inaugural – The Politicus

WOW! Tucker Carlson Boldly Defends Tobacco (and Cancer?) as the 'Most American of All Pleasures'

The insanity of the Donald Trump Republican Party and its official Ministry of Disinformation (aka Fox News) has descended to a new and reprehensible low. The GOP's new majority in the House of Representatives, under House Squeaker Kevin McCarthy, wasted no time establishing itself as a rabidly rightist confederacy of...

Sabotage the Process, Then Run on It

Either the political acumen of the voter is in dire need of reeducation, or Democrats need lessons in exploiting a golden opportunity. Republicans publicly pull off political tricks without recrimination. They manipulate the public with chicanery, walk away, and brag about it later. At the beginning of the Biden administration,...

“Their stupid is always bigger than their evil” in an ex-POTUS's hope for military coup

Banana Republic is not yet a bankrupt concept in America, although it is being sorely tested. Trump’s 1/6 coup counted on the numbers of RWNJs in the US military, including some QAnon-influenced former National Security and ex-DoD/Military. The hint at the misuse of federal personnel was foreshadowed in the Summer...

Trump brings a perfectly stable end to his campaign by misnaming rapper Lil Pump

Because Trump has the best words, rappers who complain about their tax bills do have political preferences and endorsements, because gangsta. “All I gotta say is Trump 2020 b*tch.” x In Michigan, Trump gives a shout-out to Lil Pump, calling him “Little Pimp.”— Josh Wingrove (@josh_wingrove) November 3, 2020 x pic.twitter.com/SdG6wbKYYw —...

In less than 90 years, we’ve gone from “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” to “the only thing we have is fear itself.” FDR’s first inaugural address, in 1933 at the depth of the Great Depression, contained one of the all-time great lines in American history....

Vichy GOP collaboration: why have Republican leaders abandoned their principles for #BunkerBoy

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) shouts while questioning Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill September 27, 2018 in Washington, DC. - University professor Christine Blasey Ford, 51, told a tense Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that could make or break Kavanaugh's nomination she was "100 percent" certain he was the assailant and it was "absolutely not" a case of mistaken identify.

It’s worth reading Anne Applebaum’s Atlantic article “History Will Judge the Complicit”, or does the GOP wish to reveal the truth of conservative principles as oxymoron. “The question now is whether the old American mantras, the appeals to traditions of democracy and the rule of law, still work—or whether they have...

Trump’s hatred of Barack Obama is long and well-documented, from his attempts to find the “real birth certificate” to his dismantling of anything Obama had accomplished just because it was Obama who had done it.
