Like the fantasy airline flights filled with numerous thugs, the delusional election stunts continue. The riff here is on “autonomous zones”. x This is the latest attempt to distract from the fact that COVID-19 has infected over 6 million Americans, killed 185,000 people, and destroyed the American economy. The only anarchy...
Who dares be nasty to god-emperor Trump and his toady, Mike Pence (and his Mother).

Real researchers, scientists, doctors, nurses, clinicians, grade-schoolers, and your aunt Karen, recognize that the wearing of masks reduces the spread of the coronavirus.

Seeding 50,000 enthusiastic Republican voters with coronavirus and then sending them home to their Republican friends and loved ones sounds like a diabolical Democratic plan, but no.

I’ve seen a few headlines and analyses this morning asserting that Trump has “gambled” in his decision to assassinate Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani. This is almost certainly incorrect, for this reason: “Gambling,” while inherently reckless, still involves some sort of understanding of the rules of the game, the stakes, and the...
I always loved nature, ever since I was a barefoot kid chasing tadpoles and minnows in Omaha’s Papio Creek. I always loved unions, too, especially after I got a truck driving job at Teamster wages in Oakland California, at double my prior non-union earnings. For forty years, I’ve tried to...

Hey, don’t worry about anything — particularly not the environment. Donald Trump is on it.

Well, that’s karma — or whatever the Christian equivalent of karma is. Eternal perdition?

Too busy? Yesterday he told a longwinded story about stacks of bald eagles dying underneath windmills. He also tweeted 14 times. By definition, he’s not too busy. CNN: After a morning court hearing where Trump sought to hold off the congressional subpoena of his accounting firm, the Justice Department told...
I guess they died of cancer. I suppose this is an apt metaphor for what’s happening in our country these days, but for some reason I don’t think it’s true. Call me crazy. During another one of his “unique” rallies yesterday — this one in Louisiana — the actual president of the...
