Who knew, Big Tech is corporate communism, which may explain why there should be a Magnitsky law for the US. A Ghislaine Maxwell pardon could occur if she gave up those tapes of the previous guy. Comic gold @mcsweeneys ‘The Boat Cops open a shipping container. It is full to...
Rats
It must be the bubble-living swamp rats who will determine the badge of honor for Trump, a candidate who’s had at least five campaign managers. Then again martyrs usually die. Republican consultant Brad Parscale, who served as manager for former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign, predicted Saturday that the upcoming impeachment trial...

Donald Trump is melting down faster than a brick of Velveeta nestled snugly between the twin industrial steam pans that are his moobs. The latest? He’s been trashing Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s preeminent expert on infectious diseases, because Trump is missing Friday night Skee-Ball at Chuck E. Cheese or whatever. First, Trump,...
Ha ha ha! The rats aren’t just abandoning ship — they’re scared to admit they’ve ever been near the ship. Because it’s a bad ship, man. Bad, bad, bad. x The full exchange is especially cringeworthy pic.twitter.com/aP93PNcC5M— Andrew Joseph (@AndyJ0seph) October 7, 2020 < p class=”is-empty-p”> MARTHA MCSALLY: “[Mark] Kelly says...
First Moscow Mitch hints that he’ll skip the Republican National Convention, and now this? Looks like Sen. David Perdue is fast becoming Sen. David Perdon’t. x Breaking: @sendavidperdue has undergone surgery to separate himself from Trump and is now airing ads in Georgia that donâÂÂt even MENTION Trump. No one has...
The real question is whether Republicans are really the “unnerved who have long enabled him but now fear losing power and forever associating their party with his racial animus.” Leaning on a culture war requires the power of a reactionary populism that can keep intimidating and oppressing people on the basis...
The redoubtable Gabriel Sherman has a new dispatch from the Land of Make-Believe (née the White House). Seems the current occupant, Donald John Trump, is feeling a bit like a gimpy gazelle flushed into one of Marlin Perkins’ nets. (According to Sherman, Trump, sensing electoral Armageddon, recently called Fox News’ Tucker...
Deliberate attacks on journalists have cost at least one reporter an eye. And yet the COVID-19 pandemic remains. A number of efforts are underway to try to track the attacks on journalists, which are often first documented on Twitter. Bellingcat senior investigator Nick Watershad documented 100 incidents by 12:50 PM ET...
Where to start with when it comes to the results of Sweden’s COVID-19 response? Sweden decided to tell their seniors to stay at home, and they essentially left most of their economy open. The idea was that the younger Swedes would achieve herd immunity and protect the more vunerable seniors...
In a total reversal, Grand Moff Trump will apparently back off on ordering(sic) a national May 1 “reopening date”. He will also punt “shot-calling” to the states, continuing his inability to fully implement the DPA. Live Blog below 6:00* PM EDT (* it almost never starts on time) Members of...
What follows are excerpts from four report backs by Andrea Henson, of Where Do We Go Berkeley, (@WhereDoWeGoBerk, Facebook) whom I first spotlighted in October, 2019.

Not since the plague, also known as the Black Death, arrived in Europe in the early 1300s has the human population been more vulnerable to exotic disease. Black Death is estimated to have killed 30 to 60% of the population of Europe. With international transport of people and goods, dense...
Aside from the forced separation of families, The #TrumpPlague will be more than about fleas and rats. The Trumpian aversion to accurate data elsewhere has brought the nation to the edge of the golden hour. x If the mortality rate is 1%, that means 50,000 of the cases from the...
So when do we start interfering in Russian elections? I know ..I know… we can’t do that but this crap is an act of war. We are a soverign nation or supposed to be. If I wanted to be Russian with a Russian run country, I would fly my ass off...
When Fox & Friends wants to ratchet up the rank stupidity a notch or two, they recall Geraldo Rivera from the Smithsonian’s Hall of Old-Timey Mustaches and put him on the air for a few minutes of fatuous, barking-mad pseudo-tough talk. And he doesn’t disappoint. This morning, he claimed he...
Because he’s not racist at all — oh, no, not even close; he’s the least racist person you’ll ever meet … the least racist — Donald Trump hate-tweeted at Al Sharpton early this morning. (If you’re a black politician or celebrity and he hasn’t attacked you yet, don’t worry. He’ll get...

Hmm, this sounds familiar, huh? Just two weeks after telling Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib to go back to their “original countries,” Trump is blowing his racist dog-whistles again. And, once again, you’d have to be a pretty deaf dog not to hear them. Now he’s...
The title is a description of the content of my re cent article “*sigh* OK, time to get messy” that appeared in the comments section. Actually, I got a kick out of the description since, while I consider myself an “opinion commentator,” the word “fiction” could easily apply, since while the...
'Twas the fight before Christmas, and in the White House, The dotard was pissed off, and starting to grouse; “I want Wall” he pouted, then reached for his phone, And tweeted his Twit-sters, misspelling “unnown”.

Corey “Grabby-Hands” Lewandowski and David “Cotton-Picking” Bossie, two former Trump advisers, have written a new book titled “How to Live Inside Donald Trump’s Sigmoid Colon While Still Maintaining Your Independence and Objectivity.” No, actually it’s called “Trump’s Enemies: How the Deep State Is Undermining the Presidency.” The Washington Post obtained a copy,...
One thing is for sure, 2018 had something for everybody. Well, pretty much everybody who was a Democrat, if you’re a Republican, you were shit out of luck. Election night turned into election fortnight, what with Broward county being its usual stumbling-down-the-stairs-drunk self, and California’s pony express style of mail in...

That title is a direct quote from Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, responding to allegations of marital infidelity. Now, I don’t know whether the claims by the National Enquirer are true. For that matter, I don’t know whether I would care if they were true. Consenting adults, and all that....
