Holiday – The Politicus

Ted Cruz makes light of his winter Cancun trip. Twitter reminds him that he's the joke

You could say Ted Cruz is about as funny as a debilitating brain parasite, but that would be imprecise. He’s as funny as a brain parasite attempting to do prop comedy at 1 a.m on a Wednesday at a Sioux Falls Holiday Inn. In other words, much less funny than your workaday...

Exurban sprawl libertarians become a tasty treat as Trump campaign tries to kill its own voters

Negligence is not a feature of libertarianism but it is a tasty bug as the Trump campaign ignores local ordinances and continues to spread the pandemic, mainly in smaller US cities that have large enough airport hangars. The Trump strategy of herd immunity will kill over a half-million people before a...

Joe Biden has some tough words about Trump today: Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden called Trump's actions “half-baked.” “This is no art of the deal,” Biden said in a statement. “This is not presidential leadership.

144 days left for Lando Cotton to name the Obelisk of Wokeness as the GOP goes for distraction

The Obelisk of Wokeness actually sounds kind...
