I’m always gobsmacked whenever anyone gets in bed with Donald Trump—either literally or figuratively—because, for one, he never shows love or loyalty to anyone and, for another … ew, gross. Last week, we discovered that glitching espresso machine cum coffee boy Rudy Giuliani wants Trump to pay him for his legal...

“As in the Times Op-Ed from which the book originated, the title refers to the results of studies conducted in Germany from the mid-nineteen-eighties onward, which reported, among other intriguing findings, that eighty per cent of East German women always experienced orgasm during sex, compared to sixty-three per cent of...
There is supposed to be another presser at 1030am ET in Boulder. The shooter was injured. The details will simply get worse. At least three people were shot in the street presumably as the shooter entered the store. The location is south of the university campus and the central city in...
I love dogs. I didn’t used to. My wife had dogs when we started dating, and I came to love the little monsters. Now it’s hard to imagine a life without a furry friend/fiend. So when I found out dogs would be returning to the White House after a four-year hiatus,...
Russia targeted people close to Trump in bid to influence 2020 election, U.S. intelligence says, in an apparent reference to Rudy Giuliani. The Office of the Director for National Intelligence released an unclassified version of a classified analysis of foreign influence in the 2020 election. More obvious is the continuity from...
I’ve seen general pieces about the filibuster and its history, and so let me be specific that I am asking for commentary that is a little deeper, or granular. My question is simple — I’’m old enough to have been politically aware since the Ford/Carter years, and for most of my life the...
Too bad, so sad, Donald. The occupant's alleged accusations of corruption in the presidential Wisconsin vote totals have made Trump face an uncomfortable dilemma. The law checkmates Trump because he has to give up the big bucks if he wants his recount for fraud and voting irregularities. He has produced no evidence...
Trump and his supporters are such dupes that rather than taking a village, it may take a dominatrix to de-program Trumpists: But up until recently, there’s one group of potential Biden voters who have not been the subject of voter outreach: kinky, submissive male Trump supporters with humiliation fetishes. Now,...
There’s better news for 2020 because the Dornsife poll had predicted the approaching bad news for Clinton in the 2016 election, however accidentally. Biden is in much better shape with three weeks left. But there will be disinformation as the GOP gets desperate. For example, it can be hazardous to draw broad conclusions...
Sorry, this is going to be quick, because it’s late even on the west coast, and I only stopped in for a minute to read the latest on Trump’s health. There are several diaries up right now arguing about the implications, but I didn’t see one on the point I...
I’ll never understand why people think Republican presidents — and Republicans in general — are good for the economy. We have decades of economic data that say otherwise. When it comes to the economy, Republicans are like loud, stumbling drunks who keep insisting they’re okay to drive. Every Friday and Saturday...
Well while Wall Street is rolling in the money now, things are about to change. Coca-Cola will eliminate thousands of jobs in the U.S. and abroad, the company said Friday. It's the latest in a series of cuts that have reduced the beverage giant's workforce by roughly 100,000 in the...
Uh … sure. God forbid that ever happen. (Second tweet) x TRUMP: “You better vote for me or you are going to have the greatest depression you have ever seen.” pic.twitter.com/EltgyLJKlw— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 29, 2020 Let’s see, the current unemployment rate is 10.2 percent, GDP plunged nearly 32 percent...
Making an orange juice and rice wine trap for murder hornets doesn’t encourage thinking about the oncoming possibility that Washington State may also be a bellwether for Trump’s swing state strength. We all may be drinking more rice wine soon. Pray for Mantises. With murder hornets growing up to two inches...
The land of flaming nitwits. More federal government shakedowns, courtesy of the GOP, complete with payoffs to try to get re-elected. x This may be the single greatest protest chant of all time…Please someone get some audio and play it as part of an on air segment ðÂÂÂðÂÂÂð pic.twitter.com/XFr0mmOl0Xâ Jason...
Trump shows up late again and repeats the same spin, not acknowledging the lead in deaths. The real headlines will come from more Trump mistakes, like well-wishing Ghislaine Maxwell and mentioning Prince Andrew, as well as continuing the same campaign speech lies. x Also, without watching this presser, I've deduced...
GOP bafflegab cannot outweigh actual numbers, but they will continue to inhabit the GOP’s disinformation campaign through November. Swing states remain the key. x .@PressSec: Every state is better off than South Korea. SK â¡︠258 DeathsUS â¡︠82,380 Deaths These 32 states are NOT better off than South Korea...
Today’s presser had more Trump lies. Trump claimed that the numbers are now going down. They aren’t. The same press questions happened and Trump chose not to answer ones asking for specificity. Why can’t we get tested as easily as Trump. He didn’t answer that question. Trump repeats his same bafflegab,...
Giggling RWNJs seized on a Biden comment that only reveals how much context will be needed with an IMPOTUS who’s a pathological liar. If @realDonaldTrump said this the left would mock and the MSM would write articles about economic intercourse for days. — Dr. Russ Arnold, Esq. (@Russarnold22) April 28,...
Michelle Goldberg from The New York Times has a piece out that I recommend sharing to any fellow progressives who still aren’t sold yet on Joe Biden’s campaign to deliver on progressive policy: Lawrence Mishel, a well-known labor economist, has been a critic of centrist Democrats for decades. “My adult...
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/446461592029630464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw With his catastrophic mishandling of the coronavirus, Trump has established himself as the worst president in U.S. history. Far worse is the human carnage. We already have more confirmed coronavirus cases than any other country. Trump claimed on Feb. 26 that the outbreak would soon be “down to close to zero.”...
All of Trump’s infomercial yesterday went down the tubes because he can’t be confronted with his own words, especially when he thinks only his base listens to Sean Hannity. x The MAGA geniuses are responding that Metro area of Seoul is actually 25 million. So, the argument is he was...
Trump continues to push his disinformation, aside from not knowing how big Seoul is. And still there’s no national stay-at-home order 160,000+ US cases, 3,000+ deaths with aggregated testing claims versus tests per capita. For several days Trump touted meaningless statistical blather saying “US testing was more in eight days than South...
This should be common sense, but some people apparently still need to hear it: x Please do not take medical advice from a man who looked directly at a solar eclipse.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) March 24, 2020 If only these folks had heeded the august Madam Secretary’s advice before deciding...
The NewYorker’s Susan Glasser finds a single word to describe the Trump era that really isn’t about underpants gnomes, even if it applies to most Trumpian policies, such as they are. There must be one of those long German words for all that soul-sickening worry, right? Some tortured mouthful of...
No, Michelle Obama is not running for president, or any other office. But her husband thinks that in general it wouldn’t be a bad idea. From the BBC: Barack Obama: Women are better leaders than men. If women ran every country in the world there would be a general improvement...
The Christmas season is upon us and even the decorations get politicized. I saw a commercial of Be Best Melania walking through her decorative WH theme this year. I have to admit she did so much better than the bloody trees and spooky decorations of Christmas Trump past. I...
Trump probably made him wear it. Yes, that is a Space Force hat. — Tom Brenner (@tombrennerphoto) November 29, 2019 From new YouGov poll….

x On impeachment, Democrats face challenges of focus and scope. Go big or go narrow? Fast or slow? https://t.co/ZAIHd821M1 — Rick Klein (@rickklein) September 27, 2019 The question remains whether the impeachment process should proceed as fast as possible, considering that speed will favor letting the GOP get “past” it...
AOC, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar are dealing with Trump as a group and individually better than any male in politics (does anybody remember the Republican primary?) or the media (stop that giggling Chuck Todd). I think this should put to bed once and for all the claim...
Out of necessity, Democrats are pushing a lot of overdue social and economic policy proposals. After all, the wealthy, the powerful, and corporations have been getting all the spoils of our expanding economy. Student loans are at the forefront of these programs, and the burden they put on the economy...
So perhaps people are waking up to the news reports that Smollett orchestrated the MAGA attack on him. This will be explosive. Donald Trump Jr. has already tweeted on it and you know Trump Sr. is going to be all over this. This is a very dangerous and confusing situation...
