SC, MS & GA-Sen B: Former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D. CA) Helps Send More Black Leaders To The Senate
Received this e-mail this from former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D. CA) in support of Jaime Harrison (D. SC), Mike Espy (D. MS) and Rev. Raphael Warnock’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaigns: x In 1992, I was one of four women elected to the US Senate, tripling the number of women Senators. Now I've launched…
Eight World Leaders Take a Swipe at Trump [Update: Putin Out to Steal Vaccine Research]
Not in so many words, but eight world leaders wrote an op-ed in today’s Washington Post calling for any Covid-19 vaccine to be available worldwide: The international community must guarantee equal global access to a covid-19 vaccine [W]e must urgently ensure that vaccines will be distributed according to a set of transparent, equitable and scientifically…
In searing obituary, woman blames our feckless leaders for her father's COVID-related death
Ask Donald Trump and his loyal enablers about his coronavirus response and they’ll tell you how fantastic it’s been. It’s a bizarre stance, and basically the equivalent of BP taking out ads in Mississippi reminding local residents about all the free oil the company gave to the needy. But the majority of Americans — i.e.,…
CNN sources: Trump's calls with women foreign leaders have been 'near-sadistic'
There’s so much unhingery packed into this CNN story on Trump’s phone calls with foreign leaders that choosing among the outrages is kind of like picking your favorite Egyptian plague. Want a shower of frogs? Fire ‘n’ hailstones? Locusts? They’re all here, and then some. So let’s start with this gem, which comes courtesy of…
MS, SC & GA-Sen B: Sen. Patty Murray (D. WA) Helps More Black Leaders Get Elected To The Senate
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D. WA) in support of Mike Espy (D. MS), Jaime Harrison (D. SC) and Rev. Raphael Warnock’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaigns: There have only been ten Black Senators in the entire history of the U.S. Senate. Today, there are three — Democrats Cory Booker and…
Vichy GOP collaboration: why have Republican leaders abandoned their principles for #BunkerBoy
It’s worth reading Anne Applebaum’s Atlantic article “History Will Judge the Complicit”, or does the GOP wish to reveal the truth of conservative principles as oxymoron. “The question now is whether the old American mantras, the appeals to traditions of democracy and the rule of law, still work—or whether they have now become just another competing…
Is Trump Trying to Kill the G-7 Leaders?
Each year, the G-7 summit is hosted by one of the member countries in rotation. In 2020, it’s the turn of the United States. Trump had always planned to use the summit to boost his re-election chances (and boost his income by hosting it at his Doral property in Florida, until that plan got shot…
an anti-innocence project: collect world leaders' DNA for auction
Stunt for stunt. In the age of Trump the price of revealing the origin of DNA could be set at $130,000 an event. If you had Donald Trump’s DNA, what would you do with it? The idea isn’t as outlandish as it may seem: An anonymous organization called the Earnest Project is offering the chance to own…
Military leaders requested new force to fight cyberwar, but got Space Force instead
Right now, Texas is under siege, and there’s not too much our military can do about it. On Jan. 7, Gov. Greg Abbott told the Domestic Terrorism Task Force that the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) measured, over a 48-hour period, a colossal increase of cyberattacks from Iran on their state agencies “at a…
Kellyanne Conway: Laughing world leaders were actually 'jealous' of Trump
I would have to search long and hard to find something about Donald Trump that I’m jealous of. Sure, he’s pr*sident of the United States, but frankly I’d rather work at Arby’s than have that job. In the past I would have justified that by saying working at Arby’s requires a lot less effort — but, hey, apparently…
Biden releases scorching campaign video of world leaders laughing at Trump
This is delicious. And, for the record, there’s no malarkey in it: x The world is laughing at President Trump. They see him for what he really is: dangerously incompetent and incapable of world leadership. We cannot give him four more years as commander in chief. pic.twitter.com/IR8K2k54YQ— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) December 5, 2019 < p…
The proper question: Do you believe that the Confederate leaders were as bad or worse than the KKK?
I watched Flimflam Man Paul Ryan’s CNN town hall last night, and realized that at this late date we still can’t honestly question, and thus confront, Republican leaders on the root problem of Charlottesville and Trump. Instead, all we get is moronic, weak tea like Paul Ryan and other Republicans condemning White Supremacists or the neo-Nazis….
