There’s been a lot of moaning on this site lately about how Lincoln Project and other GOP groups ads against Trump are great but not very useful in persuading voters, since Trump’s base will never be swayed by them. These ads, they say, are really about getting into Trump’s head and banging around in there….

all those number 6's at the Villages, and Ghislaine made a Dead Pool
How good are the cameras at Rose M. Singer Center (Rikers for Women)? The goods: laundry, baggage, etc. and the tapes, oh so many tapes. Is the GOP “so far gone that even if Ghislane Maxwell implicates the President in child sex trafficking, they will find a way to excuse it, and his base won’t…
darn those “outside agitators”, tonight is MAGA Night, because “MAGA loves the black people.”
So much media framing, proliferating COVID-19 at an Ozark pool party sharing breath unlike the loss of breath days later for George Floyd. On the one hand peaceful protest, on the other vandalism as tourism. Two people have already died from Floyd-related violence. Now the framing is that no different than the attendance at a…
MA-Sen: Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D) Offers Help To Those With Mental Health Conditions Under Quarantine
Received this e-mail today from Rep. Joe Kennedy’s (D. MA-04) U.S. Senate campaign: Checking in and making sure you are doing well. We're now under a stay-at-home advisory in Massachusetts, so I've been spending my time at home with Lauren, Ellie, and James. While I make a lot of jokes about the chaos (we are…
DeSantis considering separating families from those who test positive or show symptoms in Florida.
Say what you will but this is much too late and waaaaaaay too wrong. Florida better get that notion out of their heads real quick and in a hurry. Quarantine people in homes is fine but don’t start that Ice like crap. We won’t have it. Take your #1 Resident and put him somewhere. …
For those who argued we can't afford a true safety-net now screaming shut it down
The screams and demands to shut everything down to stop CVID-19 can have a bitter echo to the young. Right now data suggests those under 50 and especially those under 30 are at little risk beyond a moderate case of the flu. The risk falls disproportionately on those 65 or older. The screams “We Must…
Some Republicans really can change. I know, because I was one of those Republicans
I’ve always thought of myself as a good person. And for the most part, I suppose, I am. I’ve done some bad things, of course. I’ve been ferociously drunk, loudly munched Corn Nuts during somber moments of silence, sung the unabridged 17-minute version of “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” off-key while baked out of my mind on Super Skunk,…
Fire and heat conditions in Australia 'may not be survivable' for those 'too late' to escape.
The firestorms continue unabated in smoldering Australia. If you are a praying person, now would be the time as extreme conditions threaten the lives of thousands of our brothers and sisters down under. From Huffington Post Australia, authorities warn that fire conditions may not be survivable as it is for many, too late to leave….
Trump regulations reversal sicken & kill those who made him president and more.
President Trump has reversed many regulations. We all know there were purposes for each of these regulations. Interestingly, the people hurt more are those who voted him into office. As an example, wealthy people don’t have to be concerned about the water in creeks surrounding coal waste. They can afford to build private streams in…
The Lincoln Project: darn those never-Trumpers
A cadre of neocon and conservative critics of Trump have decided to organize an effort to remove Trump in 2020. "This president’s actions are possible only with the craven acquiescence of congressional Republicans." – @gtconway3d, @SteveSchmidtSES, @jwgop & @TheRickWilson announcing the Lincoln Project.https://t.co/rlm1w3F6o6 — Minh Ngo (@minhtngo) December 17, 2019 "Over these next 11 months, our…
darn those 2020 election red/blue pills – Hacker simulation yields 32 possible deaths
Without panicking, the potential chaos of the 2016 election, regardless of result could repeat itself, noting Moscow Mitch’s complicity then and now in 2020 election security. This training event could be amusing except that William Barr’s recent speech to the Federalist society warned of impending “left” violence. The greater reality is RWNJ violence fomented by…
What's behind these attempts to normalize those who carried out America's concentration camps?
We all bore witness to the sheer horror of seeing families at the border ripped apart, and parentless children sleeping en masse on cold jail floors. Trump’s advocates literally argued detained children weren’t entitled to having much of anything in jail, including soap or toothbrushes. More than half of the taken children under the age…
Some of Those GOP SCIF-Crashers Could Have Gotten In Legally
Buzzfeed picked up a list compiled by Emptywheel that shows at least 12 of those Congressidjits who stormed into the SCIF this morning already had the right to be there: Ken Buck√* Paul Gosar√* Mark Green* Jody Hice√* Jim Jordan√* Fred Keller* Carol Miller* Ralph Norman* Mark Meadows√* Scott Perry√* Ron Wright* Lee Zeldin√* (Those…
Counter-impeachment: Where are all those pro-Democrat Ukrainians trying to meddle in US politics
The Trumpists are trying anything that will draw your attention away from the 25 July “favor” request for dirt in exchange for releasing arms. The greatest irony is Trumpian claims that they were combating corruption (by being corrupt). x Cuomo to Rudy Giuliani: “Did you ask the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden?” Rudy: “No, I…
Then we could end those Muslims before they walk in and killed us. Jerry Falwell Jr
Now someone repeat back to me that this is not a call to murder and bloodshed, that this rhetoric is not designed to incite people to violence but is only words. “If some of those people in that community center had had what I’ve got in my back pocket right now,” he continued before he…
