During the William J. Clinton Impeachment trial in January of 1999, Republicans were fond of using the phrase, “ a man who would cheat on his wife would cheat on his country.” Maybe Democrats should revise that derisive phrase; ‘a man who has cheated on
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. Democrats released documents revealing
Facts and figures are second to innuendo and hollow announcements in the current political climate. Three years past the Clinton/Trump presidential race the press is still biting and snarling while circling the floor and chasing its’ tail. The former head of the FBI, James Comey,
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. Dramatically escalated the threat
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence and three times is a trend. My kids will tell you, and a few of my readers may remember me using this phrase over and over to explain purposeful chaos. Donald John Trump went before the nation,

Jesus Christ, this asshole. All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far!
The White House narrative on Iran is falling apart. Donald Trump claims that he ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani due to intelligence that indicated he represented an “imminent threat” to the U.S. But reports from the Pentagon do not confirm the charge and officials
As we all know, U.S. Senator Martha McSally (R. AZ) is one of the most vulnerable Senators this cycle and Democrats have a strong recruit in Mark Kelly (D. AZ) and are spending big to attack McSally’s record: A new super PAC is targeting GOP
I’m liking this: The former campaign manager for Gov. Andy Beshear is forming a political action committee to raise money for former Marine Corps pilot Amy McGrath, signaling support for McGrath from the Kentucky Democratic establishment as she attempts to unseat U.S. Senate Majority Leader
The debate over Donald Trump’s order to assassinate a top Iranian military commander is beginning to take on the familiar tones of the Bush administration’s dishonest and unlawful invasion of Iraq nearly twenty years ago. Following the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani there has arisen
Let us count the ways in which this tweet — from Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Arizona) — is bullshit. Oh, never mind. Journalist Judd Legum already did it for me: 1. This photo is fake (photoshopped) 2. The man on the left is Hassan Rouhani, who
President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton said he is ready to throw himself at the mercy of the Senate Impeachment court, but color me skeptical. The truth from anyone associated with the Trump administration, even for a short time, strains the fabric of
Here’s the latest news out of South Carolina: South Carolina Democrat Jaime Harrison on Monday announced that he raised more than $3.5 million in the last three months as he campaigns to unseat Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham. Harrison faces a tough challenge against the three-term senator, but the
There’s something seriously wrong with this kid. At least he was at “the range” and not firing from an armored Humvee at narcoleptic mountain gorillas or something. In a provocative stupid-as-shit Instagram post on Sunday, Donald Trump Jr. was shown posing with an AR-15 featuring
Straight from the horse’s mustache: During the present impeachment controversy, I have tried to meet my obligations both as a citizen and as former National Security Advisor. My colleague, Dr. Charles Kupperman, faced with a House committee subpoena on the one hand, and a Presidential

Donald Trump is giving the world a close-up look at what happens when a reality TV game show host is foolishly put in charge of a government that he is wholly unprepared to manage. Apparently being a pathological liar, and sleazy wannabe playboy, who ran
If Donald Trump worked at, say, a pest control company, his incompetence might be funny. You’d see him wobbling around your backyard with a beehive stuck on his head before falling down an uncapped well, and hilarity would naturally ensue. Because that’s just funny. How could
