We now return you to the continuing Big Lie and the punchable face of the GQP. “By deposing @Liz_Cheney they’ve only given her a bigger platform.” And they were so cowardly as to remove her by a voice vote. Republicans in the US House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to remove...

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr. (D. PA) in support of U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock’s (D. GA) re-election campaign: Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. (D. PA) Millions of people are paying overdue bills, buying medicine, paying their rent, and feeding their families right now thanks to the...
So much thick-headed media activity this past week. OTOH Chuck Todd panders to the center again, or perhaps it's the college drop-out demographic. x A @MeetThePress fail today: talking about anti-Asian violence and racism – without any Asians on the panel. I can’t imagine MTP having a discussion about anti-Black...
As with emissions controls, California leads the nation. This is another BFD, just like federal fleets, etc. And can’t come soon enough, if only to eliminate the continuing snafu of gig workers in Uber/Lyft. Gonna need an infrastructure year rather than a week, because that is more important than more vehicles....
LOL ”acting AG Rudy Giuliani” because Trump could fire AG Bill Barr. x Three weeks ago I told @thenation readers not to be freaked out about Barr’s “investigation” of voter fraud and, well I’m *thrilled* that held up. 🙂https://t.co/8UyMdaC1vq— Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) December 1, 2020 Attorney General Bill Barr arrived...
x Biden: “We both know tensions are high. They can be high after a tough election…But remember, we have to remain calm, patient. Let the process work out as we count all the votes…your vote will be counted. I do not care how hard people try to stop it. I...
It’s common courtesy, not to mention common sense, to ask someone’s permission before using them in an advertisement. The Trump campaign has no interest in courtesy, sense, or for that matter the law. They put out an ad which took Dr. Fauci totally out of context to make it appear...
GOTV and get a Biden landslide. x The Coming Biden Landslide https://t.co/DB0UYBnxoU pic.twitter.com/ePYMFI9YNi — #TheResistance | Vote Early And Use A Ballot Box (@SocialPowerOne1) September 13, 2020 With a few notable exceptions, like my estimable colleague Jonathan V. Last, it seems that nobody wants to predict the November 3 election—not the...
Chris Wallace found the Trump speech “flat”. But didn’t you know that Trump was a “saintly feminist”? The GOP would have you believe that “my African-American” thanks that unlike Bill Clinton, Trump is the first Black POTUS. Woe are the suburbs and Trump is better than Biden, only because Biden is...
As Election Day approaches, more articles warning of Trumpian chaos need exposure to blunt whatever pseudo-strongman shenanigans might emerge facilitated by 50,000 GOP “poll watchers”, among others. The Tom Rogers and Tim Wirth op-ed below while schematic, does warn that bureaucratic methods and disinformation will guide the attempt by Trump...
Started at 547pm ET Apparently like the Germans and Pearl Harbor, for Trump, the second World War ended in 1917. x YouTube Video Trump starts with more disinformation using a Virginia example Trump pimps stock market — usual blah-blah…. (550pm) whoa, something happened and Trump abruptly leaves after a secret service agent...
Cartoon characters without pants might have to drop drawers as SCOTUS finally rules on Trump’s financial records today. There will be an over/under and perhaps even a split difference, but regardless there will be strong, powerful, or even strongly or powerfully Trump distractions. Bigly matters will at least be referenced...
I still think there’s about a 10 percent chance that I crashed my bicycle into a falafel stand in 2015, died of my injuries, went to hell, and this has been my reality ever since. Come to think of it, maybe the chance is actually closer to 80 percent, because...
For years I have heard academia and the “culture class” say that sports are a waste of time and resources in America. Instead of building schools, we build billion-dollar stadiums, so the argument goes. The pointed question that usually follows is, why is it that a guy who dribbles a basketball...
Just posted on Politico: DOJ seeks new emergency powers amid coronavirus pandemic The Justice Department has quietly asked Congress for the ability to ask chief judges to detain people indefinitely without trial during emergencies — part of a push for new powers that comes as the coronavirus spreads through the...
On Wisconsin. Considering all that we already know about Trumpism, his attempts to warp the election will occur until the last vote is counted. Sabotage like unfaithful electors or worse could actually hijack the presidency. Suppression becomes repression, whether by virus or vote. Experts around the country have been churning out model...
Trump spoke before the daily briefing of the COVID task force presser.at 630pm ET. More time was spent changing the podium seal from the VPOTUS to that of IMPOTUS* than Trump’s remarks. Trump announces payroll tax cut to be discussed with GOP leadership. Trump lies about being the first to shut borders....
I was six years old when these words were the words people discussed when discussing politics at the table at my grandparents. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/… “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within….” I ran across this article...
Does Bill Barr have to sound like a mobster every time he talks? This is a nice community you have. It would be a shame if someone wrecked it. The Washington Post: “Today, the American people have to focus on something else, which is the sacrifice and the service that...
