As the headline says, I have Republican friends, co-workers, neighbors and so on. I got added to one of their message lists, and they had quite the reaction when I celebrated Biden’s win. I don't personally know everyone on the list but they are all White and I am reasonably sure that each one has…

To my Latino Friends and voters
Don’t make funeral plans for you or your family because of Trump’s lies and incompetence. I appreciate the POC vote. I appreciate the seniors who are flipping to Biden. I appreciate Veterans and Act Blue. I do not speak Spanish but I have a Puerto Rican friend and activist helping get people out to the polls. …
The Daily Bucket–Soros and my friends, the yellow jackets.
“Oyez! The Summer Session of Frog Court is called to order, Judge Jeramiah Bullfrog presiding,” honked the Bailiff, who was a Canadian goose. In strode two robed judges, who were six foot tall bullfrogs, trying to walk on two legs, but instead hopping from foot to foot. The third bullfrog was resplendently unclothed in his…
NFL player & friends asked to leave Chipotle ’cause white customer uncomfortable.
The Right gets upset when we call out systemic racism. This week black football player Darius Leonard was thrown out of a Chipotle restaurant. Last week Marcia Grant and her family were denied entrance into Ouzo Bay restaurant under the pretext of her son's attire even as another white family similarly attired was eating there. Chipotle throws…
Trump is a dumpster fire. But have any of your Republican friends admitted that to you?
Trump’s unfitness for office, and his destruction of government institutions and norms, is positively cartoonish in its obviousness and threat. But — three years in — have any of your Republican friends admitted that to you? It is a really important question because as bad as Trump is, the long term threat to the country consists of…
Fox & Friends Host Says Trump is Behaving Like a Third Grader
Fox & Friends has been Trump’s go-to place for ego-stroking since before the beginning. If he’s lost them, he’s really lost. And he’s losing them. Trump made some nasty cracks about Chris Wallace this morning: Just watched Mike Wallace wannabe, Chris Wallace, on @FoxNews. I am now convinced that he is even worse than Sleepy…
Mike Bloomberg says Trump's New York friends laugh at him behind his back
Well, “friends” might be a stretch. I don’t think Trump actually has friends. Associates? Gobsmacked, open-mouthed starers? Mike Bloomberg knows Donald Trump and knows how to get his goat. After Trump attacked the self-made billionaire business genius’ height yet again this morning, Bloomberg hit Trump where it hurts: x .@realDonaldTrump – we know many of the…
CBC edited Trump out of its showing of Home Alone 2; Fox & Friends thinks it's a conspiracy
I envy the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. I wish I could edit Donald Trump out of my head. Unfortunately, I’m told very few insurance plans will approve that kind of surgery, no matter how many times I tell them it’s not really “elective.” So the CBC edited Trump out of its broadcast of Home Alone 2,…
Trump calls into Fox & Friends to throw himself under the bus
When you have the gnocchi-heads at Fox & Friends asking skeptical questions, you know you’ve gone off the deep end. Donald Trump appeared on his favorite show this morning to rant like an elderly man masturbating to vintage JC Penney catalogs in front of Dunkin’ Donuts. Trump can’t get over his pet (and, for the record,…
Beware: Attacks on Medicare for All from foes and 'friends' are well-orchestrated. They're also lies
Attacks on Medicare for All are coming from all sides. But activists and supporters must not disengage, lest they cede ground to those whose sole interest is easy profits from a patently corrupt healthcare system. Republicans taught Democrats and progressives an important lesson: Repetition and message discipline is not only important, it is also effective. Most importantly, in…
