He Who Shall Not Be Named (aka Chester Cheat-oh, aka the Abominable Showman, aka Fuckface McFuckington) now feels compelled to punish everyone, including the phalanx of toadies (aka the Republican Party) who failed to bend abjectly to his will in his final days. The Wall Street Journal: President [He Who...
Trump’s staff may have tricked him into thinking he has a line-item veto. Attention-seeking becomes purer for the desperate POTUS*. Trump dithered because he thinks that improves an “unpredictability” brand that shines the turd of incompetence. Trying to make indecisiveness a fashion statement only works when horseshoes are hand grenades. One...

Donald Trump is a geyser of misinformation, and normally Facebook is only too happy to funnel that fount of fucknuttery through a fire hose and hit America in the blessed nethers with it. But finally — finally — they’re doing something about his rampant dishonesty. Facebook says it has removed a Trump-shared post...

Don’t be surprised about this. Come on. Lying and finger-pointing have always been Donald Trump’s M.O. Why would anyone think he’d behave differently in an emergency? With the pressure on, his go-to defense mechanisms were bound to get even worse. Trump then suggests people are to blame if they can't...
It is late for me to “decide.” It is even later than usual for me to to vote. I can and usually vote absentee in person on the first day possible — I live in Virginia but work in Maryland so I have no trouble qualifying for the privilege to...
Received this e-mail today from former Columbus, GA Mayor, Teresa Tomlinson’s (D.

Remember when Gerald Ford took all the credit for America’s bicentennial? No, of course not. He just stumbled down staircases every once in a while. Man, I miss those days.

A good opening to a Paul Waldman column today: A quarter-century ago, a certain New York real estate investor took an interest in negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union over nuclear weapons. Apparently he believed that if he got in a room with the Russians, he could...
