If I had to watch this, you do, too. Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy, who sounds like Mr. Haney and looks like Arnold Ziffel, shot a video that made the NRA—which is dissolving faster than an Adderall suppository in the pulpy crevasses of Donald John Trump’s bottomless backside—bray about “triggering” the libs....
More than 225 million doses of Covid vaccines have been delivered, more than enough to fulfill Joe Biden’s goal of 200 million vaccinations in his first 100 days. If we just maintain the recent pace averaging 3 million shots a day, we should have about 240 million vaccinations, 20 million more...
The not-guilty verdict ending the impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump was as expected, but it revealed something even more sinister about the Republican party. After the Senate trial ended, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, made a public display of the hypocrisy in the GOP. He prattled on about the former...
So this morning, Melania Trump helpfully pointed out to all us plebs who the real victim of the assault on the Capitol is: Melania Trump. That’s no surprise. Trumps are always victims—of the whiniest sort. If Donald Trump ever sincerely took responsibility for anything, I’d start checking random D.C. basements...
We wondered a few years back when we were saying Buckle up…what he would do. We wondered what his enablers would continue to back. Would he start a war? Would he declare martial law? Now we know the beginning and we still don’t know the finale. He is trying to...
“Literally Thursday night President Trump told people at a dinner: ‘The end of pandemic is in sight ‘“ It’s not a plot, he’s just that stupid, and he’s also that conniving. A bad combination. x As you say, it's doubtful he'd ever want to pull off the scheme, and risible...
Get ready people because the reality of losing our democracy is real. I said this in 2016 and people scoffed. It is a reality. The sides are lining up. Brother against brother, Mother against child, husband against wife. This may even be worse than 1860 considering the people of that...
Canadian Primer Minister Justin Trudeau has quite wisely declined to risk sickness and death just so Trump can have a photo-op “celebrating” the new agreement between Canada, the US, and Mexico — which is pretty much the same as the old agreement, the most important part being that Obama’s signature...
For reference: A group of 25 Republican lawmakers is renewing their quest to have Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf impeached, despite an evident lack of appetite among GOP leaders and the majority of their fellow legislators to pursue the idea. State Rep. Darryl Metcalfe, chairman of the House Environmental Affairs and...
There’s only six months left in ‘Trump Time’, so the continuum is still safe, so far. Profiteering and looting might be less safe in the interim. Already under fire for his role atop a shadow task force aiding the administration’s response to the coronavirus, senior White House aide Jared Kushner is now being handed...
Waiting for de jure to be impaneled in a time of tactical chaos, free of strategic thinking, Jared Kushner is Slender Man, de facto POTUS* of the not-so-deep, shallow state. “Jared is running everything. He’s the de facto president of the United States,” a former White House official told Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman, Throughout the...
From the book The Man Who Knew Too Much, there is a quote that reads “I am the man who knows too much to know anything, or, at any rate, to do anything,” –G.K. Chesterton The Party that detests the government seems obsessed with getting in office and breaking it...
The New York Times has an article up about how Florida Governor Ron De Santis let Spring Break go on during a viral pandemic. MIAMI — You could find Beatriz Diaz at this spring’s Winter Party Festival in Miami Beach, giving out hand sanitizer. It was early March. She knew...
I write this from my experience this week. My husband was doing some regular chores around the house Wednesday and nothing seemed wrong at all. I had asked our daughter where he was when I didn’t see him outside where he had been. She said, “ I think he laid...
The bum’s rush to Biden after he won a SINGLE primary (in his entire career) that he was expected to win, with every possible institutional advantage, in a conservative state may be incredibly dangerous. Let me offer a few “what happens if” scenarios that I think are very plausible. 1)...
This will have an impact as well as I think Pete is not far behind on his endorsement. The endorsements will be coming fast and furious I predict. The ground game is about to change with these past candidates coming in to endorse. I am all for...
No, I did not attend a boring seminar on quantum mechanics or bend my brain studying the theory of relativity. I spent Christmas Eve and Day in Albert Einstein ( with whom I share a birthday) Hospital recovering from what was termed, a cardiac incident. Short of a heart attack, I...
In some ways, Sinclair Broadcasting — which owns nearly 200 television stations across the country — may be more pernicious than Fox News, because most of the time its affiliates seem like real stations. They’ll get the hot scoops at county fair corn roasts about people’s favorite way to eat...

Well hell, if there’s one thing I hate, it’s coming off looking like an idjit, but as Britney Spears sings,:Ooops, I did it again.” For years now, I’ve been ridiculing the end-of-days nuts, and survivalist goofballs who blow their entire credit limit on basically glorified MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat)....
Grab your air-sickness bags. No, seriously. I mean it. Or skip ahead to the end. And by “end” I mean the end of your now-squalid, irreparably damaged life. Okay, you’ve been warned.

I had a little trouble feeling patriotic this July 4th, and it’s not just because our president is on the take with Russia. No, I had a real sickness in the pit of my stomach because this happened just one week prior: ICE agent ICE confirmed to The Intercept on Tuesday that...
Upfront: If you think that anything is justified against a person simply because that person is wealthy, this is not an article for you. If you think it’s okay to lie, mislead, or otherwise attack a person simply because of their financial status, consequences be damned, then you should probably...
