The simplest explanation for lawyer Michael Godwin’s law is that the longer a debate or disagreement extends, it will eventually devolve into an unfounded comparison to Hitler and the Nazis. Godwin’s Law is a current topic because of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Marjorie Taylor Greene may have decisively proved...

43 GQP co-conspirators have ensured their place in US political history. They allowed Trump to turn the US into a banana republic. To prevent Trump from holding office again, a simple majority of Congress must now pass a resolution invoking Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars anyone from...
As Steve Bannon is pardoned for scamming border wall money, he’s likely the new operative for a Trump political party to promote neo-fascism. Trump has trial ballooned it prior to leaving DC and its site of a recent insurrection. Bannon has been speaking with Trump in recent weeks. x Trump pardons Stephen...
Crime was at a 50 year low when Trump took office. Remember that Trump is all about declaring non-trump supporters (and voters) as “un-American”. x Hours after a man wearing a far-right group's hat was shot and killed during clashes in Portland, Oregon, President Trump used his Twitter account to...
Marine props, naturalized citizen props, and tonight it featured a guy charged with insider trading, who also claims that Trump, unlike Bill Clinton, is “the first Black president”. The GOP keeps thinking that if they refer to the pandemic in the past tense, that 180,000 deaths won’t matter as much. ...
The GOP national convention will be even more Trumpist than 2016 as many major party figures will not be participating. The list of speakers is more about trying to spin Trump success from so many failures as well as a brand promotion for post-presidency Trump enterprises. This infomercial will feature more...
“I’m the only thing standing between the American dream and total anarchy, madness and chaos.” Trump at the Council for National Policy Recalling that Mark Burnett wanted once to have Trump arrive at an event like Hitler at the Nuremburg rallies, next week’s GOP convention should have bombast to compensate...
In his latest screed, Trump made the usual nonsense claims, hoping to gain support from independents who might be afraid of PoC and poor people. Because no one’s heard of the FHA, Trump wants people in McMansions to vote for him, even if his claims about higher home prices is more about...
Monmouth University released their Georgia poll today. They found that both Joe Biden and Donald Trump are tied 47/47 but I wanted to bring attention to the polling in both the U.S. Senate races in Georgia: In the regularly scheduled U.S. Senate election, Republican incumbent David Perdue holds a 49%...
Trump went to another COVID “hotspot” and gave an infrastructure speech because it's that week again. CNN and MSNBC had the good taste not to broadcast it. Trump wore no mask, in violation of Atlanta policy. Strange how only GOP governors void local mask mandates, not coincidentally they have higher...
Apparently Trump thinks there’s something called “new far-left fascism”, whatever that is. Strange how the official excerpts didn’t include the really provocative elements of Trump’s speech, as Trump obsesses over Confederate monuments at the base of a sculpture made by a Klan member. Don Junior’s girlfriend Kimberley Guilfoyle tested positive...
Received this e-mail today from former presidential candidate, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D. IN), in support of Rep. Ben Ray Luján’s (D. NM) U.S. Senate campaign: Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D. NM) This election is the fight of our lives. I’m asking you to please donate $10 before Ben...
What do you have to lose, except your money and your life. 18,000 lies can’t be wrong. Trump inherited Obama's recovered economy and when Trump faced a serious challenge, chose to destroy it. Now he wants to promise something other than more of the same chaos and incompetence. Co-dependent Nation, because...
Trump tells an African-American Roundtable “What do you have to lose”. President Donald Trump said African American residents were experiencing historic economic prosperity before “we had the plague flow in from China” and disproportionately impact minority communities. Trump convened administration officials, local elected leaders and Detroit-area business owners at Ford...
Today’s presser had more Trump lies. Trump claimed that the numbers are now going down. They aren’t. The same press questions happened and Trump chose not to answer ones asking for specificity. Why can’t we get tested as easily as Trump. He didn’t answer that question. Trump repeats his same bafflegab,...
Because every “transition to greatness” wants you to assume you’re going to die soon. 80,000 deaths so far, on pace for 130,000 deaths by August, as Trump now promises a total of 95,000 deaths. https://twitter.com/SirsmokesGreen1/status/1259241103947169793?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw In a week when the novel coronavirus ravaged new communities across the country and the number...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jack Reed’s (D. RI) re-election campaign: First and foremost, I hope this email finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy. The spirit of community and the hard work of so many on the frontlines are a powerful reminder of our country's...
Well, I can’t add much to these pics as they speak for themselves. This is what humanity, love in action and real leaders look like. He has done more in his lifetime for good than anyone I can think of. This is a National Treasure. He will be 96...
So people are freaking out about whether we’ll have enough masks, ventilators, and other crucial medical equipment when COVID-19 cases peak in this country. It’s what one might call a hair-on-fire emergency. And yet the Trump administration is still acting as if everything will all work out somehow. A Saturday...
Now that it is almost a certainty that Senator Bernie Sanders will never become the President of the United States—although my timing is off; is it time to take a sober look at where he wanted to take the country? The rank and file Republicans get hung up on labels...
Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share a virtual kitchen table with other readers of Daily Kos who aren’t throwing pies at one another. Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked for supper…. Newcomers may notice that...
538 declared Biden the winner of the last debate, and Morning Consult’s poll of 5000 shows Biden ahead. x Biden received the highest marks from the debate, but his high pre-debate favorability rating means we expected a lot of voters to be predisposed to viewing his debate performance in a...
When Donald Trump does or says something as disgusting as the attack he made on the late Rep. John David Dingell Jr. Wednesday night, suggesting, to his wife Debbie among others, he may have gone to hell, Democrats immediately recoiled in disgust. He spewed this vile vitriol on the same...
Trump announces at a Pittsburgh shale conference that his wall will be built in Colorado. Senator Patrick Leahy observes that Trump could do it with a SharpieTM. https://twitter.com/MollyJongFast/status/1187138147949469703? More Trump lies in yet another quasi-campaign speech because he’s fracked. Trump is being introduced at the shale conference by campaign donor Harold...
x …She can never recover, and will never return to Greatness, under current Management. The Times is DEAD, long live The New York Times! â Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2019 x If you really want everybody at the New York Times to resign, you canâÂÂt just âÂÂcall forâÂÂ...
Kudos to ShareBlue for highlighting this: When it comes to doing something — anything — to address the gun violence crisis in America, Sens. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Thom Tillis (R-NC), two of the country's most vulnerable senators, are suddenly very committed to their monthlong August vacation. For the past two years, Ernst and...
< p style=”text-align:justify”>Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear, that there is a white America that he believes will save his version of ‘Us’ and his presidency. I have read story after story about the infighting that is tearing at the diversity seams of the Democratic party when the real...
It’s been noted ad nauseam that the bar has been lowered so far and so frequently for Donald J. Trump that some pundits will insist he looks “presidential” — no, they mean it this time — if he doesn’t crap in his own hand and start flinging said feculence at orphans. And guess...
Mitch McConnell, ladies and gentlemen: x As IâÂÂve said time and time again: Mindless obstruction is unacceptable. The only way this divided Congress will be able to choose greatness and deliver significant legislation is by focusing on — as President Trump put it — âÂÂcooperation, compromise, and the common good.âÂÂ...
Okay, he didn’t say “shitcan.” I said “shitcan.” Charlie Sykes is a good, decent Wisconsin boy, and I’m a pissed-off, half-rabid, raging Badger who’s had more than enough of the overt criminal enterprise that’s been implausibly passing itself off as an “administration.” I grew up in Wisconsin and lived most of my life...
Let’s be clear. Fox & Friends isn’t just some shit-kicking local morning show in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, giving out tips on where to find the best cheese curds and night crawlers. The actual president of the United States watches it every day, and gives it more credence than the CIA, FBI,...
Aretha Franklin, RIP I’m not an overly sentimental person, but this made me tear up a little. A great American artist. A great American singer-songwriter. A great American president and first lady. And they all come together in a mutual show of love and respect. It’s a poignant reminder of...
Happy birthday Abraham Lincoln! When Lincoln anniversaries come around I sometimes enjoy comparing the views of the first Republican president to the Republican party of today. Tax policies offer a stark contrast. Lincoln supported progressive income tax structures that asked the rich to pay their fair share. As a member...
