Room Rater is now being used as a throwaway line for happy-talk television, so this Twitter site that rates the backgrounds we use for our Skype/Zoom conversations now draws our attention. The reality is that most backgrounds are just that, even as their detail is a measure of the quality of...

Trump is no Nixon, but like Nixon, he could still win a second term, extending the latest national nightmare. x Going back further, the Kerner Commission reported in 1968 that frustration over racism and policing had been at the center of the riots in Newark and Detroit. President Nixon pivoted...
The GOP is playing slow and tight with the truth as Monday in the Judiciary committee begins at 9am ET with more televised testimony. Corrupt intent is in the solicitation regardless of the outcome of the bribery. There’s obstruction of Congress, definitely and obstruction of justice no different than that...
Yes, Max Boot is a conservative. But despite his Republican roots, he’s been one of Donald Trump’s fiercest and most consistent critics. That makes him useful — at least for the time being. And yesterday, he once again blew holes in the fragrant hunk of Swiss cheese that used to be...
Because at this point, Individual-1 knows he has the impeachment acquittal votes, could Trump come before the Senate to make what would be a campaign speech. Trump doesn’t have to appear, but it seems more likely that with a GOP majority unwilling to have defections, Trump would try to spike the...
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...
Some stochastic terroirism(sic) this morning as we approach another important week of some historic events that still boil down to some rather simple impeachable actions. Welcome to dysfunctional palooza-also known as The Donald Trump administration. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/ELk0lwYSZc — Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) November 10, 2019 I’ll be on @ReliableSources around...
Gonna be busy days for Rudy and the Three Amigos, as his agitprop materials sent to the State department become more available. Trump's Russian ambassador nominee confirms Giuliani led smear campaign against former Ukraine ambassador https://t.co/y5Gwri7AVs — Newsweek (@Newsweek) October 31, 2019 With the alleged smear campaign in mind and...
As we wait for more whistle-blower news and an inevitable flurry of Trumpian disinformation and diversions, we need to review that Trump’s impeachable offense in Ukraine was also a move in a corruption history favoring Russia back through Manafort. Trump’s hold on Congressional aid to Ukraine also favored a Russian-backed rebel buildup...
Michael Cohen’s testimony today was by no means good for Donald Trump, even if Cohen claims he never went to Prague. In fact, based on what Cohen told the committee, he’s committed at least five felonies, according to conservative columnist and frequent Trump critic Max Boot. They are: 1. Conspiracy to defraud...
Sure, Max is wrong about a lot of things but he’s right about this…. Washington Post “On Friday, the New York Times reported that “in the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether...
Granted, none of the three — Max Boot, Kathleen Parker, and Jennifer Rubin — has been other than a critic of Trump. But having all three on the same webpage of one of the nation’s most important newspapers (and one read by Congressional types), perhaps carries a little more weight?...
