Rushmore

If you take a moment and listen to the so-called moderate wing of the Republican party, they are as extreme as the rest. This weekend Utah Senator Mitt Romney was roundly booed by members of his party at the Utah GOP convention. The crime that elicited the verbal censure from...

In just 50 days, President Joe Biden got our vaccine production and distribution system whipped into shape and signed a historic COVID-19 relief package to boost our economy and give a helping hand to millions of struggling Americans, but damn, what a snooze it’s been.

Kristi Noem, the GOP superstar governor who took one of the least densely populated states in the nation and turned it into a big-city-style COVID cluster*, appears to be Republicaning in other ways, too. In other words, she’s following in the feculent footsteps of her ocher overlord by engaging in...

Yes, that’s the same Herman Cain who literally died of COVID-19. In a now-deleted tweet, Herman Cain (or, rather, Herman Cain’s Twitter account) claimed that the fake news media has been overhyping the coronavirus.

In the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin, the story is known for a blonde mane, braggadocio, getting caught by lies, abuse of a child, and finally a disastrous end. Although a fairy tale, the Grimm fable was more a nightmare for little German children.  That brings us to present-day...

An entirely circular public relations stunt aided by the NY Times. Trump wasn’t accountable because one of his minions approached the South Dakota government with the flackery of Trumpist followers and the pretensions of Grover Norquist for Reagan’s head. Even though Trump has been informally yakking about it since taking office the...

Trump continues to signal to police agencies that they can do whatever they want, regardless of civilian authorities, letting us know that not unlike Sturgis, SD and the state’s governor, the GOP are the actual “anarchists” fomenting American Carnage. x The president told Governor Noem that he aspired to have his...

The Trump campaign has yet to reverse the slide but Trumpian chaos does continue.

Just when you think we’re not going to go all degenerate art versus official art, Trump goes more Roman with triumphal graven images. Perhaps there’s a merchandising tie-in with replicas. If anything, Trump wants effigies out there, forgetting that there were the blimp babies. What better way to display Trump carnage than...

Apparently Trump thinks there’s something called “new far-left fascism”, whatever that is.
