It’s now time to drop the GOP American Jobs Plan bipartisan negotiating farce. Jen Psaki needs a better answer. Think working class. Michael Steele again. Jen Psaki has her first fail? Drop the GOP farce! Politics Done Right Live weekdays @ 3:00 PM Central Video Zoom: LINK — Live Calls:...
Farce
For some reason I don’t have complete faith in this vote audit they’re performing in Arizona. For one thing, hardly anyone heard of Cyber Ninjas, the company that’s performing the audit, before this farce commenced. For another, the company is named “Cyber Ninjas.” That’s like going with a wealth management firm called...
We’re now at that strange nexus where Brian Kilmeade’s attempt to pin Prince Phil’s death on the granddaughter-in-law fits other anti-semitic and racist tropes fronted by Fox News. This because of counting artifacts in threes. “The New York Time’s (NYT) Upshot examined the statistical prevalence of celebrity deaths in threesomes. How did they do...
Actually, had Spielberg reduced the running time, the film 1941 might have been a classic. The classic film history teaching exercise would be to edit it down to 2 hours. Craig Lindsey’s article argues for the Pogo conclusion that the enemy is us when we allow fear to take over. 2020 did that...
One hopes that after the farce of a Trump impeachment acquittal, that criminal proceedings begin in all of the relevant venues. We have already seen how Trump uses lawfare delaying tactics with even less aplomb than Mitch McConnell. We can also be assured that within the year, the numerous right-wing militants will...
Received this e-mail today from former presidential candidate, Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D. TX) and his organization, Powered By People: Texas is at the center of the constitutional crisis that will play out in our nation’s capital today. The latest lurch towards authoritarianism — Donald Trump trying to shake down Georgia’s...
On the sixth of January Congressional Republicans will make a farce of American democracy live and direct before the whole world. I know many Americans don’t care, some even doubt it exists and anyway it’s furrin parts. As an expat all I want to do is hide and cry, no...
It’s not rivulets of dung cascading down the ruddy cheeks of Narnia’s mayor, but it’s pretty effing embarrassing nonetheless. Sidney Powell, the super lawyer who was too insane even for Trump, is ratcheting up the kookaburra cray-cray a notch, now that she’s no longer restrained by the bounteous gravitas of Rudy...
As we watch Rudy Giuliani’s last marble circle the sanitarium shower drain where they hose down the real hard-luck patients, it’s important to note that his lurid side show is just that — a bad-faith effort to convince idiots that there’s actually something to Donald Trump’s protracted loser tantrum. But it’s...
Show Up and Vote. There’s only one more day of poorly fashioned shtick to free-ticket crowds, of whom at least 700 have died at super-spreader rallies. Uncounted ballots should be the media framing for the next weeks. That’s why media figures should emphasize percentages of uncounted ballots. Ordinarily, as votes are counted,...
The dirtiest trick might be parody, especially as Roger Stone will get his federal sentence commuted by Trump even as history might be first tragedy, then repeated as farce. Perhaps Stone will get Trump’s face tattooed on his chest. The first draft of history or the revisionist, bowdlerized version of it,...
One of the biggest mysteries in the universe — more vexing than the search for a unified field theory — is how in the hell Donald Trump got into Wharton, one of the most prestigious business schools in the world. Well, Mary Trump’s upcoming book, Too Much and Never Enough, about her...
Show of Farce. Peaceful protest in the day, now earlier curfews. x JUST CONFIRMED: Denver Police seized these guns and tactical gear from two men who showed up to the protest on Friday. One of them, Chevy McGee, tells me he didn't break any laws. McGee is part of the...
What do you have to lose, except your money and your life. 18,000 lies can’t be wrong. Trump inherited Obama's recovered economy and when Trump faced a serious challenge, chose to destroy it. Now he wants to promise something other than more of the same chaos and incompetence. Co-dependent Nation, because...
Given what just happened in WI, Pelosi and Schumer must draw a line on funding for mail in ballots this fall. Moscow Mitch is going to fight this with every fiber of his satanic being because more people voting means Republicans will lose. Trump said so. And Pelosi and Schumer...
COVID-19 is not like the seasonal flu, among other things. The above chart should end all comments about it being “just like the flu”. Remember that 0.6% of the US population has been tested for COVID-19. And Howard Dean is the first to announce that he’ll not go on MSNBC as...
Okay, this isn’t funny anymore. Whatever wormhole or computer simulation or tripping shaman’s asshole I’m stuck in right now, I want to let whoever’s in charge of it know we can end this veil of illusions ASAP. I can’t take it anymore. Let’s just stop this ayahuasca shart of a...
I’ve been in San Francisco for the three day weekend so playing a little catch-up today. I received a few e-mails in support of Progressive Jessica Cisneros (D. TX-28) in her bid to unseat Blue Dog Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D. TX-28). The first is from former San Antonio Mayor,...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR) on behalf of Democracy for America: The recent impeachment trial was a farce: when we were tasked with trying Donald Trump’s impeachment, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans denied us access to witnesses and documents. Instead of a full and...
Former Senator Claire McCaskill and Ari Melber of MSNBC provided some background on why Senate Republicans didn’t end the impeachment trial of Trump today. First up, McCaskill was texted by a senator that Trump demanded that the trial end NOW, NOW, NOW! And Trump true believers in the Senate pushed...
New story up from the Washington Post: Senate Democrats privately mull witness trade in impeachment trial: A Biden for Bolton Several Senate Democrats are privately discussing the possibility of calling Republicans’ bluff on witnesses, weighing an unusual trade in President Trump’s impeachment trial: the testimony of Hunter Biden for the...
Manufactured facts, fresh from Eastern Europe, as Rudy Giuliani and One America News (OAN) tries to invent alternate truth in the Arms for Dirt scandal.

Inspector Clouseau is back from his farce-finding trip to Ukraine, and he tells Donald Trump that he found more than Trump “can imagine.” I don’t think he fully comprehends the depth and breadth of Trump’s imagination, but whatever. Donald Trump will believe anything, so long as he wants to believe it....
Congressman Steve Cohen called out MSNBC live on air about fully airing the Republican engine of lies not only about impeachment but about the recent IG Report. Congressman Steve Cohen admonishes the media x x YouTube Video “I found it unbelievable listening to that press conference you put on for...
There are misnomers in this great big wide country of ours. One is that non-voting minorities, young people and women, are responsible for the election of Donald Trump. Barack Obama was elected with unprecedented numbers of blacks, Latinos, and young people between 18-29. That record-breaking support returned to normal levels...
On July 27, 2016 Donald Trump asked the Russians to help him defeat Hillary Clinton. The infamous comment by Mr. Trump was “I will tell you this: Russia if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, I think you will probably be rewarded...
Here we have another indictment of the collapse and corruption of the mainstream Media: the rehabiliation tour of Steve Schmidt on MSNBC. While his friends in the Media are giving him a bear hug, my memory still works. And I have Google. Schmidt crapped all over the Democratic Party with...
Received this e-mail today from Rep. Adam Schiff (D. CA-28) in support of Sara Gideon’s (D. ME) U.S. Senate campaign: Rep. Adam Schiff (D. CA-28) Brett Kavanaugh should not have been confirmed to the Supreme Court. Almost one year ago, we heard the courageous and gut-wrenching testimony of Dr. Christine...
In a presidency marked by incoherent pronouncements and bizarre visions of grandeur, Donald Trump seemed to reach new, troubling heights last week. He referred to himself as “the chosen one.” He quoted a rabid conspiracy theorist radio host who declared that Israeli Jews love Trump as if he were the “King...
Don’t think the ratfuckers are still hard at work trying to elevate Donald Trump and smear Democrats? Well, take a gander at this: x Trollbots we are tracking are continuing to amplify the #ClintonBodyCount hashtag. You can use Bot Sentinel's trending topics date/time filter to see just how quickly the...
Shortly after 5 PM Monday, Robinson’s column for Tuesday’s Washington Post, titled Republicans embrace Trump’s racism. Blame them as much as him., went live. It is well worth the read. Robinson begins with a two-sentence paragraph Donald Trump’s presidency is melting down into a noxious stew of racism, failure and...
Historical events occur twice, Karl Marx famously said, first as tragedy and then as farce. But when it comes to the rampant lawlessness of Republican presidential administrations, the record is a succession of national tragedies for the United States. And the damage to America’s democratic institutions is no laughing matter....
OK, look, I know that I’m not the sharpest scalpel on the surgical tray, but even I can see a pattern emerging when it’s a 20’x20’ checkerboard. In several recent articles, I have talked about the changeover in the House control putting upward pressure on McConnell, as well as Trump....
NBC News White House counsel Don McGahn, who has shepherded Kavanaugh's nomination since president Trump chose him for the high court on July 9, is taking the lead for the White House in dealing with the FBI on the investigation, those involved in the process told NBC News. “A U.S....
Some dare call it perjury. I went to the University of Wisconsin in the early ‘80s, around the same time the famously weak-stomached Brett Kavanaugh was painting New Haven orange with his vomit, and if there had been a popular drinking game called the Devil’s Triangle, I would have known...
Conservative columnist and Ethics and Public Policy Center Judge Whisperer Ed Whelan posted a bizarre alt-reality Twitter thread yesterday positing that Brett Kavanaugh did not attempt to rape Christine Blasey Ford but that a prep school classmate of Kavanaugh who looked something nothing like him… oops, wrong photo… actual doppelganger. ….did,...
The Mr. Frog’s Wild Ride of democracy we are going through is making my head spin three different directions at once. It seems like there is little doubt at this point that Kavanaugh lied to Congress, easily proven. We like to make the argument that in the United States no...
By now, we all likely have heard about Rudy Giuliani’s absurd “truth isn’t truth” argument on this Sunday’s Meet the Press: RUDY GIULIANI: . . . . And when you tell me that, you know, [Trump] should testify because he’s going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, well that’s so...
Think Progress has this article about how Zuckerberg won’t really do anything about fake news, such as banning Holocaust deniers: “I’m Jewish, and there’s a set of people who deny that the Holocaust happened. I find that deeply offensive. But at the end of the day, I don’t believe that...

Some say why are the campaigns/debates not talking about climate change? I reply looking at the bullshit going around here and elsewhere that climate change is of little or no import for those too busy having fun throwing the dirt. Why ask important questions when one can squabble about photographs?...
With some supporters putting me off any candidate. The final straw is the DNC data fiasco, nobody appears to have done anything illegal such as hacking, the data storage was insecure. The mistake was not dealing with it in house, but oh no, it was much more fun to throw...
