Smoking – The Politicus

Minerva @ Midnight: For every AOC there is her antithesis: MTG

Because Taylor Greene is all about the family values, the usual trolls made noise about FLOTUS sporting patterned stockings when you can google “Melania Trump nudes”. FLOTUS wore fishnets. Matt Gaetz preyed on underage girls. Guess which one infuriates the GOP and MAGA cult? — Patty ♀️🇺🇦🇵🇷🇺🇸 (@PB_Sun_Tan) April 4, 2021...

CNN reporter: Trump was 'basically screaming' during Castor's defense arguments

I’ve seen roller coaster accidents that were easier to follow—and less unnerving—than that gory mess Trump counsel Bruce Castor presented earlier today.

The Most Segregated City

To many, Omaha Nebraska is where you could buy insurance from the company that sponsored the Wild Kingdom TV show. Henry Fonda and Johny Carson were from Omaha. The liberal billionaire, “Oracle” Warren Buffet, lives in Omaha. Yet for 50 years, Omaha also became the most segregated city in the US,...

We need to flip the script on the 'how will you pay for health care?' question

We can’t allow this question to stand anymore. We just can’t. “How will you pay for Medicare for All/universal health care?” It’s fatuous. It’s fake. It’s a donation in-kind to the insurance industry. I don’t have a health care plan — and I’m certainly no expert on the minutiae of...

I'm so grateful, for the Grateful Dead.

By the last 60’s and early 70’s, I was a pot-smoking acid dropping anti war hippy with hair down to the crack of my ass. I wanted to spend most of my life getting high and going to loud rock concerts. I lived too long in the Midwest, and...

Adam Schiff humiliates Meghan McCain over question of collusion

In the annals of journalism, only two sentences have had the power to send a frisson of dread down the spine of any politician: “Hello, I’m Mike Wallace, and I’m from 60 Minutes” and “I’m Meghan McCain from The View, and I have a really stupid question to ask you...

Two-hundred and forty combined Congressmen and women voted to officially condemn Donald Trump, for maligning 4 American female members of Congress, of color, as interlopers, who should “go back” to the country from “which they came.” With racism staring him squarely in the face yesterday, Mitch McConnell defended Donald Trump...

U.S. renewable energy generation just surpassed coal for the first time ever

Donald Trump has staked his grubby little political future in part on a supposed renaissance in dirty, backward-looking industries like coal production. Unfortunately for him, the world doesn’t stand still for anyone, much less the imperial tonne of congealed adipose and inertia who calls himself our 45th pr*sident. Renewable energy is...

The GOP is falling back to the rhetorical “bunker” on Trump's collusion and obstruction of justice.

You know, one snowflake is just a snowflake. Ten snowflakes is a flurry, and one hundred snowflakes is a blizzard. But when it comes to Trump, and his collusion and obstruction of justice problems, it’s starting to look like his GOP lackeys are staring into potential whiteout conditions. I can’t...
