impeachment trial shows GOP complicit in stalling the vote certification

Riot declared at 1:49pm. Pence evacuated at 2:26pm. The count is now $3.5 million supporting the 6 January demonstration, up from the $2.7 previously reported. The approach by the House impeachment managers is to not hold the GOP jury members accountable, rather showing how Mitt Romney and VP Pence nearly...

Poll: majority want Trump convicted in 2nd impeachment, despite 'GQP'

A majority of people polled want Trump convicted in the upcoming Senate impeachment trial, as pressure is being applied to GOP senators. A Republican group plans to run ads in the home states of nearly two dozen GOP senators during next week’s impeachment trial, pressuring them to vote to convict...

Putin's Palace (the dubbed version) soon may look for its next Trump (it's not Junior)

Lots of events happening even if they’re all quite chaotic in the Russian Federation. Numerous anti-Putin demonstrations in the middle of winter. and some mysterious doings. Considering how long Trump was groomed, there are very few Trump-like Russian stooges in the wings although Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, and Devin Nunes...

I like to study potential presidential nominees AND their running mates. I believed correctly Obama/Biden before President Obama picked Biden.

AntiCapitalist MeetUp: Climate Crisis, negative emissions technologies, and financialization

As Climate Crisis returns to the new US administration agenda, negative emissions technologies (NETs) may find their implementation hindered by neoliberal financialization. An earlier ACM story showed how Steve Keen’s critique of Nordhaus’s use of discounting climate change demonstrates that orthodox economics is incapable of accelerating innovation especially in...

virtue/vice signaling: 1/6/2021 as the GOP LARP of the Trump era

Democracy is an afterthought for Trumpists.

Harry Callahan acts beyond a rule of law premised on liberal...

It is hard to keep track of all the Republican misconduct and corruption. A short note re past week

Republicans (not just Trump) have embraced and largely succeeded with a “flood the zone” strategy of misconduct and corruption that, regrettably, can make it hard to keep track of their bad faith, much less hold them accountable. In that vein, I simply wanted to note three instances before they slip away...

shades of the Andrew Jackson inaugural, “King Mob the Second” was crowned on Wednesday

Taggan Goddard of Political Wire has an interesting theory about why Trump decided to veto the National Defense Appropriation Act (NDAA): Buried in its 4500+ pages is something called the Corporate Transparency Act (link is to the original stand-alone House version).
