The past two days of Senate committee hearings about the Capitol riot have revealed that the GOP is openly excusing racists. From the unctuous Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) adopting the smug role of victim, Republicans are all but standing on their desk and yelling, but what...

I recognize the futility of all of this given the corruption of the Republicans.  But for history and anyone paying attention, I would have liked to see this question: From the perspective of the former president’s defense, his conduct and statements before and through January 6, at minimum, raise serious...

This is a view from abroad as I have been an expat since the middle of the second term of W.J. Clinton. I am not a Democrat, I am middle of the road European Left and Bernie still makes sense to me. The Republicans have been sprinting to the right...

I’ll just get this out of the way at the outset. I doubt that Donald Trump will ever go to prison. It’s just too hard to imagine a former U.S. president breaking rocks — or whatever the equivalent for a bone spur-riddled silver spoon might be. Crocheting doilies, maybe? I don’t...

Okay, so y’all saw the clip from the Chris Wallace interview where Wallace barely contains his amusement over Trump’s bragging about the mental acuity test he took, right?

Like clockwork, Donald Trump has determined that John Bolton is a wacko. That’s what happens when you challenge Kaiser Cray-Cray.

Two op-eds in the New York Times caught my attention this morning. First up is Gail Collins — Trump’s Magic Word — because of what she wrote at the end: This could be a great protest theme. Fill the street with banners saying, “Mr. President, we’re not really questioning your...

You know the old adage: A shot of insulin, Clorox bleach, hydroxychloroquine, and a sunlamp up the asshole keep the doctor away.  Today, in the middle of some scripted lies about Obamacare and Trump’s own “health” care policies, the tweaking interdimensional fart gremlin inside the pr*sident’s head suddenly decided to chime in:  President...

2020 cannot be an electability choice, 2020 remains a referendum on Trump.

To all those Republican Senators stating that they won’t consider any new documents or witness testimony, simply ask: So, if we learn of new evidence that exonerates President Trump, you will fight and vote to make sure that the Senate can’t consider such evidence?

For too long the mainstream media has been given a pass for being the patsy of the plutocracy.

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...

The weirdest, dumbest and most negligent thing among the press today is to ask and re-ask whether Trump believes in climate change science . . . . and, worse, characterize it as an on-going “secret.”  As just some examples, see “Does Donald Trump Still Think Climate Change Is a Hoax?...
