Mussolini moment, no more #GaspingForAir at the Esso station in Milan. Trump declares himself immune. Cray-cray. x Deranged man in grips of deadly disease claims to be “immune” minutes after gasping for air on live television. https://t.co/uf4UCyZ3nr— The Hoarse Whisperer (@TheRealHoarse) October 6, 2020 First, Trump takes off his mask, very strongly, very heavily.

Trump's revisionist history and confirming mini-strokes by projection
Trump denies something that no one has actually reported – that he had a series of mini-strokes. Using Trumpian logic this could mean that he only had one or more mini-strokes, just not in a “series”. x So, do we take this as confirmation that he “suffered a series of mini-strokes”? https://t.co/c1YmbSJn7u— Lawrence O'Donnell (@Lawrence) September…
GOP tries to rewrite history yet again for Trump's pandemic incompetence and inaction
The GOP keeps trying to rewrite history as a quarter-million deaths lie ahead with a failed policy, as if any death toll could be spun positively. 3 takeaways from the first night of the Republican National Convention 1. A promise of optimism, quickly abandoned The GOP claimed that this convention would be significantly more optimistic than Democrats’…
Trumpian history at the Council for National Policy: “Two things don't change: walls and wheels.”
“I’m the only thing standing between the American dream and total anarchy, madness and chaos.” Trump at the Council for National Policy Recalling that Mark Burnett wanted once to have Trump arrive at an event like Hitler at the Nuremburg rallies, next week’s GOP convention should have bombast to compensate for all the clusterflopping going…
the last free election in US history… maybe, removing swing-state postal sorting machines?
He’s golfing again this weekend in Bedminster. Will he do more pseudo-pressers and populate the “press corps” with “reporters’ from Epoch Times, Gateway Pundit, and OAN. “The president is back at his New Jersey golf resort, bringing his taxpayer-paid golf tab to $142 million.” x Trump’s here at Bedminster, his New Jersey golf club. He’ll…
The History of Trump's World Part 2
In Mel Brooks’ brilliant cinematic spoof, the ‘History of the World Part 1,’ world history is pilloried,parodied, and pushed to the limits, creating uproarious laughter, but that is a movie. In his most serious and somber, oh so somber voice the President credited the 1917(sic)Spanish flu with ending World War II. “The closest thing is…

Glad to see this: A Democratic candidate for one of Georgia's U.S. Senate seats is weighing in on his opponent's stance on the Black Lives Matter movement – saying the issue is about more than just politics. “The folks at the WNBA, NASCAR, NBA and NFL are all trying to find themselves on the right…
MS, SC, KY, GA & TX-Sen: Axios, “Black Senate candidates could make history in 2020”
From Axios: There are five black men running for U.S. Senate in the South as Democrats who could not only make history, but are using this unique moment to have difficult, intimate conversations about being black in America. Why it matters: There have only been 10 black senators in U.S. history, and it wasn't until 2013…
291 Trump lies: “We had probably the best economy in the history of the world…bigger than anybody”
WaPo made an adjustment and Trump has now lied 18,000 times. The comparison is staggering on Trump’s economic claims. APR 03 2020 “Again, we had the strongest economy in the world. We had our best ever. We had probably the best economy in the history of the world, bigger than China, bigger than anybody.” Repeated 291 times…
Do winners write the history of death and taxes “…it largely depends on who's writing the history”
So much historical revisionism, so little time, as George Conway reminds us that Trump trying to keep his taxes private may finally be resolved. Conway ultimately argues precedent in the case of Clinton v. Jones would mean the subpoenaed tax documents aren’t related to Trump’s presidential duties and therefore not private. George Conway pens op-ed…
“They were just telling me inside, and it's fact, that I built the greatest economy in history”
“There has been so much unnecessary death in this country. It could have been stopped and it could have been stopped short, but somebody a long time ago, it seems, decided not to do it that way. And the whole world is suffering because of it.” The Spanish Inquisition is in charge of Infrastructure Week….
Mitch McConnell is actually proposing the most massive tax increases in U.S. history
In “Why Mitch McConnell’s State Bankruptcy Idea Is So Stupid,” Josh Barro makes a very important and elemental point about Mitch McConnell’s proposal to let states go bankrupt. Bankruptcy is only available to those who are insolvent – and no state is even close to insolvency because they have the power to tax. Right? A bankruptcy court cannot…
Behold! The worst-aging tweet in the history of tweets!

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 14, 2020 That tweet came following the market action on Friday, when the…
Talk to Grandma and Granddad for Real Black History
It was either three years prior to her birth, or when my great-grandmother (GG) was three years old, that the Wright Brothers flew for 12 seconds in a field just outside Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. My late great-granny was born at home in St. Mary’s County, Maryland, sometime between December of 1900, and November of…
AntiCapitalist MeetUp: Getting Trump out the WH – The End of History and splitting Whig-hats
If electoral victory is a mouse to be caught, the color of the cat deployed doesn’t really matter. Matthew 21:12 He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. Screw inevitability and electability, aphorisms and purity still rule the day in what is now a lively but anxious political season. Pete Buttigieg…
“History Will Not Be Kind.”
Winston Churchill once said, “history will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.” Now, Churchill was a pretty good (amateur) historian, and he did write a lot history (as well as making it), but history has nonetheless not been kind to him. I am pretty sure that Adam Schiff had Churchill in…
