Someone wet-vac the McNugget sauce off Donald Trump’s adipose-cascading carcass and wake him up. GE has a message for him: Coal is over. You can stop lying about it now. The guy who once (in)famously said, “We've ended the war on beautiful, clean coal, and it's just been announced that a second, brand-new coal mine where they're…

Trump's FASCIST 'Law and Order' Rhetoric is Making Things Worse – for America and Trump: POLL
The reelection prospects for Donald Trump have been mired in an abyss of doom for months. Joe Biden is crushing him in every national poll as well as in most of the crucial swing states. And the post-convention polling has only gotten worse for Trump. That, of course, is not a reason to become complacent…

Author of upcoming tell-all reportedly taped Melania making 'harsh comments' about Ivanka and Donald
I’m swimming in so much schadenfreude today I may have to hire Jerry Falwell’s pool boy to clean up after me. There’s the Falwell news, the Eric Trump news, the RNC shitshow to come and now … holy shit, what fresh hell is this? Yahoo! News: Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania Trump's former friend and adviser, is set…
Protesters are making noise outside of postmaster general's home
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 that I doubt anyone would…
Trump and GOP are rapidly making the US into a failed state – can we pull ourselves out of the muck?
Trump’s in New Jersey for a golf weekend as the US continues to falter. There could be a Hail Mary. If Biden chooses @KamalaHarris, watch Trump dump Pence for Nikki Haley. Watch. — Matt Rogers 🎃 🗳 (@Politidope) August 6, 2020 If the United States isn’t a failed state in 2020, it is rapidly on…
Karen Bass and media mischief in horse-race parlay making
Don’t care as long as we win. Prefer Harris, Warren, and Duckworth to stay in the Senate. Rice would make a better “heartbeat away” than Demings or any of the others. Democrats can’t keep defaulting to “party elders” or the corporatists. x NEW: Joe Biden’s VP candidates ranked by pick likelihood 1- Kamala Harris2- Susan Rice3- Karen…
Trump Attacks America, making Portland like Minneapolis and DC
Trump's protection squads may deploy drones in Portland, as he aches for another Minneapolis or DC. Feds control airspace over Portland to minimize news coverage and facilitate drones, as street confrontations continue against a background of DHS attempts to make the suburbs scared of manufactured urban conflict. These actions, like the DC park-clearing photo-op, are a…
Isn't disarming Elmer Fudd like making a sex essentialist use the wrong toilet
I can’t breathe a long sigh when the two exemplars for bad firearms safety, Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam are revised like the cops in E.T. relegated to brandishing radios. Like Trump at St John’s church, some props don’t work. All that’s left is Porky Pig’s speech disability. “Animators working on the new series have ensured that…
GOP discredits 2020 scrutiny of Russian election intervention by making us relive 2016
We should not get fatigued since there are only 185 days left. The GOP will go Benghazi/Hunter Biden until the election, even as with the attempt to free Flynn. it will only reveal all those Russian connections dispersed among the GOP. The GOP senate subpoenas will be greater nuisances as the Fall approaches. Exactly https://t.co/G2QuwbJRSP…
Trump tries to bully GM and Ford into making ventilators 'FAST!!!!!!' — via Twitter, of course
He does realize he has the authority to order companies to do this kind of thing, right? Like, through regular government channels other than Twitter or semaphore flag? x General Motors MUST immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant, and START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD, GET GOING ON VENTILATORS,…

Rand Paul worries about making planet habitable — but not our planet, of course
Rand Paul isn’t too concerned about climate change on Planet Earth, but to his credit he does think we need to start creating livable ecosystems elsewhere. I guess he thinks humanity is on a cosmic pub crawl, and since we’re about to wear out our welcome here, we need to find new and better floating orbs…

Pelosi sends IMPOTUS invitation for State of the Union, making SOTU a ratings bonanza for whining
What an opportunity for Trump to declare a dictatorship during his impeachment trial in the Senate.

Video surfaces of Pete Buttigieg making racist remark about the racist Birther movement
It’s no secret that Pete Buttigieg has a white privilege problem. But, to paraphrase a certain former FBI director, Lordy, there is now a tape: x So Buttigieg made the racist birther joke more than once – as flagged by @ZerlinaMaxwell – “you can tell if I fill a pothole or not. It’s not like proving…
Making Mud Pies
Sort of lost in the President’s latest machinations, and wall bouncing, was the fact that Hillary Clinton was once again cleared of any charges of criminality on the issue of her infamous emails. To put this matter to rest—finally, I wish the State Department and the FBI would issue a joint press release that reads:…
Even more than impeachment, Democrats need to retake Congress's exclusive War-Making Power
President Trump and the U.S. Constitution (and established norms of governing) have been on a collision course since day one of the Trump presidency, but there is one looming, and overdue, Constitutional conflict that has not been discussed generally and which could serve, surprisingly, as a corrective outcome of the Trump presidency: Congress needs to reclaim its…
