(Holding up a Bible in 2015) I meant to buy Greenland. I meant to propose nuking hurricanes. I meant to set myself up for ridicule and contempt by posing awkwardly with a Bible. The pandering will get worse, however poorly crafted by IMPOTUS*. Trump actually has held up the Bible...

Seb Gorka does more of his Trumpian silliness by attacking Jame Mattis because he told the truth about Trump. Seb got his PhD off the label of a can of corn. He is a member of an actual Nazi group. Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson “I'm not going to bother linking the...
In a plea to get the media to cover something else than the damning impeachment vote, a Denver conservative radio show host, Chuck Bonniwell, literally said on the air that he wished “a nice school shooting” would interrupt the coverage. Right up the road is Columbine High School, site of one of the...
Russia’s useful idiots are also proxies. In a bid to repeat 2016, the swing states will have third-party efforts as well as support for non-Democratic efforts. In this case the self-proclaimed “environmentalist” declares that he supports the Green Party, but not really. Like greenwashing, it’s bait-and-switch. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1185643744932106240? Jill Stein got more...
Perhaps it’s a magical history tour to famous fascist sites. Or maybe Mike needed a Rapture support animal on the flight. x Just in: Sebastian Gorka is traveling with @SecPompeo to Europe, @Abs_NBC reports. He was seen getting into a State Department van headed to Joint Base Andrews for departure—...
The Trumpists are trying anything that will draw your attention away from the 25 July “favor” request for dirt in exchange for releasing arms. The greatest irony is Trumpian claims that they were combating corruption (by being corrupt). x Cuomo to Rudy Giuliani: “Did you ask the Ukraine to investigate...
Press advocates scored an important legal victory this week when a U.S. District Court judge ordered the White House to reinstate media credentials to reporter Brian Karem, whose access had been stripped away by Donald Trump's team after a dust-up during a Rose Garden ceremony in July. There, former Trump aide...

A few years ago I wrote a post collecting some very well-turned quotations by writers attempting to describe the dysfunction and threat of the Republican Party. I wanted to add a worthy, new entry by Jeet Heer in the Nation, specifically describing White House aide and White Supremacist Stephen Miller:...
You may remember Brian Karem from his emotional clash with Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the administration’s family-separation policy. (“You’re a parent,” he famously noted at the time. “Don’t you have any empathy? Come on, Sarah, you’re a parent! Don’t you have any empathy for what these people are going through?”) Or...
So the guy who thinks vaccines cause autism and Alex Jones is a reputable journalist held a social media summit a couple of days ago. Really, it was an opportunity for a bunch of cranks to whine about being persecuted by (privately run) social media platforms for being unabashedly offensive...
Politico has a fun bit of schadenfreude-fluff on its website today. It’s a retrospective of the shittiest political predictions from 2018. Now, everyone screws up badly from time to time when it comes to predicting the future. I predicted the Packers would win the Super Bowl this year (as I...
Well, the silly old bastard finally went and did it. For almost the last 20 months now, El Pendejo Presidente has been blundering around in the Democracy China Shoppe, in his Ronald McDonald shoes, and waving his catchers mitt clad hands around, and he finally broke the merchandise. And now...
Suppose you were a movie reviewer who’d signed a nondisclosure agreement that bars you from criticizing anything Michael Bay produces. Wouldn’t you think it appropriate to mention that you’re legally bound to give him a pass by, say, the eighth graph of your seventh Tranformers review? Maybe just say, “Hey,...
