We haven’t gotten past the angst-ridden discourse of privilege and buoyancy even in law schools. Then again E. Jean Carroll really wants that DNA sample from Trump and only good lawyers are going to make that happen. The Georgetown law school said Sandra A. Sellers, an adjunct professor, had been terminated,...

Even Fox News is getting sick of this shit: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has been using his airtime on Fox News to appeal for more money from viewers. But it seems the right-wing network may have had enough. Graham, who is locked in a tight race against Democratic challenger Jaime...
Assuming that there will be some violent provocations, we should encourage all deescalation efforts for election week, regardless of the vote outcomes. We’ve now seen the potential for serious planned electoral violence with the attempts on the governor of Michigan and the mayor of Wichita. We’ve also seen long-term confrontations in...
If Donald Trump had his way, the government would be shipping cases of Mountain Dew Baja Blast — with “Acme COVID Vaccine” written on them — to clinics across the country within the next two weeks. Because he doesn’t have the patience or intelligence to formulate a coherent COVID-19 strategy,...

Trump said if there were 100,000 deaths, “then we’ll have done a good job”. Low-Information Individualism may continue among the Trumpist population to November. There will be more conflicts on mask policies, as if resistance was a pro-Trump statement. And the death toll will likely rise. “We’ll have done a...

Today’s Trump WH presser apparently repurposed his canceled NH campaign speech of 50 minutes, and took 10 minutes of questions. Waste not, want not. Who wants that hour back: Trump produced more gibberish and barely mentioned the COVID19 pandemic, and spent most of his time attacking Biden. Even Daniel Dale, CNN’s...
From Sam Brodey at The Daily Beast: Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has been the object of liberal ire since her 2018 vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Now in a tight re-election fight, whatever hopes she might have had of putting that episode behind her were dashed this week,...

The Atlantic has a good piece out about the upcoming U.S. Senate race between incumbent U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R. SC) and former South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison (D. SC). It’s worth the read but Adam Harris emphasizes how Harrison could pull off an upset win: When we...

As our liberal democracy decays into tyranny faster than Lindsey Graham responds to the coo of Trump’s velvety, dying-hyena voice, it’s nice to see that many people in this country still respect and understand our values: x Sustained standing ovation for Marie Yovanovich at Georgetown University where she accepted the...
The Trump campaign’s media strategy will more directly address “local news” that at some moment might trade on the same model of Sinclair Broadcasting. Brad Parscale described it as “fighting with the local papers”. Information spam and the Trump campaign could have much more in common this year, since the...
As President Trump’s legal team wrapped up its impeachment defense on Tuesday, all eyes turned to the issue of witnesses. But whether or not the mounting revelations surrounding former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s upcoming book are sufficient to spur Republican defections in the Senate, there is little doubt Donald...
Democratic Jackie Speier had to be traumatized when Devin Nunes called Dems a cult.

I really have been wanting to give Speaker Nancy Pelosi the benefit of the doubt on handling the issue of any impeachment of Trump, but after hearing her arguments against starting an impeachment inquiry, I’m convinced she has no grand strategy. According to Kelly O’Donnell and Politico, Pelosi has stated...
Oh, you mean you can’t just propagate false and malicious conspiracy theories to damage your political opponents without facing real consequences?

Depending upon how you calculate it, the KY-6th is R+9 to +10.5 and went for Trump by 15 percentage points in 2016. Yet, here is Speaker of the House Paul Ryan coming in to campaign for Republican Congressman Andy Barr. He is going to the Toyota plant in Georgetown, KY. ...
It’s difficult to see unless you click on the tweet below, but the entry the little yellow hand is pointing to says “Killer Qs and 151.” It’s from the Georgetown Prep yearbook entry of Brett Kavanaugh’s friend and classmate Donald Urgo.

What happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep Brett Kavanaugh What a total crock of shit that statement is. It’s also an illuminating glimpse into the mindset of the rich. What it says is that the pampered, rich, entitled youth of America will do or say nothing that...
Brett Kavanaugh is having quite a week. The latest? One of the 64 women who signed onto the (in)famous letter of support for Kavanaugh that appeared almost instantly after Christine Blasey Ford made her allegations against the beleaguered SCOTUS nom is more or less backing away from her endorsement. According to The New York Times,...
This has bearing on the witness/participant in the sexual assault on Christine Balsy Ford: Mark Judge. According to Ronan Farrow’s New Yorker article: Ford’s allegation has made Judge a potentially pivotal witness for Kavanaugh. Judge told The New Yorker that he had “no recollection” of such an incident. Judge, who is a...
UPDATE: And BOOM goes the dynamite.

While I was writing my latest diary about Trump’s plan to place a 20% tariff on auto parts imports from the EU, I had wondered if those proposed tariffs would have an impact on the Toyato plant in Georgetown, KY. Remember, Kentuckians LOVE us some Trump! Well, seems I got...
