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...
In case you missed this: Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) erupted Tuesday on the House floor, imploring his Republican colleagues to stop their obsession with stoking culture wars and shift focus to helping Democrats pass legislation to aid Americans struggling through the coronavirus pandemic. “Stop talking about Dr. Seuss and start...
Likely there will be Daniel Dale or Aaron Rupar to tweet about the Trump blather. As for the insurrection, it was as if it had never happened. It will shock you how much the it never happened. Tom Cotton inveighed against anti-cop mobs—but only in the context of Portland and without seeming to...
Wow: Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R) was caught on tape making cracks about physical violence against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), who last year was the target of a kidnapping plot by right-wing militia extremists. He was also recorded spreading lies about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S....
The alternative reality persists and MSM is only interested in the 2024 race. Holy shit. Rand Paul still won't acknowledge that the election wasn't stolen from Trump. pic.twitter.com/mxSuItPaAD — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 24, 2021 Rand kept saying: hear the other side! Rand Paul just gave a master class in...
The Trump crazies are now, metaphorically speaking, slitting their own throats as uncontrolled Covid infections rage through their communities. These simpletons have turned their very lives over to an incompetent, impotent, and illegitimate buffoon and his administration along with Fox News and the GOP. NPR’s All Things Considered radio show has...
Georgia is our opportunity to take the majority in the Senate. Ted Kennedy is gone. He WAS the lion of the senate. Byrd is gone. Tom Harkin is no longer in the senate. John McCain is gone. The last Lion was Joe Biden, running second was Kamala Harris, IMO. Joe...
http://www.metrotimes.com/…www.metrotimes.com/… Lock the MF up. Wow. The headline reads, “ Lock the motherfucker up”. Click the link and see. For all the nefarious crap Florida Republicans pulled in 2000 — there was plenty, beginning with a racist purge of the state’s voter rolls — at least that was a legitimately close election. A 537-vote...
Tonight’s RNC celebrates America as the land of opportunity where at least one speaker wants to reduce votes to households rather than adult individuals (because men would be best able to allocate that), and the RNC “cancelled” a speaker who promoted a tweet supporting the Elders of Zion. Maybe it’s the...
Both Chuck Todd and George Stephanopoulos grilled Trump's spokesmen, Peter Navarro and Larry Kudlow, as they continued spilling lies and misinformation. Todd & Stephanopoulos were journalists today x x YouTube Video Watch the full episode here.

So much complicity so little time left, the GOP seems ready to lose the Senate because they back-ended the wrong horse. x Learn. Their.

At the end of the movie Cast Away starring Tom Hanks, in the final scene he is left contemplating his next move after reaching a literal fork in the road. Ok, I think I left that vague enough so as not to ruin the ending for the few who have...
Donald Trump's spokespersons do not get a pass when interviewed by Ali Velshi. As a real journalist, he does not allow the spin or refuted statements or lies.

Received this e-mail today from former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D. AZ) in support of U.S. Senator Gary Peters’ (D. MI) re-election campaign: Sen. Gary Peters (D. MI) For years, we’ve looked to our leaders in Washington to protect our communities — asking them to have the courage to act not...
perhaps as a pushback at the Trump campaign running an ad (including on MS-NBC) against Biden on China. This one is apparently slotted for CNN. Take a look: x YouTube Video And by the way, the ad hits Ivanka as well. And its official title is “Chyna”.

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. Trump’s insistence that his inaugural crowd was larger than Obama’s set the tone for his...
No link yet, but Stephanie Ruhle of MSNBC is reporting that CEO’s of some major companies are pushing back against Trump’s “plan” to reopen the economy on May 1st. Quick takes from what she reported: Dartagnan wrote a blog about how Trump is trying to get American business leaders to sign...
Like the President Trump’s Guidelines for America, Trump wants it to appear like he personally disbursed the US Treasury’s money to you. Because you will vote for his re-election as if you are grateful to Mango Mussolini. How absurd has this example of bad capitalist brand management become. x Normally, a...
A WaPo story just out: Trump makes veiled threat toward Schiff over classified briefing on Russian 2020 election interference President Trump on Sunday made a veiled threat toward House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B.

I believe everyone has a right to choose to believe or not believe in their own way. What I don’t believe in, is that some of the non believers commenting with their slurs of others commenters who choose faith instead of non belief. We have been called out as being simple,...
MSNBC has been hyping the selection of the women “journalists” for the next upcoming Democratic presidential debate: Ashley Parker, Kristen Welker, Andrea Mitchell, and Rachel Maddow. Only one of those selected is a real journalist IMHO — Rachel Maddow. The other three are, well, let’s take a look. Ashley Parker doesn’t...
Other than a rhetorical diversion into the use of “lynching”, Lindsey Graham is one of a few Senate Republicans unencumbered by the possibility of sitting as an impeachment juror. RWNJ pundits have taken to attacking Graham to fill the space of media reaction and in the absence of many Trump...
So Donald Trump — very loudly — proclaimed last night that next year’s G7 summit won’t be at his Doral resort after all, because the media and Democrats are so, so awful and simply don’t appreciate his largesse: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1185726931611852802? No one knows what he means by “no profit” and “zero...
The pushback from Trumpists is beginning with much disinformation and noise. The coming weeks will unfortunately be far too interesting because the latest episode with Ukraine is one clearly created while Trump has been POTUS*, even as its foundation was laid by Paul Manfort, among others, like Rudy Giuliani. x...
intelligence.house.gov/… The whistle-blower complaint is now available. The allegation is deemed credible and urgent. Apparently there was a conspiracy to withhold allocated foreign aid to coerce a foreign power to pursue an investigation of a US citizen by that foreign power in order to advance a partisan political agenda. There was an...
I thought I would summarize what the concensus seems to be on why the Mueller Report basically failed to launch an aggressive impeachment inquiry versus the impact of the intelligence whistleblower complaint. I tried uploading the image into this diary directly, but the dimensions were too small to see. If anyone...
I couldn’t believe I actually say the word “disarray” applied to Republicans in an AP story. This is the former home of Ron Fournier. And Democrats in Disarray is just more alliterative than Republicans in Disarray! Granted, the headline didn’t actually have the word disarray in it, but this AP article...
