Lady Justice has functioned very well—for years, being blind, but now Donald Trump, William Barr, and Republican officialdom are rendering her mute. Last night, and for as long as Attorney General Barr does not collapse under the weight of a tweet, he publicly admitted the
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. Sens. Grassley and Johnson
There really is no bottom. Now Trump is directing his corrupt Justice Department to investigate and prosecute (persecute) his critics. Meanwhile, he lobbies for light sentences and dangles pardons for his bootlicking sycophantic criminal accomplices. This is not normal. And it demonstrates that Republicans who
It may be irony, schadenfreude or coincidence but we are crossing paths at the intersection of politics and Marvel or DC Comics. We have a blustering Joker as Head of State, Mr. Freeze as his second, and an assortment of Two-faces, Riddlers and a top-hatted
The evidence of Donald Trump's blatant and long-held racism is well documented. He openly disparaged people of color as criminals and rapists on the day he announced his candidacy for president. He demeans African-American members of Congress as “low IQ” and tells them to “Go
The daily schedule of alleged president Donald Trump is typically a short list of non-presidential activities such as as golfing, tweeting, watching Fox News, and headlining cult rallies filled with lies and hatred for his perceived political foes. And as of late Trump has taken
Seeing what you want to see to the exclusion of all else is not only to deny facts, it is dangerous. Proof of that is when Susan Collins and other Republicans said he [Trump] has learned his lesson. It is like when you turn to
Did you know that Michael Bloomberg is the ONLY Democratic presidential contender who knows how to defeat Trump? I do not have the links for now to Nicole Wallace’s Deadline Whitehouse from Friday where her panel gushed about Bloomberg’s latest ad about Trump, or the
It didn't take Donald Trump long to convert his impeachment into what his diseased brain thinks is a plus for him. Deep down he knows that he's been severely wounded and tainted for life. That's evident by how obsessed he is with denying it. But
Here’s a fun little drinking game. Every time Devin Nunes mentions nude pictures of Trump, drink … Drano. And it wouldn’t hurt to gouge your eyes out with the kitchen implement of your choice. For the record, this isn’t the first time Nunes has obsessed over Trump
Wait, didn’t we just have a big impeachment trial over this? Oh, never mind. The culprits got away with it. Of course, this is a little like going back to the bank you robbed in broad daylight to collect the tellers’ wallets. The Department of
Yup. Nine of the last ten U.S. recessions began with a Republican President.

In the aftermath of Donald Trump's impeachment, a flurry of frantic Republicans scurried out to insist that their irresponsible votes to let Trump off the hook for flagrant abuse of power were justifiable because Trump had learned his lesson and would sin no more. That
Hey, check out this fragrant twaddle: x I just got a call from a good friend ~ @realDonaldTrump. He was calm, confident and upbeat. We chatted about the week that I believe, secured his 2020 re-election. I mentioned “America This Week†on @WeAreSinclair beats Fox,
Holy shit. He looks like Hannibal Lecter in the ambulance after he ripped that guard’s face off and put it on his own head. x â¦@realDonaldTrumpâ© returns to the White House from Charlotte, North Carolina. Photo by William Moon at the South Lawn of the
Republican officeholders with integrity are rarer than unicorns, or bigfoot, or bigfoot riding a unicorn. But they are, apparently, out there. And they stand out like a sore thumb. The latest to make his voice heard is Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, who said at a press conference
The e-mails in support of U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D. AL) for voting to convict Donald Trump keep coming in. First from Democracy For America: There’s been a lot of talk about Mitt Romney this week, but he’s not the only Senator who put the
Seriously, pull your head out of your ass, dude: Former President Barack Obama met privately with Montana Gov. Steve Bullock on Thursday in Washington, an adviser confirmed, as Democrats hold out hopes that the red-state governor makes a surprise, last-minute splash into the state’s Senate
It's time for another episode of Chopper Talk, Donald Trump's irregularly scheduled alternative venue for disseminating Alternative Facts (aka lies). Since the White House no longer holds press briefings, this is pretty much the media's only access to the President's festival of falsehoods (which they
I was transported yesterday from the East Room of the White House back to 1997 when the President spoke yesterday before an assembled group of embarrassing open-mouthed American political seals. In that year, the Seinfeld episode entitled the Strike aired December 18, 1997 and introduced
