Trump Presser: aside from all the American deaths, there have been fewer American deaths
Today’s takeaway from another presser that this time was an hour late: Trump thinks the massive fertilizer explosion in Beirut was an attack, Trump gathered new data to try to divert attention from the current economic recession.

ME-Sen: The American Prospect, “Gideon (D) Got Game”
Gabrielle Gurley has a great piece on Maine House Speaker and U.S. Senate candidate, Sara Gideon (D. ME), in The American Prospect that is worth the read: Sara Gideon had to be on point.

Psycho Trump Rips Biden for Stealing 'Buy American' From Him
The acute psychoses of Donald Trump are well documented. His egomaniacal self-image as a “very stable genius” who knows more about war than generals, more about economics than economists, more about healthcare and epidemics than doctors, and so much more, is way more than sufficient proof of his malignant narcissism and delusions of grandeur. Contributing…
Joe Biden Builds Momentum & Public Support For His Buy American Plan
Received this e-mail from former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: Make no mistake: America has been knocked down. The unemployment rate is higher than it was in the Great Recession.

Trump says 'the American way of life' started when Columbus landed …
… in the Caribbean, of course. The Genocidal Genoan never set foot in what we now know as the United States. And he had no idea where he was. And the “American way of life” he started was slavery. And greed/plunder. And wanton cruelty. And mass murder. But other than that — inspirational, Mr. President! x…
… to be an American ….
This was originally posted July 4, 2018. I repost it because I find it still very relevant. On this, our nation’s birthday, I have had numerous thoughts running through my mind as I compare the idea of America, as flawed as it may have historically been in its implementation, and what we currently confront with…
Trump's anti-iconoclasm and Damnatio Memoirae, “why no one knows who won the American Revolution”
Trump has just issued an executive order to protect statues. This faux martial law applies only for objects, and specifically protects by inference, right-wing extremism. Because Trump wants to sanction only one side of those “very fine people” and protect appearance rather than substance in public spaces. The farcical Trump regime is nearly gone, but not…
Krugman: Denial of Covid-19 Is an American Tradition
Paul Krugman has done it again. His latest column combines the erudition of a Nobel laureate with the plain speaking of an excellent writer: A Plague of Willful Ignorance. A hundred years ago, he writes, there was a plague of pellagra disease in the South. A doctor working for the federal government diagnosed the problem…
“American Taliban” trends again because Ted Cruz thinks Columbus is a religious icon
We are in some strange space where to Ted Cruz, those people taking down monuments to genocidal explorers are like fundamentalist religious fanatics practicing iconoclasm.

American COVID-19 Capitalism: Trash bags for doctors & medical personnel protective clothing.
If America can only clothe its medical personnel attending those infected with COVID-19 with trash bags, how can we send people back to work knowing so many are unprotected. Both Glenn Beck and Texas Lieutenant Dan Patrick are wrong. It is not necessary for the elderly to put themselves at risk to save our failed…
