The New York Times has a great piece out about the upcoming Republican National Convention in Charlotte and the state GOP’s history gerrymandering North Carolina to push their radical right-wing agenda. The RNC was supposed to be a big event for them but it really just draws attention on how much damaged they’ve done to…

Republicans just love saying the quiet part out loud
You might think the really crazy tweet in this thread is the first one — in which an Alabama representative says his state is great because no one bows and scrapes before our ocher overlord as consistently and abjectly as his fellow ’Bamans. But you’d be wrong. Second tweet, if you please. x The RNC is…
“57 percent of Republicans think 176,000 coronavirus deaths (and counting) is acceptable”
Trump as usual tried another bait and switch claiming another therapeutic emergency authorization was a “cure” for COVID. The announcement was designed to get amplified during the RNC. They’re counting that there’s enough people who will want to play the odds, free-riding off others wearing masks. x 57 percent of Republicans think 176,000 coronavirus deaths (and…
New poll proves Republicans live in a fantasy world where our number of COVID deaths is 'acceptable'
These are gobsmacking, jaw-dropping numbers, and they tend to make me think Jim Jones and David Koresh were underachievers. Wow. I mean, WOW. These people are kookaburra cray-cray devotees of Cocoa Puffs. CBS News: Republicans see an America — to borrow Ronald Reagan’s famous test — better off today than it was four years ago, mainly, they say,…
Republicans will be aggressively harassing voters at the polls. They call it ‘ballot security’
By now, it’s painfully obvious that Donald Trump and the Republicans are blatantly sabotaging the U.S. Postal Service in order to deliberately delay mail-in ballots for this upcoming election, despite an ongoing pandemic. Trump even admitted to it. His administration is literally collecting mailboxes. But they also have plans for those who want to vote in-person as well….
Another betrayal: Republicans sabotage COVID talks so Trump can sign meaningless executive order
The Senate has adjourned for the weekend, after refusing to negotiate with Democrats for a desperately-needed COVID-19 relief bill. Democrats had compromised, agreeing to come down yet again to $2 trillion spent to help the country through the worst health and economic crisis in our nation's history. It’s just too expensive, Republicans say. For context, the GOP Tax Scam—a 2017 giveaway to the…
Republicans Let Slip How They Think Justice Works
One of the many stories circulating today about New York Attorney General Letitia James’s announcement of the state lawsuit against the NRA is this one: Donald Trump is losing the culture wars. The peculiar part that caught my eye starts with the subtitle: The Democratic attempt to crush the NRA is unlikely to do much…
In three quotes, Republicans admit the 'great party switch'
Republicans and their amen corner in the right-wing media are trying to perpetuate yet another hoax on the American people. In a nutshell, they claim that history ended in 1865 or, at the latest, 1965. But sadly for them, three of their leading lights past and present—Cindy Hyde-Smith, Trent Lott and Strom Thurmond–already gave the…
Will Republicans boycott election if Trump does not get to delay it?
This may not be as crazy as it sounds. Republicans are boycotting mask wearing because of Trump. They are taking hydroxichloroquine because Trump told them to. If they think the elections are unfair they just may decided to own the libs by boycotting the election. They might proudly walk around town with a buttons that…

Did Nancy Pelosi call out Republicans in graphic form as a band of thieves?
Nancy Pelosi did not mince her words as she called out an intransigent and heartless Republican Party that is leaving Americans stranded. Notice how she tied it into her religion which abstracted her statement given that while she meant it, it was the statement of a saint. This is why Nancy Pelosi is Speaker x…

Vanity Fair: Republicans To Cut Loose Trump By Labor Day? Don't You Believe It!
I think highly of Vanity Fair’s Gabe Sherman, but his latest piece with the information that Moscow MItch is giving Trump until Labor Day to turn things around or he is on his own is complete and utter bullshit. Nervous Republicans worried about losing the Senate are now debating when to break from Trump. Trump…
Trump 'furious' at Kushner over polling; Republicans giving Trump till Labor Day to right the ship
The redoubtable Gabriel Sherman has a new dispatch from the Land of Make-Believe (née the White House). Seems the current occupant, Donald John Trump, is feeling a bit like a gimpy gazelle flushed into one of Marlin Perkins’ nets. (According to Sherman, Trump, sensing electoral Armageddon, recently called Fox News’ Tucker Carlson to ask, “What do…
A Cautionary Note On The Latest Effort By Trump And The Republicans To Judicially Overturn The ACA
As most surely know, Trump and the Republicans have filed their initial brief before the Supreme Court seeking to overturn the entire ACA, arguing that the elimination of any tax penalty to enforce the individual mandate renders the original constitutional justification (Congress’s taxing authority) a nullity and that — under something called the “severability doctrine” — the entire…

Florida Republicans still encourage LGBTQ hatred four years after Pulse
A few blocks from my home is the site of the Pulse massacre. We just passed the 4-year anniversary. In the six months that led up to the massacre, Florida Republicans had introduced more than 200 bills attacking freedoms of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender communities. But it’s okay: my right-wing friends tell me everything's all…
Sen. Perdue Tells Republicans Georgia Is “In Play”
Republican Senator David Perdue told a group of Republicans that his state of Georgia is up for grabs in this fall’s election.
