Instead of writing a long article about the definition of Evil Knievel Politics, I decided to make this more of a video series. Thanks YouTube. Marsha Blackburn exemplifies Evel Knievel Politics. Enjoy!!

It depresses me to acknowledge this, but the Republicans’ commitment to blatant and serial lying, and Orwellian “make believe” governing, pose a real threat by overwhelming the public debate and individual’s efforts to stay grounded. While a bit well-worn (and of uncertain provenance), this quote is fundamentally true: “A lie can travel halfway around...

In the wake of the firing of Fox News business host Trish Regan, who labeled the coronavirus an “impeachment scam,” it reminds me more every day of Republican hypocrisy.
