Big thanks to Andrew Feinberg correspondent for Breakfast Media for this account of Trump’s conversation with the troops today, some of which could be tacked onto the articles of impeachment. Jesus.

The return of the spend-and-not-tax Republicans

Like a recurring biblical plague, they descend across the country. Despite the repeated warnings from both experts and lay persons of good faith and common sense, the media and tens of millions of people are nevertheless still shocked by their arrival. As predicted, they devastate everything in their path, leaving...

KY Republican Congressman Barr Would Rather Talk About Kavanaugh Than Trump's Treason.

I find the fact that it took Republican Congressman Andy Barr of the KY-6th District several days to finally comment on Trump’s Helsinkis Fiasco and then try to change the topic to Amy McGrath’s opposition to Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS interesting. Republicans were responding to a Facebook post McGrath made...

Unprecedented spite: The American carnage of the GOP health care bill

In December 2003, Democrats in Congress overwhelmingly opposed President Bush’s Medicare Part D prescription drug program. With good reason. The new benefit included the infamous “donut hole,” a gap in coverage which still saddled many seniors with out-of-pocket costs for their prescriptions. Making matters worse for 45 million elderly and...

I know some will hate this, but…HRC should have picked Sanders as her VP. That's the future lesson

I say some will hate this because the Clinton v. Sanders wars have been litigated endlessly here. But, so what? That is what a Democratic political web site should have been doing all along. I only bring this up because I see the renewed interest in “what went wrong?” analysis...

Oligarchical Militocracy

When we don’t vote for war, and our wars are both economic and militaristic what else fits? We still have a sort of democracy, where we get to vote for our representatives every now and then. Where it falls apart is that our representatives can’t even be bothered to vote...
