If you’ve ever seen a recently landed fish flopping around in the bottom of a boat desperately trying to get back to familiar waters, you’ll be prepared for this. Donald Trump wants this election to be about racism, fear of foreigners, white grievance, transphobia, the brutal repression of “anarchists,” and anything else in his wheelhouse. He definitely…

AL-Sen: Apparently D.C.'s Self-Quarantine Order Doesn't Apply To Tommy Tuberville (R)
This guy is such an asshole: Alabama GOP Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville is fundraising and holding face-to-face meetings in Washington this week, defying orders from the city that visitors from certain coronavirus hot spots quarantine upon arrival. Tuberville spent at least some of his time in D.C. at the Trump International Hotel, according to a photo posted to…
“The difference this time is the fact that he’s running his game on a virus,” the virus doesn't care
In a new article, David A. Fahrenthold, Joshua Partlow, and Jonathan O'Connell review the Trump U grift and draw parallels to the Trump University debacle and the Trump presidency itself during the pandemic. The virus doesn’t care, and we’ve seen how despite the usual disinformation ploys Trump is on the path to fail. In this case,…
Mary Trump says Ivanka is worse than useless: 'She doesn’t do anything'
Sun on the patio, a bit of weed, some Daiya vegan cheesecake, and a pinch of piquant Ivanka schadenfreude. It appears that Donald Trump isn’t the only Trump Ms. Mary Trump is less than impressed with. Ivanka, it appears, has been found wanting beneath the gimlet-eyed gaze of the One and Only Smart Trump. In a…
Shtick-POTUS* – Trump is all about the rallies, it's why he doesn't know anything about bounties
Haberman calls it “A re-election effort adrift, at once paralyzed by Mr. Trump’s erratic behavior yet also dependent on him to execute his own Houdini-like political escape.” And Yet Tucker Carlson may be planning his ascendancy to the 2024 GOP nomination only partially assuming Trump’s loss this year: “The moment Trump leaves, they will attack him,” he said. “They’ll…
So Pence Doesn't Want To Stick His Head In COVID-19 Oven In FL and AZ Now.
It appears that Vice President “Lies His Ass Off For Trump” Pence is postponing his pro-COVID-19 “Faith in America” tour of Florida and Arizona. Vice President Mike Pence has postponed his “Faith in America” tour events in Florida and Arizona amid rapidly rising coronavirus cases in both states. “Vice President Pence will no longer participate in campaign events in…
FOX News Defends Slave Owners: 'It Doesn't Mean They Were Terrible People'
There is a bitter controversy spreading across America like a viral pandemic. The nation's past is being held to greater scrutiny as a result of repeated incidents of unarmed black Americans being murdered by the police. This evidence of systemic racism has boiled over into a much needed dialog on what values our country ought…
GA-Sen B: Jezebel, “NRA Queen Apparently Doesn't Think The Second Amendment Applies to Black People”
From Ashley Reese at Jezebel: Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler—who rose to national prominence after being implicated in an alleged covid-19 insider trading clusterfuck—has a fast and loose definition of who the second amendment applies to, despite presenting herself as a gun rights champion. And she made this loud and clear during a hilariously racist Fox News segment Thursday morning. During…
Whoa, Trump sure doesn't like this new Biden ad
Forgive me if this has already been shared, but it’s a must-see: x Donald Trump is apparently losing his mind on twitter over this ad so watch it and retweet it to share it far and wide. pic.twitter.com/WNSnmFZfr0 — Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) June 19, 2020 Trump’s totally sane and measured response? x The Democrats are…
AZ-Sen: “McSally ad features health care testimonial from her former aide, doesn't disclose ties”
EPIC FAIL! x YouTube Video Sen. Martha McSally has a new campaign ad featuring a cancer survivor who talks about how her “path collided” with McSally, whom she describes as a champion for protecting those with pre-existing medical conditions. The emotional television ad, which started Thursday, doesn’t disclose that the woman worked for McSally’s congressional…
He doesn't need to be in this country, let alone president. Leave and take the cult with you. A Rant
I have been a veterans advocate for years. I never ever heard one say that when at war they whined and complained about sleeping in the rain and mud while taking a crap holding on to a tree with people shooting at them, I have never heard them say they thought about just leaving and…
Vote-By-Mail Doesn't Favor Dems – But Blocking It Favors Trump
An analysis in this morning’s New York Times — Does Vote-by-Mail Favor Democrats? No. It’s a False Argument by Trump. — shows that voting by mail (VBM) doesn’t necessarily tilt the election to the Democrats: As with false claims by Republicans about vote-by-mail fraud, there is no evidence to back up the argument from the…
Howard Stern: 'I can honestly tell you that Donald doesn't give one sh*t about public service'
Howard Stern had Donald Trump on his radio show numerous times before Trump decided to intrude on our lives like a painful rash that won’t go away — and he allowed the future IMPOTUS to embarrass himself over and over again. So Stern knows Trump pretty well, and he also knows that Trump is a grade…
The U.S. may end up with the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the industrialized world. Trump doesn't care
America “First” It’s going to get worse before it gets better, really. x Trump: “Nobody would have ever thought a thing like this could happen.” Again, many people thought a thing like this could happen, including the Trump administration, which conducted a simulation last year underscoring how underprepared the government was. https://t.co/8zq8vxCu4z — Peter Baker…
Trump on Fauci: ‘He doesn’t not disagree with me’ …nothing worse than last-minute ideologies
Trump posted this before he went to bed this morning. Probably angry about the threat of wind turbine cancer. x This will never be approved by me, or any other Republican! https://t.co/jWcGaS2QZC— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 24, 2020 Considering there’s a # #MoscowMitchSlushFund and opaque accountability for where the $500 billion goes, it’s a very…
“Trump’s cognitive decline/problems are that he doesn’t even seem to have comprehension of reality”
Fascinating short piece in Washington Monthly about the disinformation that the GOP will try to wage against Biden’s health even as GuapoTrumpHaus(Blanco) IMPOTUS* seems to be the real cognitive invalid. During a town hall on Fox News Thursday night, Trump once again alluded to the idea that Biden is unfit for office. While the lies about the Bidens…
Trump says COVID-19 is like “the flu” and Mike Pence believes “smoking doesn't kill”
Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. Doublespeak may take the form of euphemisms, in which case it is primarily meant to make the truth sound more palatable. It may also refer to intentional ambiguity in language or to actual inversions of meaning. Double-talk is a form of…
It doesn't matter who wins the primary. Russia Again ! We have to stop this.
So when do we start interfering in Russian elections? I know ..I know… we can’t do that but this crap is an act of war. We are a soverign nation or supposed to be. If I wanted to be Russian with a Russian run country, I would fly my ass off to Moscow and get used to…
Moscow Mitch Makes Mistake [Updated: He Admits He Doesn't Have the Votes]
Nicholas Fandos writes in the New York Times impeachment liveblog that “There might be a strategic reason the trial is slowing down,” pointing out that the Trump defense has slowed its delivery, and that the question period (16 hours total) may be stretched out over two days. This will push the vote over witnesses to…
Trump says he'd love to show up at trial and 'stare in their corrupt faces'; so why doesn't he?
Today at a press conference following the 2020 Davos Global Economic Summit, Donald Trump claimed that he’d love to show up at his impeachment trial and confront his accusers. I assume this will happen right after he runs into an active-shooter situation at a school. Because Trump is nothing if not a big bowl of bluster and…
