'You've done nothing wrong': Virginia cop canned after donating to Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund

You know, I’m happy they were able to take Kyle Rittenhouse into custody after he allegedly shot and killed two people during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year. That’s the way these things are supposed to go. I just wish conservatives didn’t feel the need to turn him into a...

Knee on the Throat, Foot on the Gas?

I watched the celebration of former police officer Derek Michael Chauvin’s conviction of three various counts of murder yesterday, and my feelings were mixed. No, no, I felt no sorrow for the man who not only took George Floyd’s life away but broke the hearts of countless Americans, both black...

I'm Relieved, But I'm Not Celebrating

Derek Chauvin has been found guilty on all three counts of murdering George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds, knowing that people were filming him doing so, looking at those cameras with his hands in his pockets and no expression on his face. “Depraved...

Kayleigh McEnany doesn't like presidents who inflame tensions, scolds Biden for his Chauvin comments

Irony died years ago, but former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has decided to exhume its corpse and drag it through town behind a team of bath salts-besotted Clydesdales.

Fighting for our Lives

Fifteen years ago, black suspect, Neal Mack gasped for breath, using the all too familiar words “I can’t breathe.” Mr. Mack was handcuffed and having his life drained from his body by a chokehold applied by officer Greg Kwiatkowski before being pulled away. Mr. Mack’s life was saved by black...

Stephen Miller to write Trump's speech on race relations; no, seriously

Trump adviser, virulent racist, and bleach-damaged gimp costume Stephen Miller is preparing a White House speech on … oh, just read the tweet. x Stephen Miller, who crafted @realDonaldTrump immigration policy at the southern border, including separating families and caging children, is preparing a @WhiteHouse speech on race relations. @aurnonline #AURN report...

New ad, 'They lie, you die,' unravels administration's latest whoppers

Trump has a new Mouth of Sauron, and she’s picked up where Spicey, Sarah Huckleberry Slanders, and the Invisible Woman Whatshername left off. And this new ad from Meidas Touch really does a great job of shining a klieg light on her elisions and outright lies. It’s hot off the press....

NYT: Bush, Romney won't support Trump; Colin Powell will vote for Biden

To be sure, I am not a fan of George W. Bush, no matter how many candies he hands Michelle Obama. But if Bush was a big, jagged kidney stone that took eight years to pass, Donald Trump is a large cache of unexploded Korean War ordnance lodged in my...

CO GOP Rep Dave Williams posts totally legit flyer left behind by “protesters”…

Trumpian Colorado Rep. Dave Williams posted a flyer on his Twitter feed that he claims was found at the Colorado capitol building. Dave isn’t the sharpest tack in the box. x Apparently, this flyer was found outside the CO Capitol during the Ã¢Â€ÂœpeacefulÃ¢Â€Â protests. Obviously, this is unacceptable to say...

Still, Battle at Seattle: “whose streets? Our streets!” Portland has a “sacred fence”

There still are protests with violent activity still motivated by police action. In this case, Seattle Washington and Portland Oregon, where Trumpist sentiment prevails in their police forces. They think the use of force will pacify an urban population that does not see itself as being occupied, as though resistance...

robbing pawn shops and gun stores has nothing to do with BLM / antifa: Three dead so far.

There are reasons on the one hand for police brutality in terms of being paranoid about armed protesters but the reality is that there is no armed insurrection and more likely opportunists are doing conventional robberies of drug stores, pawn shops, and gun stores, mostly far away from demonstrations. Three have died...

A day after WaPo wrote about people penetrating Trump's wall, Trump claimed it's impenetrable

During the Sad Man Rambles Show yesterday, Donald Trump brain-farted out something about his vanity wall, which has evoked a steady stream of lies and misinformation since he first claimed Mexico would pay for it. At around minute 37 of his speech — while most of the White House press corps...

darn that antifa, assaulting them fascists everywhere this weekend in historical memory

Darn that relying on the justice system to confront the far-right. American Spring only closes as a season.

Being from Wisconsin, I’ve been a fan of the Green Bay Packers most of my life. Starting at the age of 8, I’ve followed the team — with varying degrees of enthusiasm — since the ‘70s. I watched them win Super Bowl XXXI and Super Bowl XLV, but I’ve never...

Trump's tear gas photo-op was 'frightening' to authoritarianism experts, who warn that his behavior will only get worse without 'fierce opposition’. One example of the problem for an opposition is that Los Angeles protesters who get arrested will be given a citation with a fine of $1000. x Armed soldiers against...
