Pat Robertson made a statement about what he thinks when it comes to Critical Race Theory and because of this he has trending. People are pointing out how the big fear Pat Robertson has about Critical Race Theory is that he might be told to not be a terrible person....
Normally it’s a given that the party that wins the White House will lose congressional seats in subsequent midterm elections. In 2010, Democrats got clobbered after Barack Obama’s historic 2008 victory. And a blue wave took hold in 2018, almost certainly in response to Donald Trump’s 2016 creepy-twins, blood-elevator Overlook Hotel red...
Remember when Trump said: “I know people that like the Confederate flag and they're not thinking about slavery”. Maybe we can finally get to that obstruction of justice because the former United States President tried to blackmail Ukraine into helping him cheat in our 2020 election. We’ll have more chances...
I grew up in Wisconsin, so I happen to know there are thousands of Ron Johnsons haunting various backwater dairyland redoubts, oafishly sounding out exotic menu items like “jalapeño poppers” at supper clubs, ordering one brandy Old-Fashioned after another, and dribbling chunky rivulets of tartar sauce down their chins onto musty,...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock’s (D. GA) re-election campaign: This is urgent: Republican lawmakers in Georgia just enacted one of the most restrictive voter suppression bills in the country – and with the Senate now back in session, I need your grassroots support to fight back immediately....
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen’s (D. MD) re-election campaign: Even as we work to pass historic legislation in the U.S. Senate where Republican control has prevented progress for so long, we need to stay laser-focused on GOP efforts to steal the next election by suppressing...
Many times during his reign, Trump could have saved his presidency by taking moderate positions and co-opting the Democrats. He felt, however that he should obey his benefactors like a beta, whether it was the evangelicals and Russia, or Steve Bannon, Paul Manafort, and Mike Flynn. Even in the pandemic,...
As you listen to this, remember that Southern slave owners used the Bible to defend slavery for generations. Also, NASCAR races are often held on Sundays. And Cracker Barrels are packed stem to stern on the Lord’s holy day. And the Creation Museum? Yup, open on Sundays. But Black people voting?...
Okay, it’s wrong to damage other people’s private property, even if displaying said property is basically a hate crime at this point. So I don’t condone this. Not one bit. That said, I may contact this museum to see if I can trade them for the Trump statue I’ve been...
In Thursday night’s Biden speech, it was simply good not to listen to the narcissistic blather which we have had to endure for four years. “I promise I will do everything in my power, I will not relent until we beat this virus, but I need you, the American people. I need...
The GQP senate is an honor-free zone with pro-wrestling byplay, save the magnificent seven dead. Mitch McConnell is doing his best to keep the reality-TV show kayfabe going. Lindsey Graham who proclaimed he’d “had enough” of Trump is now going to Florida on MAGA business. x Graham on Fox says he...
“These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do, one of these days these boots are gonna walk on orange goo.” Or something. Hey, I’m not Bernie Taupin. Or Hal David. Or even Weird Al, for that matter. Nancy Sinatra, the daughter of show business legend Frank...
Normal, decent people were outraged when Kyle Rittenhouse, the Kenosha killer charged with first-degree intentional homicide, was made into a right-wing celebrity. All of the videos we’ve seen of him are unpleasant, whether he’s shooting people, or punching a girl. Yet Tucker Carlson praised him. Failed actor Rick Schroeder put...
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said today that Trump and other leaders provoked the mob the attacked the US Capitol Building January 6 though he would not say if he will lead Senate Republicans in voting to convict Trump of impeachable offenses. “The mob was fed lies,” Mr. McConnell said, referring...
I never thought watching people move their shit out of a house could be so calming. It’s way better than whale song or crackling yule log footage. Get out, you odious fuck toads! Hit the bricks, pricks! Just slip out the back, Jack. Drop off the pee tape, Lee, and...
Further investigation coming as the reality emerges. The Capitol police officer was killed because he was beaten to death, not a heart attack as originally reported. Foreign money supported at least one figure involved in the 1/6 insurrection, suggesting that a 1/6 Commission be created. x The Jan 6 siege at...
Yesterday on Reliable Sources, CNN’s Brian Stelter interviewed his colleague Jake Tapper about the Trump years, which I kind of thought would end in spectacular fashion like a Hindenburg Hindenberder crash but are instead gradually pissing out like a leaky balloon at a children’s birthday party. And Tapper, who frequently interviewed Barbie Riefenstahl Kellyanne...
“When this campaign began, we said ‘not one acre.’ We meant it.” Patrick Donnelly, Center for Biological Diversity In early July of 2020, GOP Utah Congressional Representative Rob Bishop introduced an amendment to turn over 50 percent of the Desert National Wildlife Refuge's southern half.

When the DesMoines Register poll for Iowa done by Ann Seltzer, considered the Gold Standard not just for that state but among state pollsters, was released last night, Twitter went on fire. In 2016 Seltzer had released a late Iowa poll that showed Trump up by 9, a margin that...
Donald Trump’s closing argument for another term boils down to … COVID isn’t such a big deal after all and Joe Biden is super-corrupt. Of course, Trump has long since locked down the delusional asshole vote, but a new poll suggests he’s failed to make inroads among members of the sane community. To wit:...
Unhingery continues, as Trump lies about the wall, and over 150 times about the 2014 Veterans Choice Act. x The President claims people only say Mexico isn’t paying for the wall because it’s completed pic.twitter.com/ehPVxd4BEX— Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) October 24, 2020 x Not my Wall, which will soon be finished...
Another day, another unflattering tell-all from one of the people who knows Donald Trump best. There are some juicy excerpts here, but in case you’re short of time, the bottom line is this: Pretty much anyone who knows Trump, has worked with Trump, or has done business with Trump thinks...
What?!? In a candidate forum with the South Carolina Senate race contenders, Senator Lindsey Graham has said he did not believe there was systemic racism in his state, insisting young black people would be safe, “as long as they're conservative.” Graham made the comment during what was initially going to be another...
Black people get that question put to us a lot more often than you would think. It is generally followed by the statement, ‘well…I don’t see color’ or ‘things have changed’ accompanied by a raised eyebrow of incredulity. Unlike the police or people who believe in witchcraft, people of color...
http://www.villages-news.com/… This is just beyond brutal. I do not know how many were conservative but this is how it shaped up yesterday in central Florida. 2020 is beyond scary and God only knows what 2021 will bring with the Russian interference, a murderer in the WH and now RBG...

Trump is all about producing indeterminacy and uncertainty, probably because he doesn’t know very much, that stable genius. Not only about science or politics, Trump is all about chaos and confusion. Today he tried again to misinform voters and got sanctioned by Twitter. Because to Trump it’s always about public...
I’m going to have to start taking full-on Silkwood showers after reading the news. I have a feeling, in retrospect, the Trump era will feel a bit like stepping in dog shit. It will take a while to completely scrape his residue off our shoes, and even then our country...
Charles P. Pierce has a great piece in Esquire profiling U.S. Senate candidate, Jaime Harrison (D. SC), and his race against U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R. SC). It’s worth a full read but here’s a good snippet: The seat Harrison is running for was occupied for forty-eight years by Strom...
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...
And here I thought Republicans wouldn’t rediscover the debt until a Democrat was back in the White House. Looks like they’re ahead of schedule. After Senate Republicans let the House-passed HEROES act — which would have provided further stimulus for the economy and cash for our most vulnerable workers — languish on...
