Daniel Dale totals the lies so far by the one-eyed Mango King. Note that the GOP members of the House Intel committee repeated the meme of #41 during its hearings. It’s been hard to communicate just how comprehensively Trump has been lying about his Ukraine
Without panicking, the potential chaos of the 2016 election, regardless of result could repeat itself, noting Moscow Mitch’s complicity then and now in 2020 election security. This training event could be amusing except that William Barr’s recent speech to the Federalist society warned of impending
There is something to the distinct difference between a real Progressives and a real Conservative. It is not about wrong or right. It is about different views on human nature and how best to have a society that best functions within its constraints. This interview
One “advantage” of having been hospitalized for 76 hours is that I was able to watch a substantial amount of the impeachment hearings on Wed and Fri. While in general my thoughts were, as might be expected, in general focused on other topics (including getting
All that complaining about “second hand information” as WH witnesses are being embargoed just got worse with the David Holmes statement. At what moment will the closing walls squash Gordon Sondland. Holmes said Sondland responded Trump only cares about “big stuff.” When Holmes said that the
Economist Professor Richard Wolff gave a compelling reason for moving to the next economic system. His rhetorical question ‘Are we going to let a declining system take us down with it?’ is prescient. Economist Richard Wolff asked the right question Professor Economist Richard Wolff &
When asked if she felt threatened, former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch answered with a simple, “yes.” Anyone, to this point, who does not believe the President of the United States has not warranted his own Impeachment is either pouring the water, stirring in the sugar
“Sideshow Amigos” and “Sideshow Shreks” still remain at large in our imagination, as the House Intel Committee deposed Ambassador Yovanovitch. The GOP tried several procedural stunts, but lost the message as Trump tweeted an attack during the opening. What remained were what has now become
First they came for the land. The next thing you know, you are marching along a Trail of Tears. If Obama had done this he would have been kicked out so fast. This is horrible. The Trump administration is preparing court filings to begin
The high Arctic is in serious trouble from the fossil fuel and extraction industries to the degradation of the region’s biomes from climate change. Despite the best efforts of the Trump regime to silence climate scientists, while sabotaging and burying their work, more and more
Professor Economist Richard Wolff & Jacobin’s Bhaskar Sunkara faced off with WholeFoods Founder John Mackey and Reason’s Katherine Mangu-Ward at an Intelligence Squared debate titled “Capitalism Is a Blessing.” Mackey attempted to silence Wolff for justifiably challenging his faux magnanimity of taking a $1 in
Is there a difference between having “no choice” and having a precedent of three prior impeachments. Notably, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Wednesday that the upper chamber “has no choice” but to hold a trial, citing longstanding rules pertaining to the impeachment process. Not all Republicans agree
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. 1662. Proposed fees on asylum

On 12 October 2019, Gordon Sondland's decision to testify was a complete turnaround. He said he'd been directed by the State Department to not speak to the committees. The difficulty of a perjury conviction might not be enough to compel him to not show up Wednesday, considering there are now
Some civil disobedience acts are better than others, like storming a SCIF, because to Gaetz, some kayfabe stunts are more legal than others during an impeachment inquiry. On the bright side, at least Gaetz didn’t melt or burst into flames. x Gaetz wants women who
Republicans proudly advertised their radical ways during Wednesday's impeachment hearings into Donald Trump, wallowing in conspiracies and embracing debunked claims. The question now: How does the Beltway media cover a party that has aggressively removed itself from reality? How does the news business describe and treat
The Arms for Dirt whistleblower has, like Christopher Steele and his dossier, yet to be proven wrong, and yet considerable effort has been spent on trying to discredit them. Several times during today’s hearings attempts were made to try to insert the whistleblower into the
