We haven’t yet reached that point where the losses to the Russians are sustainable. Replacements may be on their way to the front. They likely will not see the same troops who have until now resisted […]

Ukraine Invasion Day 21: both sides have 90% of combat power available in a violent 'pause'
The war continues with Russian troops hiding among hospital facilities in the south using staff as cover or shields. They exhibit slow progress toward Kiev even as talks continue and the PR offensive remains solid with […]
Ukraine Invasion Day 19: “Why (not) Die for Danzig?” Where are the Blue Helmets?
All wars are battles among falcons, they are never fought between hawks and doves. A UN enforced no-fly-zone would have no doves. As James Clapper said on CNN: “The game’s on”. The reality is that wars […]
Opinion: Banana Republicans
Anti-American Republicans seem to be stunned into obsequiousness, or the fear of not having a white majority makes them surrender to their worst instincts. The Republican party, through their officials, both local and federal, Supreme […]
“bad mafia movie” – Peril in the Trumper-bunkers on the eve of the Insurrection
CNN’s David Gergen: The Only Thing That Can Stop Donald Trump From Running in 2024 is a Prison Sentence From the Insurrection, we know that conspiring to commit felonies is also a felony. We know […]
Yale professor and expert on authoritarianism says 2024 Trump coup is 'underway'
If U.S. democracy falls this century, it will likely be at the hands of a stubby-fingered sack of extra-piquant donkey farts who likely never bothered to read the Constitution he swore to uphold—and certainly didn’t […]
Matthew Dowd: This is how Democrats beat a sagging Texas Governor Greg Abbott & failed Republica
Former Bush strategist Matthew Dowd and new Texan is working hard to elect Democrats. He gives a recipe to defeat Greg Abbott. Matthew Dowd on messaging values versus policy x x YouTube Video See full […]
The previous guy and his unsteamed pants, 'wasting away again in Mar-a-Lagoville'
More gaslight: Trump’s speech Saturday in North Carolina was one being delivered by the person who incited an act of terrorism designed to overturn the 2020 election. Lapsing into irrelevance, Trump says the same lies: […]
A free market emerges in election fraudits yet again in Arizona: Insurrection part Deux
Arizona still is a paradigm case in attempts to overthrow governments. Apparently elections are now auctions and any idiot with money and a legislature in their pocket can demand election audits. Lawfare will ensue as democracy […]
Liz Cheney wants to “defeat socialism” without previous guy. Do it for America! More Gaslight!
We now return you to the continuing Big Lie and the punchable face of the GQP. “By deposing @Liz_Cheney they’ve only given her a bigger platform.” And they were so cowardly as to remove her by […]
Arizona 'auditors' demand access to routers and passwords. County sheriff tells them to get bent
I’ve been more or less ignoring the Maricopa County, Arizona, election “audit” for much the same reason I don’t watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians to see if Kris Jenner finds the Higgs boson in […]
Bamboo, Watermelons, and Rainbows
Have you ever asked yourself, why are so many GOP political theories race and gender-based? The latest is that voter ballots in Arizona were smuggled in from China. The GOP has decided the best way […]
Not guilty by reason of Sean Hannity: Insurrectionist's lawyer claims he suffered from 'Foxitus'
The gendarmes are still rounding up the Trumpaloompas who tried to steal our democracy on Jan. 6, and by now it’s clear that these Fisher Price militiamen have lost much of their revolutionary fervor after being placed […]
Traitor forgets pledge …to America. What kind of General forgets the pledge.. A treasonous one.
This kind of writes itself. Of course Flynn forgot the pledge. He made a fool of himself telling people that he wanted them to hear every word. When he got to the Republic…he lost his […]
Republican: Biggest anti-democratic force in country & biggest danger to our Republic is the GOP
Republican operative Miles Taylor came out swinging against the Republican Party on the Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross. He told the inconvenient truth, and one hopes Republicans are listening. Republican gets real with an inconvenient […]
'Stop the Steal' lawmaker who was in D.C. on Jan. 6 is now auditing ballots in Arizona
For some reason I don’t have complete faith in this vote audit they’re performing in Arizona. For one thing, hardly anyone heard of Cyber Ninjas, the company that’s performing the audit, before this farce commenced. For […]
Minerva @ Midnight: GOP states want to suppress protests by deputizing civilian vehicular assault
Only Republicans would encourage running over demonstrators by indemnifying and pitting RWNJs and their vehicles against peaceful crowds. Because who knew that the “unintentional” weaponizing of personal vehicles was possible when pretending you’re driving a Tesla into […]
Are the Arizona “Auditors” Cheating Already?
The Arizona (excuse me, Maricopa county only) vote recount was always suspicious. The State Senate (GOP-controlled) insisted on a recount even though county election (4-1 Republican) certified the vote unanimously. And the Republican governor said […]
it's “infrastructure reich” this week for the America First Caucus
The land of nonsense has now been proposed, because the new America First Caucus decided they’ll advance the demand of the previous guy that all future public buildings should look like neoclassical architecture promoted by […]
an America First Caucus declares “infrastructure millennium”
The new America First Caucus advances the demand of the previous guy that all future public buildings should look like the neoclassical architecture often called Federalist. Not coincidentally it also is the official state facade style promoted by authoritarian movements […]
Minerva @ Midnight: after previous guy's indictment, a trumpist jail-break in the offing?
Previous guy colluded with Russia, led a Capitol insurrection, and is not rotting in a prison cell. But if it happens, could there be enough secessionist nut-logs ready and willing to bust him out. “I think […]
PA-Sen: Toomey (R) Wants PA To Adopt GA's Jim Crow Laws Because He “Thinks Black People Do Drive”
Can’t wait to see this asshole go: 📹On @FOX43, Sen. Toomey says he wants PA to adopt Georgia's new election laws. I ask what he says to BPOC who say those policies make it harder […]
Carnage: previous guy said “China virus” the same night of the Atlanta spa shootings
Carnage could be a permanent condition, but Trump made it a brand. Between April 10, 2020 and January 3, 2021, Donald Trump either tweeted (or retweeted) the term “China Virus” 44 times. Like Trump’s claim […]
the Grand Hotel Abyss defunded and canceled by Trump's GQP culture war on massage spas
The Atlanta spree killings are unfortunately a story with structural similarity to events elsewhere. How do we know that Robert Long wasn’t on his way to Mar-a-Lago when the cops performed a PIT maneuver on him […]
Has the US raised “a stink” about North Korea because it “gave off a powder smell”
North Korea is starting to test its relationship with the Biden administration. One of the few concessions that North Korea got from Trump aside from his foreign policy ignorance was the suspension of Republic of Korea/US joint […]
Pillow monger who wants to launch own social media platform somehow can't grasp video chatting
So this is the guy who’s suddenly an expert on voting machines and algorithms. Mike Lindell, the reason tech support people often drink on the job, called into the Domenick Nati Show recently to talk […]
Conservatism is greed and bigotry dressed up as moralistic “principles” like individualistic liberty
Steve Bannon’s path to a pardon included appeals to a range of RWNJ groups including some dangerous proto-fascist cults. “The Fourth Turning” by Strauss & Howe returns to our attention, because of Bannon. But are we shifting […]
Alabama GOP declares Trump 'one of the greatest presidents' ever
Q: What’s the difference between the Branch Davidians and the Trump Death Cult? A: The Branch Davidians thought their leader was Jesus, whereas the Trumpies think their guy is way the fuck better than Jesus. […]
“Their stupid is always bigger than their evil” in an ex-POTUS's hope for military coup
Banana Republic is not yet a bankrupt concept in America, although it is being sorely tested. Trump’s 1/6 coup counted on the numbers of RWNJs in the US military, including some QAnon-influenced former National Security […]
Trumpists believe something, something… 19th POTUS* on March 4 because Hayes-Tilden
“Senate Joint Hearing on Jan. 6 Attack: Part II” starts at 10am ET. Prepared testimony today for Maj. Gen. William Walker, commander of the D.C. National Guard, as he addresses the security response to the […]
