“It's the most wonderful time of the year…” And what could be more heartwarming and chock full of the seasonal spirit than a Christmas greeting from that perennial spreader of yuletide joy, Donald Trump? This is, after all, the Xmas savior who made it possible for Americans to once again...

Remember that the Trump pardon will not protect Steve Bannon from NY prosecution on his multimillion-dollar border wall grift. Investigators employed by the state attorney general were deputized to work as prosecutors with the team led by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. (D), whose investigation of Bannon began shortly after...
It moves… there will still be monkey business even as one good sign has been put into place: x Good evening, one and all. Please note that the FAA has restricted the airspace around Wilmington, Delaware, also known as the location of @JoeBiden. You know, similar to how they restrict the air...
Lee is ridiculous and the only people talking about religion and the late Ginsburg are the republicans. Not the democrats. Hypocrisy runs deep in this hearing and people have to realize their views never reflected the marvelous Justice Gingsburg. She is evasive and trying to dazzle them with bullshit...
My sympathies to the family of Justice Gingsburg’s family. My further sympathies for our daughters and granddaughters, POC and the disabled. Meet Barbara Lagoa: He and DeSantis working hand in hand on this one. She is a real piece of work regarding voting rights. slate.com/… One of Trump’s Top SCOTUS...
Only a Biden blowout will stop the impending doom for so many things. But not any ontological arguments, even if Trump promises that God will not exist if Biden wins. Perhaps even CNN has learned something from 2016. x From your lips to God's ears… Trump is headed for a...
I rescind my belief that Democratic politicians shouldn’t go on Fox under any circumstances. Mayor Pete forced their brainwashed viewers to confront reality. Most rightwing outlets have decided to just completely ignore this latest Trump scandal, where he called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers,” and instead focus on Nancy Pelosi’s hairdresser. Faux...
Somehow Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler got hold of my bile duct and squeezed out all my personal feelings about Donald Trump like it was a very unfunny whoopee cushion. After last night’s Trump-encouraged unrest in Portland, Mayor Wheeler went on a righteous rant today — and he successfully diagnosed the disease...
So this happened earlier today: Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who is fighting to keep her Senate seat in one of the country’s most notable races, said Tuesday she’s focusing on her own race, again offering no indication of whether she is supporting President Donald Trump. Collins was in Bangor Tuesday...
Garrett Foster was shot and killed as he tried to protect his disabled wife during a peaceful march in Austin Texas. The alleged killer has been arrested. Austin PD, per NYT: “The driver opened fire from inside the car as Mr. Foster approached. Another person in the crowd pulled out...
It boggles the mind. Anyone with half a brain would be terrified to come to Florida during a pandemic but especially with the Idiot in charge of Florida and hurricane season bearing down. Now the RNC is talking about moving it outdoors. Really? What are these people on? Seriously? Do...
Received this e-mail today from former U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly (D. IN) in support of former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: You were always so kind to me when I served in the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate from Indiana. I knew I could always count on your...
Good: In a meeting with black Wilmington leaders Monday, Joe Biden said he will create a police oversight board in the first 100 days of his presidency. The former vice president and presumed Democratic presidential nominee met with about a dozen community leaders at Bethel AME Church in Wilmington,...
Under Donald Trump, the Republican Party is racing toward a transformation that mimics the greatest evil of the 20th century. Long before the Nazis fully engaged with genocidal murder against the Jews, there were persecutions of people deemed “unfit.” These were people whom Adolf Hitler’s extremists arbitrarily deemed insufficiently able to...
No, no we do not hate anybody—we have heard that from our parents, our teachers, and our clergy since we have been able to decipher words. From the first time, you said to a sibling, ‘I hate you’ after they kicked over your blocks or for a new generation, disconnected...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s (D. NJ) re-election campaign: The US Postal Service is in dire need of emergency funding as the impact of the coronavirus could lead to services being slowed down by June and even stopped entirely by September. But Trump is playing partisan...
So the latest winner of the once-prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom saw a Pete Buttigieg ad about struggling to explain Donald Trump to one’s children. (For the record, it’s super easy if you’re willing to use the words “shit-slurping,” “twatwaffle,” and “fuckstick” in front of a 3-year-old; good luck otherwise.)...
With all due respect to Pete Wehner, an evangelical Christian, former George W. Bush White House aide, and the author of the above quote, this analogy undersells Donald Trump’s depravity by a damn stretch. A person born blind would surely be curious about what color is. Further, he or she wouldn’t scorn...

Some final polls and trends before the caucuses. x FWIW, we're going to remove YouGov's poll today from our averages. What they published is really a MRP model, not a poll, and not comparable to previous YouGov polls of IA. Revised figures for top 5 are as follows:Sanders 22.2Biden 21.4Buttigieg...
Another choke hold death revealed in today’s release of body cam video. Because three large deputies against a disabled man who was, as a deputy’s lawyer’s claim, ”responsible for his own death”. Darn being pulled over because you don’t look like you own your car. Shame on you being pulled out by...
Today is Sunday, which means tomorrow I report for pre-operative stuff at the hospital for the forthcoming operation on Wednesday to address the stenosis (blockage) in my left carotid artery that caused my recent stroke. While I have no intimations of forthcoming disaster, I will be undergoing general anesthesia, so...
No need to say much..You poor cultish people….READ for Goodness sake. BE VERY AFRAID ! http://www.msn.com/… The Trump administration is proposing changes to Social Security that could terminate disability payments to hundreds of thousands of Americans, particularly older people and children. The new rule would change aspects of disability reviews...
The BBC identified 12 key issues for the Labour party’s manifesto in preparation for the December General Election. Not wishing to take anything away from NY Brit Expat’s cogent analyses, I wanted to reflect on one item, the potential for re-nationalizing of key sectors in the US 2020 election context,...
I spoke to my sister who is 65 and caring for her two grown grandchildren. One is in and out the hospital with Diabetic neuropathy and the other with Autism. They lost their Mother in 2000 when they were small and the Mother was her only child. She was hit by...
Earlier I wrote about a newly emerging scandal in the German courts over Volkswagen’s EA189 engine. According to the court, the Dieselgate “fix” used in the engine was itself a cheat; it was only enabled within a certain temperature range, and thus was disabled for half the year (one might wonder...
I can’t even get outraged anymore, because nothing really shocks me. I think we all are wandering around angry and afraid and numb. Police have issued explosion warning regarding experimental launch in Texas tomorrow. A small community of people at the southern tip of Texas just received what some of...
Recently, the Showtime cable network aired a 7-part series entitled The Loudest Voice. The show centered around the behavior of a man driven by paranoia, narcissism, and sexual malevolence. If you watched even one episode it comes as no surprise that Roger Ailes as CEO and Chairman of Fox News...
We have very good candidates running down ballot in places like Virginia and Mississippi. These candidates need money unfortunately because it takes money to run and grassroot efforts are pinched these days. We can do something to fight back at the swamp in a new way. It could actually get...
Donald Trump is a well-known germophobe and petulant child. Both traits are on display in this clip, in which he excoriates his chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, for coughing during the pr*sident’s interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. x Pres. Trump says he âÂÂmightâ turn over his âÂÂfinancial statementâ to Congress....
This is just my opinion but for over 30 years, I have observed and attended many traditional holidays honoring our veterans and special occasions such as D Day. As the wife of a disabled PTSD vet and being around many veterans, I do not think it is healthy for most...
Pete Buttigieg is pretty much the polar opposite of Donald Trump. He’s charming. He’s knowledgeable. He’s intelligent. He’s measured. He speaks in complete sentences. And there are no McNugget sauces gradually coagulating within the long-forgotten interstices of his lardy torso. He also has a solid plan for approaching his debates...
Sadly, an Air Force buddy I had served with over 20 years ago is, today, a huge Trump fan. He’s the complete package, down to the stupid red hat and wacky conspiracy theories. His immigrant attacks must have made things particularly awkward with his lovely wife, who immigrated from Mexico. (I actually...

On the one hand, Pete Hegseth claims he never washes his hands and Brian Kilmeade gestated for nine months in a Folgers can full of bathtub gin*, so the stuff they say is bound to make little to no sense. On the other hand, they’re regulars on Fox & Friends, which...
Republican Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment is facing re-election this November, (VA has off-year elections), and what he’s done in just the past few years is nothing short of despicable. Ask anyone in Virginia what priorities the state legislature should focus on, and I challenge you to find one person who...
Trump got a beating in November, and we have a responsibility to keep the pain going. There’s a few special elections coming up that need some attention: North Carolina House District 9 — Dan McCready Dan McCready This is our best chance. Although GOP “clergyman” Mark Harris led Dan McCready by...

Tis the season: Colorado Senator Cory Gardner had a few unexpected guests at his annual Christmas party Friday evening at the Brown Palace Hotel. In addition to the usual gathering of elected officials and Republican party volunteers, several disability rights activists with the group Atlantis ADAPT joined the festivities. The...
I’m not Jewish, so I’m not plugged into Jewish culture. I’m just a boring, older white guy from the South. But I couldn’t help but think of the anti-semitism of Trump and his supporters. George Soros and several other big contributors to Democratic causes are being singled out as enemies,...
First, let me deal with #2 (FL Democrats campaigning for GOP candidates), because this one really pisses me off. If anyone wants to know why I beat my head against the wall in this stupid state, it’s because of crap like this: Kathy Lewis (D-FL Senate Dis 20) Democratic state Senate...
