TRUMP v BIDEN: Their Reactions to Special Counsels Reveals Who's Innocent and Who's Scared

Poor crybaby Trump. The self-described “most fabulous whiner” of Mar-All-Ego is starting off the new year pretty much the same way he ended the last year: Complaining petulantly that he is a victim of the hordes of enemies that are conspiring to destroy him and his aspirations of messianic sovereignty...

Sinema plays silly games with Mitt Romney as world impatiently awaits her answer on Biden agenda

I half expected Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to show up on the Senate floor today dressed as Ramses II, arriving on a pink, three-legged Shetland pony before airily plucking imaginary Skittles from Rand Paul’s leonine mane of laissez-faire locks. Turns out I should have bet the over. Watching Sinema “legislate” is a...

Manatee County Florida. Mandatory Evacuations ! Catastrophic Leak

No. No. We don’t need infrastructure bills in America . We are fine according to republicans. Well, that state of mind is being changed I bet as I type. (or maybe not according to Republican thinking) Manatee County Florida is under mandatory evacuations and every homeowner can expect higher homeowner...

AntiCapitalist MeetUp: Are carbon markets like papal indulgences

Like Martin Luther objecting to Pope Leo X selling indulgences to raise money for a variety of excesses, the environmental costs of carbon markets far exceed the benefits. Austerity would have denied us Renaissance art which is less at risk in an age of non-fungible tokens. Today the consequences for the planet...

President Joe Biden said something shocking in his press conference today. He said he has no idea if there would be a Republican Party at election time. Is Biden questioning Republican Party viability? See full episodes here. President Joe Biden has always tended to jump the gun, speak off the...

CO-Sen: “A national government that did nothing to protect a generation”

Senator Bennet Remembers Victims of Boulder Shooting in Floor Speech, Calls for Action

I wanted to make sure you all saw this: Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet on Wednesday called on the Senate to act in the wake of a mass shooting at a supermarket in his state, asserting in an impassioned speech from the chamber floor that his colleagues have a moral obligation to a generation...

Boulder not better after yesterday's killing spree

GOP rep who elevated Trump's Big Lie gets testy when asked if Biden won the election

Do these people think they’re going to turn to stone if they tell the plain truth about the 2020 election? Republicans these days act as if the Eye of Sauron is always looking, looking, looking, and if they dare mention Donald Trump’s name in vain, the Mar-a-Lago Nazgul will be...

The previous guy still lost, because he still needs that “hoax” to keep the grift going

WaPo’s Greg Miller’s “main takeaway from ODNI report is that America’s enemies learned more from Russia-2016 about how to muck around in U.S. elections than the U.S. learned/did about how to stop it.” It didn’t stop Russia from trying to interfere again, although this time the Russians relied more on...

Dr. Birx on Trump's infamous 'inject disinfectant' moment: 'I still think about it every day'

PA-Sen: The Atlantic, “The Left’s Answer to Trump Is 6 Foot 8 and Wears Shorts in February”

Have some weekend reading for you. The Atlantic has a great piece out about U.S. Senate candidate, Lt. Governor John Fetterman (D. PA), that’s worth a ready. Here’s a taste: Fetterman has already raised lots of money—$500,000 in just the first 72 hours he was in the race—in part as...

Marjorie Taylor Green, unburdened by House committee work, should put a bit more time into her trolling banter.
