GOP AGs have been busy supporting the Trumpian delusion and sedition. The 1/6 Commission will have plenty of narrative content. Not unlike the mania for appointing Trump judges, the GQP AGs are a cabal that for some evangelicals, theocratically leads to a dominionist (fascist) state. Not unlike the QAnons who believe...

Who ever thought the postmaster general would become a lightning rod of controversy? I always pictured him sitting around eating Pepperidge Farm cookies and leafing through the Old Farmer’s Almanac to find out when he should plant his heirloom tomatoes. And if Louis DeJoy were drawing a salary to do...
I seriously can’t keep up with the crazy sometimes. Just as I’m done reeling from the latest Trump grotesquerie, another comes along. And another. It’s as if my dentist has gone from administering a little bit of nitrous to help me through a difficult teeth cleaning to sawing open my skull...
I don’t know how else to describe someone who is pro-coronavirus as anything but evil, or as The Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Joseph Gerth calls Kentucky State Attorney General as “bidding to become Kentucky’s most prolific serial killer.” But Daniel Cameron is evil.

It’s getting weirder, now that Trump tweets a copy of his lawyer, John Dowd, attacking General James Mattis. Trump can still afford a lawyer to do his defaming for him, since Trump made up false tweets so far about Mattis. Unhingery abounds, not exactly Lenin and Trotsky, more like Abbott-Costello. The...

Even when I’m not high I have a hard time following Donald Trump’s “logic,” and today was no exception. Being high doesn’t help either, come to think of it. Neither does huffing solvent. Or glue. Or Clorox. You pretty much have to fill your mouth with steel wool, drop three...
Received this e-mail from Attorney General Josh Shaprio’s (D. PA) re-election campaign: Voting is a right. It should never be a privilege for just a few.

Unapologetic democratic socialism will survive 2020, but if Trump wins, there could be no democracy by the 2024 election.
