WHUT? Trump Issues Threat to Reopen Schools That He Says Indoctrinate Students
No one is going to be surprised that Donald Trump says things that are patently absurd. His grasp of the facts on any subject is minimal at best and, more often than not, utterly fictional. And he has a difficult time displaying an ability to express thoughts with simple logic or any semblance of coherence….
Boogaloo: DHS warns increased threat of RW domestic terror
Wear a Hawai'ian shirt, go to jail…Tulsa did have in attendance the anti-government gun-toting version of Proud Boys called Boogaloo Bois. Fortunately they chickened out on a mission to foment conflict for a second Civil War. Fortunately, the fashion police and the National Guard were present in Tulsa, and monitoring the Boogaloos’ paramilitary cosplay activity. Doubtless future Trump rallies…
How will Trump's rallies be covered the second time – now that they are also a public health threat?
Trump is pressing to resume shortly his regular “rallies” — with thousands packed in an arena despite the Covid pandemic. This brings to mind the wide, post-mortem soul-searching among the press for giving so much uncritical, long broadcasts of Trump’s rallies in the 2016 election. As just one example in “My Shared Shame: The Media Helped…
Trump doubles down by repeating his shooting threat on 2nd Twitter account, Twitter responds in kind
How much will night four of George Floyd protests be more violent. One person died last night. Are you distracted from 102,000 deaths yet? 70 people were arrested in NYC protests. 44 meatpacking workers have died.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D. NY) Helps Joe Biden Take Out An Existential Threat To This Country
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D. NY) in support of former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: Donald Trump is a coward, a pathological liar, and an existential threat to this country. If you agree, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution of $25, $50, or more to Joe Biden’s…
'Unprecedented Threat' from climate change enhanced locust swarms plague, East Africa.
If you're asking when climate change is going to “happen,” you're really asking when's it going to happen to “me,” because it's already happened to many other people. Eric Roston Swarms of Desert Locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) have haunted parts of Russia, Spain, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and, SW Asia with loss of food…

POTUS* is a “continuing threat to Democracy” – the end of the Trump era begins
It has come to this, despite complaints that it’s all happening too fast while Trump refuses to follow the law. As Speaker Pelosi prays for Trump, so should we pray for the nation. Two presidents have been impeached by the House: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. No president has ever been convicted by the Senate,…
Did You Know That Elizabeth Warren Is a GREATER Threat To The Country Than Donald Trump?
That great Republican sage from Utah — Mitt Romney — gave an interview in which he basically said that conservative Republicans think that a President Elizabeth Warren would hurt the country more so than Donald Trump. I wanted to let that sink in for several moments. Republican Sen. Mitt Romney told Axios’ Mike Allen in an interview…
Oregon: (R) Senator-in-hiding Makes Death Threat, Gets Militia Support [Upd4: Militia disavowed?]
So, yeah, Oregon. Where there’s an increasing chance of an armed standoff between the government and… the government. First, a little background. As of the last election, the Democrats enjoy full control of the Oregon government, including a supermajority in both the House and Senate. But not, as we’ll see, a super-duper-majority. They’ve used their legislative…
