Here’s some encouraging news out of South Carolina: Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jaime Harrison raised $10.6 million during the month of August in his bid to unseat three-term Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham, according to his campaign.

White House on accused shooter Kyle Rittenhouse: 'The president is not going to weigh in on that'
President LAW & ORDER seems pretty reticent when it comes to, er … wait, this can’t be right … a white 17-year-old who killed two people and injured another with an AR-15? Why would anyone in their right mind not want to instantly and unequivocally condemn that? Never mind. We’re talking about the president of the United…

Miles Taylor: Trump 'is going to hear from more people that served in his administration' and 'soon'
Yesterday, Miles Taylor, who worked in Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security for two years, including as its chief of staff, wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post detailing the ocher abomination’s horrifying management style, which included turning “DHS, the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, into a tool used for [Trump’s] political benefit.” Taylor wrote…
MT-Sen: Steve Bullock (D) Hits Steve Daines (R) For Going On Vacation While Trump Destroys The USPS
Received this e-mail from Governor Steve Bullock’s (D. MT) U.S. Senate campaign: Millions of Americans depend on the United States Postal Service to deliver essential goods, medicines, mail-in ballots, and more — through rain, sleet, heat, and even a pandemic. But the coronavirus has hit the USPS hard, and without immediate financial support, it could…
He fed the tigers that are going to EAT him.
Wow… Just wow. I don’t have to write a darn thing in this diary. Read the facts. They don’t lie. This is gonna hurt Trump big time. He fed the tigers that fueled their rise in politics. He actually fed the tigers who are going to eat him in 2020. We know he donated to Clinton…
Trump Reveals New Campaign Slogan: “This is Going to Be The Greatest Election Disaster in History”
When someone is suffering from severe mental infirmities, they are prone to making remarks that inadvertently expose the depths of their derangement. Donald Trump is a prime example of this. And he just provided another instance to add to the cornucopia of commentaries that serve to prove how socially distant he is from reality. On…
Reporter: “Do you feel that she's going to turn in powerful men?” Trump: “I wish her well”
Strange day yesterday in the Trump presser. 142,000 Americans have died–there’s still no plan for the #TrumpVirus. Trump wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well. Trump has yet to condemn Russia for bounties on US troops. x I wish SDNY well (in the case of Ghislaine Maxwell)— Preet Bharara (@PreetBharara) July 22, 2020 x Must have been a…
Trump's tele-rallies are as safe as going back to schoolrooms?
Trump believes that he can do tele-rallies (sic) but the Trump campaign has not ruled out holding in-person campaign rallies. The rest was the usual nonsense because don’t you know, Biden will destroy the suburbs (sic). And the delusional lies continue from Michigan’s Man of the Year (sic). Trump held what was described as his “first ever…
FEARFUL TRUMP'S Extremist Attacks Are Escalating and It's Only Going to Get Worse
There is an unmistakable stench of desperation in the White House that is spreading like a virus. Donald Trump may be as delusionally confident as ever on the surface, but his behavior is more reflective of someone consumed by fear and a grossly misperceived sense of victimization. Trump has plenty to be worried about. His…
When Trump has a “Hate” tab in a binder, his niece is going to “take precautions”
A “virulently racist” Trump has made the nation seem like Stockholm Syndrome’s identifying with the terrorist, as Mary Trump doesn’t underestimate the Trump family’s vindictiveness. The last question by Rachel Maddow was concern for Mary Trump’s personal safety, now that the book is now generally available; she’s taken precautions. Denial is a river, flowing to the…
So I am going back to school
to finish my doctorate. I abandoned my previous attempt almost 20 years ago with a dissertation almost half written for a variety of reasons I choose not to revisit now. In the meantime, my interests had changed greatly and I was no longer excited by the topic on which I had been working. I had…
IA-Sen: “If we win here in Iowa, we are going to win back the majority of the U.S. Senate”
Newsweek has a great piece out about the upcoming U.S. Senate race between incumbent U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R. IA) and businesswoman Theresa Greenfield (D. IA). It’s a great recap on the current state of the race and how crucial Iowa is to winning the U.S. Senate: As the race between Ernst and Greenfield heats…
Trump, the superspreader, going to Oklahoma because chaos will re-elect him
There are now 119,000 deaths to date and 2.2 million cases of COVID-19 in the US. Trump will likely blame the virus superspread event in Tulsa on protesters, as the media frames can be written in the most arcane ways: “they pulled off my mask”, “they coughed on me”, as Trump really would like some…
Georgia officers held 5 black young teenagers going through a neighborhood at gunpoint.
Here we go again. Police officers decided to hold young teenagers at gunpoint as they walk through a Georgia neighborhood. See the entire episode here. UPDATE: We may be looking at very good policing that occurred after a bad start. I have very mixed feelings about how this entire incident evolved from the 911 call from…
Kushner Going Under the Bus?
Jared Kushner, wonder boy, prince of darkness, the “jar” part of Jarvanka, is getting some really bad press right now. Not about his many failures and his total unfitness for any of his many portfolios, but because Bunker Boy may finally have had it with him. Vanity Fair just put out this story: “He’s Going…

Trump on coronavirus: ‘This is so unfair to me! Everything was going great'
The redoubtable Gabe Sherman has another missive from the bottomless bowl of Kooky Krunch that is the White House. As you probably guessed, Donald Trump thinks the coronavirus that’s circled the globe and killed 100,000 Americans and counting has been totally unfair … to His Majesty. Vanity Fair: As he headed into Memorial Day weekend, Donald Trump complained…
Trump is Going to Show the US How to Open Up Even if it Kills Him
Political Wire posted one story at the top of its front page and another to the side: the first says Pence Self-Isolating After Aide Tests Positive for Coronavirus, while the second says the opposite: Pence will not self-quarantine and plans to be at the White House Monday. Speaking out of both sides of his mouth…
Trump blurts Happy Talk on going back to normal in latest interview “There will be more death…”
More Trump lies in ABC interview, but he wants the ratings, because it’s Mourning in America. “There'll be more death, that the virus will pass, with or without a vaccine. And I think we're doing very well on the vaccines but, with or without a vaccine, it's going to pass, and we're going to be…
