Donald Trump said some stupid shit about the Oscars today, because he’s gone from being the worst pr*sident in U.S. history to writing the worst blog on the internet. (I can’t even find an archive of his “statements.” That’s how far off the grid he is these days.) You may have noticed you...

Trump campaign staffers were behind the rally that led to the violent insurrection at the Capitol according to documents obtained by the AP. The campaign denied that they were involved and blamed it on low-level former employees described as “kids.” Throwing the kids under the bus, what vile and despicable...

Desperate disinformation failed miserably as so many Trumpists were obsessed with selfie declarations of their assault on the Capitol yesterday. Because they wanted trophies and attention-seeking recognition, many familiar “alt-right” white supremacists revealed themselves, as well as some public officials and even at least one police chief. x There is no...
Today Ruddy Ghouliani submits his briefs to the Supremes Kort. “The evidence is plain for all to see” he wailed a hand firmly gripping his tighty whiteys. “Where?” said the squinting correspondent, Ruddy pulled an envelope out of his back pocket and out slipped a bottle of black ink, he...
Thinking recently about questions for nominee Amy Coney Barrett, and her Originalism theory, I thought of an interesting argument — “Originalism is not a valid judicial theory because there is no evidence that the constitutional framers believed in it.” See that? How can you have a valid “Originalist” theory that the...
Jack Burkman’s house supposedly got raided by the FBI this morning and seized computers and cellphones among other evidence.

This is perfect. Here is Republican Senator John Barrasso on January 22nd, dismissing the House Managers’ case and opposing the call for taking additional evidence: “We’ve just come out listening to, what, six hours of testimony, and I didn’t hear anything new,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters early Wednesday evening. “It...
The Raging War Boner Party is at it again. They just can’t stop getting us involved in Middle Eastern wars based on false pretenses, the little rascals. For the past three years we’ve had to deal with numerous nauseating Golf of Ton-King incidents, but now we’re back to the banal, garden-variety Gulf...
“Ice shelves are the most vulnerable parts of Antarctica’s ice sheet system and we know that they are shrinking, but what we didn’t know before this work was how that was impacting the grounded ice behind them.” Helen Amanda Fricker, Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Disheartening news out of Antarctica, once again,...
More Trump lies and disinformation. Remember that Trump did his little recitation stunt on the South Lawn during chopper talk to draw attention away from the testimony of the July 26 French restaurant phone call in Kyiv. There’s no evidence Trump’s September 9 ‘no quid pro quo’ conversation with Sondland ever...
