Returning to normal shouldn’t mean returning to gridlock. Guys, I think Joe Manchin just "cancelled" Neera Tanden, and the right-wing is fine with it. Isn't that supporting cancel culture? Someone please let me know. — Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) February 19, 2021 The West Virginia senator announced on Friday that he...
You may know Lindsey Graham as one of Donald Trump’s favorite — and most expendable — colon polyps. But there was a time he pretended to be a senator … with his own opinions and everything. When he ran against Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination, he was among the...
I heard Steve Bannon spent tons of accused fraudently money on cosmetic surgery, jewels and other things.  The only person better at conning would be any doctor who talked him into having such a procedure. After further looking into the matter, it seems the vet in the scheme handed  loot over to...
Allow me a moment of personal reflection as we watch the country once again get torn apart over race. I’m not Black; I’m Jewish. (There are very very few Black Jews.) I grew up on the history of 2000 years of persecution. I study the history of religion and I’ve...

Trump hasn’t yet reached his personal Vietnam death toll numbers, because bone spurs. The GOP will parse his numbers because somehow Democrats are to blame, what with all the stress of impeachment and all those conspiracy theories. This assumes that we believe all that disinforming gaslight and malarkey incessantly repeated...

Today is Sunday, which means tomorrow I report for pre-operative stuff at the hospital for the forthcoming operation on Wednesday to address the stenosis (blockage) in my left carotid artery that caused my recent stroke.  While I have no intimations of forthcoming disaster, I will be undergoing general anesthesia, so...
So remember those two Rudy Giuliani associates who were arrested on campaign finance charges 11 days ago? Donald Trump, of course, had no idea who there were, but acknowledged he might show up in some photos with them: Asked about two men with ties to Rudy Giuliani arrested earlier today,...
Trump still did it. x The corruption associated with @realDonaldTrump is unprecedented in our nation's history. https://t.co/FZfazCMENUâ” Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) October 7, 2019 It’s perfectly clear now that Rudy was also motivated by the grifting possibilities of Ukraine but this doesn’t change Trump’s actual impeachable acts. There will be so many...
