Sexism – The Politicus

cheeseheads in Wisconsin GOP Assembly vote to end 'patriarchy' by banning its K-12 mention

Beetle-Juice Three Times. Thank Jeebus that cheesehead is not banned from primary and secondary schools in Wisconsin. Because nothing says “Freedom” and “Liberty” like being the language police. If you talk about “spirit murdering” and “action civics” they might even exist. Better to be “un-woke”, because you might develop an “unconscious-bias”. Darn...

No Shoes, No Shirts, No Shots, No Service

Democrats, since the time of Franklin Roosevelt, have fought the accusation of wanting a Nanny State; equal access to housing, healthcare, fair wages, and education have been guiding tenets of the Democrats since the New Deal, the War on Poverty through the Covid Recovery Act—not always successful—but good principles, nonetheless....

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the Critical Race theory

Oklahoma’s right-wing politicians would like to erase history because that’s what they do, whether it’s the omission of facts or rewriting them to favor those in power. Historical guilt and its associated media effects cooties can’t be part of public school curricula. H.B. 1775 implies that the past prior to 1776...

only moderates believe that being halfway to November 3 is important

So many believe that they are generally moderate or moderating because they cannot imagine themselves being so nonconforming that they cannot be sociable or civil in any situation. We are always conciliatory because we don’t really want to have someone tell us “DBAD”. We can support diversity up to and...

Obama shares impassioned anti-Trump op-ed on Twitter

President Obama rarely comments on the puerile antics of Donald J. Trump. Let’s hope that changes when election season gets into full swing and he hits the campaign trail on behalf of our nominee. But for the most part, he’s faithfully observed tradition and held his tongue, despite the dopey...

Kellyanne Conway takes early lead for dumbest attack on Cory Booker

I don’t really have a horse in this race yet. I’m leaning Team Kamala, but it’s so early I’m naturally curious to see what other candidates have to offer. Cory Booker looks like a strong candidate (and not just because he’s a vegan, like me). But Kellyanne Conway wonders why he’s...

Trump is so unpopular, even Fox News is losing interest in his rallies

This is a bit concerning, because if Donald Trump can’t garner attention through his usual racism, sexism, xenophobia, and dithering dipshittery, who knows what he’ll do next? At this rate, he appears to be about six months away from going on stage and beating war orphans to death with a sock...
