. We got the news today that One Pissed Off Liberal had passed. One Pissed Off Liberal would be topping trees had he seen that dictator and murderer,
This is the third of three posts on topics coming from the last two nights of debates. The first two, on immigration and on Medicare for All, are available for your perusal and commenting through my user page. In economic terminology, Socialism is where the
I can understand why a U.S. citizen wouldn’t know that the Constitution gives Congress, and not the president, authority to declare war. U.S. presidents have been pushing the envelope vis-à-vis military action for decades now. But Brian Hook is U.S. special representative for Iran and senior policy
It’s obvious to us that Donald Trump has crossed the Rubicon so many times they’ve had to build a KFC next to it, but when Fox’s talking heads start calling him out for his extralegal brain farts, we know things have gotten pretty egregious. Andrew Napolitano,

in case anyone cares. There are a variety of reasons. Let’s start with the more mundane, or rather, those involved with my personal life. This has been a very difficult school year, for a lot of reasons. Perhaps when I note that I have been
The real national emergency is we’re surrounded by fellow citizens who don’t know shit about the United States or its history. And Donald Trump is the predictable denouement of our dumbfuckery. If you don’t really understand the Constitution, separation of powers, the respective roles of the executive
If nothing else, Donald Trump is a one-of-a-kind occupant of the Oval Office. His jaw-dropping corruption, staggering incompetence, mind-numbing policy ignorance, puerile penchant for payback, and unprecedented deceit put the Trump presidency in a class by itself. Nevertheless, Trump’s courtiers, sycophants, and water-carriers have tried
Just in time for the Fourth of July, Gallup released the results of its latest survey of patriotism. Its primary finding? For the first time in Gallup's 18-year history asking U.S. adults how proud they are to be Americans, fewer than a majority say they
In a recent episode of Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver led a 20-minute deep dive into the world of “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs). With more than 3,500 such locations around the nation (more than double the number of facilities providing abortion services in the United
On Dec. 12, Alabamans will go to the polls in a special election to determine the replacement for Sen. Jeff Sessions, who is now Donald Trump’s hatchet man at the Justice Department. Despite Republican control of every statewide office, there is a remote chance the “Heart of
Campaign Action While most eyes this week were on the carnage in Las Vegas, the catastrophe in Puerto Rico, or the dangerous provocations towards Pyongyang and Tehran, the Trump administration was hard at work deconstructing the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. While that bulwark
