This is What Trump Expected the First Time…

Meandering nonsense highlighted by searches for bamboo fibers, and official lies issued from Mar-a Lago, are exactly what Donald Trump expected to be doing in 2016. The 2020 election with Joe Biden as his opponent was what he expected the first time around with Hillary Clinton; a loss. I am...

The best approach to Trump is mockery. The latest example: his fixation on his losing vote total.

Donald Trump

An initial note — I’ve always thought that the most effective tool by far against Trump is to mock him.  That weakness has been central to this rube from Queens who spent a lifetime craving Manhattan’s (unavailable) approval. With that in mind, I need to point out one of the weirdest (although typical)...

IANAPs, so I can’t say if or how sadism is associated with narcissism, even the malignant kind. But Trump sure presents as embodying both conditions.

Right-wing Christian persecution complex reaches absurd heights in case of 'murdered' missionary

While conservative Christians prepare to celebrate the War on Christmas season — which they clearly relish more than Christmas itself because, well, there aren’t any Jewish socialists in it — they’ve found another cause célèbre to tide them over. It seems an American “missionary” with a death wish tried to make...

Pay attention, Dems: One Georgia race debunked campaign myths and outlined a path to victory in 2020

Do you remember Jon Ossoff's fight last year in Georgia?  I do. It was one of the biggest election stories out of 2017: a charasmatic, young neophyte took on a rightwing Trumper in a deep red district. (GA-6 has a Cook PVI of R+8).  This was the seat formerly held by...

Half of Caravan Numbers Are Children Suffering From Heat and Lack Of Hygiene Experts Report.

Huffington Post “While President Donald Trump recently tweeted that the migrant caravan of over 5,000 Central Americans is made up of some “very bad thugs and gang members,” a handful of immigration experts and advocates told HuffPost that’s not the case. The reality, some experts said, is that the caravan...

Once the U.S. State Department Was Anti-Immigrant and Anti-Semitic Now, It Is “Soros-occupied.”

You can count on the FOX channel — not news to me — and Lou Dobbs to push more anti-immigrant phobia, but now, they are sticking with their love of anti-semitism in the form of George Soros bashing.  Nothing like having a guest like Chris Ferrell of Judicial Watch claim that “caravan”...

)))Anti-Semitism(((: When punctuation meets racism

There’s a lot of mention here at Daily Kos of dog-whistles and coded language. At times, that seems to verge on the difficult-to-believe; does the far-right really read so much into single words as we on the Left like to imply? The answer, at least sometimes, is yes. Indeed, among...

Reorienting around the Orient

I know quite a number of Pakistanis being a student at Ohio Wesleyan. Not all of them care that much for politics. But of the few who do, there is a general sentiment that Chinese is the new language of the global market. As the US continues to fall in...

The “Chick-Fil-A” Standard

When Boston Mayor Thomas Menino came out against Chick-Fil-A after its CEO expressed opposition to gay marriage, numerous grassroots campaigns throughout the nation followed suit encouraging people to take their business elsewhere. If your Facebook is anything like mine, it’s probably full of statuses standing with, or against, the Boston...
