Let me start by saying no one—for or against—is in favor of abortion. Subjecting a woman and her partner to outside scrutiny from what is the most anguished-filled decision of their lives, is no business of any of ours to decide for any woman. One of the few tenets left...
Here’s the big news today out of California: The campaign to recall Gov.

If the previous guy doesn’t run, the 2024 POTUS field seems “wide-open” with dark horses, stalking horses, mudders, and nags. With a seven figure advance, the Pence memoir is going to need a lot of bulk purchasers. And we know how reliable John Bolton’s thinking has been. John Bolton, Donald...

However, like Rudy’s Four Seasons landscaping company stunt, apparently Project Lincoln among other never-Trumper organizations are also another cause of 1/6. Apparently, Steve Bannon is now the voice of reason, asking for proof. When the going gets tough, triangulate your disinformation. Because Mitt Romney is all about a revolutionary vanguard,...

The myriad investigations and impeachment of President Bill Clinton could be explained as direct power politics, but there was always a larger motivation that explained events.

Can’t say that I’m surprised: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday questioned the actions Jacob Blake took before the 29-year-old Black man was shot several times by a police officer in Kenosha, Wis., asking why Blake “didn’t yield.” Graham spoke at a press conference announcing the endorsement of the South Carolina Fraternal Order of...

Climate change denier Donald Trump has been credibly accused by his former DHS Chief of Staff (Miles Taylor) of ordering FEMA to withhold funds for California climate change victims during the aftermath of devasting wildfires in 2018.

It’s like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons is running for president. Or maybe Homer. Or some ungodly combination of the two. The Washington Post: Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network on Thursday morning, Trump appeared to confirm that he opposes Democrats’ proposed funding for mail-in balloting and the...
It’s long been obvious that Putin favors Trump and wants to keep him in the White House where he can continue to destroy the United States, both because we’ve been blocking Russia’s ambitions and because Putin wants revenge for the breakup of the Soviet Union and other things we may...
Oh, hi, Donald Trump! What’s on your mind today? Good God, what fresh hell is this? x So disgusting to watch Twitter’s so-called “Trendingâ€Â, where sooo many trends are about me, and never a good one. They look for anything they can find, make it as bad as possible, and...

My heart swells with schadenfreude these days, but it’s never quite full. At least when it comes to Grampa Rage Diapers. In a new New York Times report on Donald Trump’s shambolic presidency and his lack of motivation when it comes to, well, anything having to do with being president,...

Summer is the time for distractions from the pandemic. Shuttle launches are also a spectacle that Trump attending makes a distraction from the pandemic.

The biggest leaker of them all: Jarvanka will throw all kinds of folks under the bus.

Okay, nothing surprises me with this guy anymore. If you told me Mark Burnett was sitting on Apprentice outtakes of Donald Trump devouring live guinea pigs whole on-set like a pelican swallowing alewives, I’d be like, “Oh, of course he is. Not surprising at all.” Nevertheless, this is still beyond the pale. Donald Trump...
Like Michael Cohen and Omarosa before him, Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci is now the voice of reason. Or, you know, more reason than Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham can muster.

Once again Trump has stepped on his own dictatorship.

This is craven. Because Donald Trump twiddles his tweeter thumbs at CNN 24/7, the network has apparently bowed to the “pressure,” hiring a former Trump DOJ official and Republican operative, Sarah Isgur Flores, to oversee its 2020 election coverage. That’s not a typo. It’s not meant to say “to oversee...
This is what happens when you put a rapey asshole on the Supreme Court, despite every indication that he’s an angry, victim-blaming drunk who’s never atoned for his past.
