'It's a huge scam': Trump is using political donations to prop up wobbly Trump Tower

Eric Trump says God made Daddy president in 2016, took a break in 2020, and will help again in 2024

'Trump has never actually been wrong': The MAGA cult has eaten the Republican Party
I used to occasionally argue with MAGAs before I realized I’d have better luck trying to convince Wile E. Coyote not to jump off the cliff in his Acme Batman Suit. He always jumps, and it […]
A Weird Path to the Acceptance of Self.

“brushing history against the grain”… what did happen to a purse made from Nat Turner's skin
A new book suggests now the necessity of reexamining the historical materialist project of Walter Benjamin recognizing those moments of historical contact as acts of recognizing the constructed historical object. “Historicism tends to be hermeneutic because it values […]
Ted Cruz decries “Democrats' violence” because of his failed violent GQP insurrection
The usual Cruz hypocrisy, the pot calling the kettle violent. Because the final term of Ted Cruz will feature more nonsense serving corporate energy interests among other contradictions. He’s flailing about today with the latest […]
Colorado Republican makes lynching joke before whitesplaining the Three-Fifths Compromise
I’m not sure if I liked Republicans better when they were secretly racist or if it’s better now that they’ve decided to wear their racism on their sleeves. Seriously, the way Tucker Carlson is going lately, […]
Hey, hey, the DOJ is suing Roger Stone for tax he (probably) didn't pay

Republican congressman claims corporations standing up for voting rights is 'fascism'
Wait, I’m confused. I thought we lived in a free-market democracy in which corporations are “people” with sacrosanct “opinions” (which, for some reason, usually come in the form of gobs and gobs of campaign cash). […]
Disgraced televangelist is now using his show to warn about literal zombies

Minerva @ Midnight: 1941 was a bad year like 2020, then there's Gaetz's friend Molly
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 […]
Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals that the cure for COVID-19 is … pumping iron!
This is weird for a lot of reasons. First of all, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s superhero, Pervert Hoover, thinks exercise is bad for you. (Assuming it’s not golf, of course.) Secondly, if exercise reliably prevented COVID-19, all […]

In House hearing on extremism, Republican reveals he's been duped by military version of 'The Onion'
Most of us don’t think Bill Gates has uploaded Windows Vista into the COVID-19 vaccine, and we won’t give credence to inanities burped out by semi-ambulatory heaps of knob cheese who listen to demon sperm doctors instead of […]
“go on and on” – DC Statehood should be a package deal with PR
Not unlike addressing a conjoined Alaska and Hawai’i statehood, airports and car dealerships should be the least of criteria for statehood, and the 2.8 million Puerto Ricans should be part of the deal. “D.C. would be […]

Pastor on leave after telling America's wives to look hotter, like Melania Trump
