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 since the Civil Rights Acts…

Watergate prosecutor says 'no question' Donald and Ivanka could be jailed for tax fraud
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 know. That said, it could…

Here's what Donald Trump considers a 'much more difficult' question
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? Turns out that one of the questions requires the interviewee to know what an elephant looks like. Not exactly string theory. But during the Wallace interview, Trump…

Reporter finally asks Trump the question we've been wondering about for years
Like clockwork, Donald Trump has determined that John Bolton is a wacko. That’s what happens when you challenge Kaiser Cray-Cray. You get a dose of whatever medicine he snorted this morning. x ….He didn’t want Bolton anywhere near him. Bolton’s dumbest of all statements set us back very badly with North Korea, even now. I…
New Idea for the Lincoln Project: Question Bunker Baby's Manhood
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 masculinity.” Very positive message that’ll…
Trump asks the pressing health care question on everyone's mind
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 Trump: "I don't use insulin….
Senator Sanders’ question highlights the obscene nature of our healthcare system

Trump, Iran, and Christians United For Israel: A Question
I want to get some feedback on a topic I’m researching for my book on religion: the degree to which some Christian fundamentalists may be actively working to trigger the apocalypse. I’m not going to get into the weeds here (keep your sighs of relief to yourselves, thank you!), but, in brief: In 2006, Pastor…
no Des Moines Register / Selzer Poll results because of a “bad question” excluding Buttigieg's name
2020 cannot be an electability choice, 2020 remains a referendum on Trump. Remind yourself that “winning” Iowa still means proportional delegate allocation. “The Des Moines Register did not include Pete #Buttigieg’s name in at least one of their telephone calls for their poll this week and it’s unclear if the newspaper will still release their…
Democrats and/or reporters need to repeat this one simple question to Republicans
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? That is it. We don’t need anything more complicated than that one question…
An open question for even undergraduate level economists
I’m not an economist, and didn’t even major in it in college. So I have an honest question for those with some more expertise than me. Background: I just read a very typical article that said that economists conclude that the employer side of the Social Security tax is simply “passed on“ to their employees…
Answer to a voting question from moderate who feels more aligned with progressives
Donald Trump has instigated a level of discussion of the upcoming presidential election that used to be relegated to just political junkies. People are starting to feel the existential nature of their vote in 2020. Progressives must capitalize on this reality. A few days ago I got a very long text message from a dear friend….
If you had a question to ask Trump…What would it be? Inquiring minds want to know.
I am curious. I thought about this a lot. I am talking serious questions….Not that I would get the truth or a real answer but I would love to look him the eye and ask him…” Why are you so miserable and do you feel you were raised in a loving home”? If nothing else,…

MSNBC Pundit Zerlina Maxwell admonishes the Democratic Party and the corporate mainstream media for positing the wrong question about who will bring victory to the party.

Economist validates Elizabeth Warren’s Medicare for All tax-question answer.
For too long the mainstream media has been given a pass for being the patsy of the plutocracy. Many times they ask loaded questions with an intent to mislead and in doing so placate their masters, the pharmaceutical industrial complex, the healthcare industrial complex, the energy industrial complex, and every other monopolistic consortium in between. It…
