Republicans swing the word freedom over the heads of their voters like the Sword of Damocles. It has become a meaningless mantra, cutting away real freedoms like affordable housing, healthcare, pay equity, and a clean environment. Freedom for a majority of Republicans has translated into the freedom to kill their...

So Rudy “Up From His Head Come a Bubblin’ Crude” Giuliani, who represented Donald Trump in his effort to overturn the 2020 election, is now learning where Trump’s loyalties really lie—i.e., with the Adderall fairies whispering in his ear 24/7 about the impudent hobgoblins trying steal his pouch of magic beans. Uh, Donald...
If the Ministerium für Staatsicherheit (Ministry for State Security) had had a crystal ball 40 years ago they would have promoted capitalism, the sheer amount of information people are willing to give away for free would have made their job so easy. Now in a functioning democracy that would be...
I tossed this thought out at the end of my previous diary, New Reports on How Trump Fleeced – and is Still Fleecing – His Base, but the more I think about it, the more I think this is something the DNC or some similar group should look into, so I’m...
Ann Coulter tells Texas crowd “a second term of Trump would have killed us”: “I'm glad he lost” “It's like he didn't know he was president..” He didn’t. These remain dangerous times, but they will get better. Looking back will always bring salty tears. x Robbie Kaplan, my attorney, is the woman who's going to make...
x Biden: “We both know tensions are high. They can be high after a tough election…But remember, we have to remain calm, patient. Let the process work out as we count all the votes…your vote will be counted. I do not care how hard people try to stop it. I...
x Biden: “I’m not going to make any news today. I’m not going to talk about anything other than 9/11. We took all our advertising down. It’s a solemn day. That’s how we’re going to keep it, OK? You can determine whether I make news but I’m not going to...
Repeat Trump’s horrendous words and then play Good Night you Stupid People. Then play Andy Griffith in an interview prediciting it could happen and LP saying. “It is happening” Go off with Trump saying Losers. x x YouTube Video We should all be in Operation Landslide. It would make a...
Details from Stephanie Winston Wolkoff’s upcoming Melania Trump tell-all, Melania and Me, are leaking out like whatever that viscous nightmare fluid under Don Jr.’s eye was the other night. Seriously, what the fuck was that? Writing for Vanity Fair, Emily Jane Fox dishes some of the details. Spoiler alert: These people are...
The only good thing with NYT’s access journalists like Maggie Haberman and Annie Karnie is they sometimes pan one golden nut of truth from the cesspool of disinformation that flows from Trump’s mouth and his campaign: the facts from the Tulsa Rally disaster hit Trump square in the face. The President’s...
Donald Trump sees fraud everywhere because he is, at root, a fraud. Cheaters always suspect their significant others of cheating. Thieves worry about getting ripped off. Con men think everyone else is a grifter, too. Liars think no one in the universe is fundamentally honest. This is just how psychopaths roll....
Paul Waldman at WaPo hits the latest version of the post-prime-time presser Trump show, as Kayleigh “Kayfabe” McEnany does another Vanna White presser. The last six months of Trump terror a.k.a. Bachelor-Grifter's Price is Reich will feature Individual-1 doing his impression of Thurston Howell on Gilligan-Epstein’s Island. Ignore that second...
The slow roll of Trumpian disinforming contradictions now appears in the WH daily briefing dominated by a Trump jonesing for a campaign rally. His unhingery is now on full display with the structure of usual falsehoods and lies. Those used to his puffery in his campaign rallies are now seeing...
Donald Trump is king of the bungle, but he’s not, in any formal sense, a monarch. That didn’t stop him from suggesting it this morning in a tweet, though: x …..biggest test of his presidency emboldened, ready to claim exoneration, and take his case of grievance, persecution and resentment to...
A Kurd is a Kurd is a Kurd, right? I’m sure Trump thinks this is close enough. I mean, how many categories of foreigners is he supposed to keep straight in his steamy Jiffy Pop head? x DoesnâÂÂt get more humiliating than this. Trump is in a meeting with the...
While not an AI algorithm, “Anonymous”, a White House insider who wrote a NY Times op-ed and now a book titled “A Warning” didn’t get a good reception in Reddit. The author decided to do a book promotion by presenting themselves in AMA: “Ask Me Anything” this evening in Reddit, and...
My takeaway from the opening of the Congressional Impeachment hearings this morning was that we do not need an average John in the Oval Office. For years and years, primarily men, have slapped themselves on their backs sitting on a diner stool, in front of water coolers at work, and...
For some Trumpers, not even the spawn is racist enough for some of its followers in 2020. Still early days, but Trumpism may be in the beginning stages of base fracturing among its Christian nationalists and its GOP conservatives primarily on how racist they should be. No Night of the Long Knives...
As many of you know, the filibuster has been the top issue for me in the 2020 Democratic Primary. I support Elizabeth Warren because she has called for eliminating the archaic 60 vote rule that has constantly killed progress time and time again. Her, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Julian Castro,...
ROFL at how hypocritical this bag of orange bones really is. I did not know Individual # 1 had a pastor. Paula White ( a televangelist from Florida) will be joining the White House to advise THE ONE. Really? This woman is nuttier than a fruit cake missing a few...
There is an article up at 538 that shows Warren improved her net favoribility rating among Democrats after the two debates. Warren is popular, de Blasio is underwater 2020 Democratic candidates ranked by their net favorability ratings among Democratic respondents, according to an average of national polls conducted Aug. 1...
The Washington Post’s editorial board is not pulling any punches in the wake of Attorney General William Barr’s craven, self-serving testimony today. In fact, according to the venerable paper, Barr has done no less than torch his reputation. Just a sampling: Mr. Barr has lit his reputation on fire, and he...
I can already see how this is going to go. The mainstream media, in a rush to show “balance,” will elevate every picayune Democratic peccadillo they can find in order to put those candidates on an equal footing with our amoral grifter-in-chief. In case you needed another grim reminder, this...
Appears that the grifter Ann Coulter is persona non grata with Trump supporters. “It’s frustrating,” Coulter said at a luncheon in Florida, according to the Palm Beach Post. “I can’t talk to Trump detractors because, as the subtitle to my last book indicated, they’re insane. I can’t talk to the Trump flatterers...
So says Andrew McCabe in his book as told to him by an FBI agent present in a July 2017 intel briefing in the White House. The Vox article that points to the book passage, and McCabe’s interview with Lawrence O’Donnell, during which he repeated the claim, points out that McCabe has...
Nah, I ain’t talking about Ghouliani’s oral farts on the Sunday morning talking head smorgasbord, that’s just the same old shit in a different colored tie.And I’m not talking about his desperate paddlefooting on Monday, what I like to call the “Giuliani Box Step,” dancing back to where he started....
