One of the more despicable senators in the US Senate now acknowledges that climate change is real after four years of kissing Trump’s ass as the know-nothing did all he could do to derail the fight against climate change and kill life on the planet. Better late than never, but words...

Is Lindsey Graham for real? No, that’s a serious question. Because he looks like a Rankin-Bass Claymation character to me.

Apparently Lindsey Graham was none too concerned about the galaxy-sized gap in our nation’s credibility after he voted to acquit Donald John Trump—twice—of eminently impeachable offenses. Moreover, he’s not terribly concerned about gaps in health coverage, or in our previous pr*sident’s response to COVID-19. Though he does appear determined to...

On the evening of January 6, in the aftermath of the Capitol riots, Donald Trump’s fave toady, Lindsey Graham, said this: “All I can say is, count me out. Enough is enough. … It is over.”  To me that sounded like this unabashed lickspittle was giving up either the lick...

It’s always been obvious to people with more than a cursory understanding of politics that Republicans only pretend to care about working people and small business owners.
