From Salon: The American Democracy Legal Fund (ADLF) sent a letter Wednesday to the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee asking to open an investigation into allegations that Sen. Susan Collins of Maine — a Republican who faces a tight re-election battle this fall — used her office to financially benefit her husband and, subsequently, herself. The…

Woodward book: Trump privately admitted COVID was worse than flu even as he downplayed it
Trump is already a drowning otter trapped in a k-hole, and now this. According to Bob Woodward’s new book, Rage, Trump knew all along just how deadly and dangerous the coronavirus was, even as he continually downplayed the emerging health crisis. The Washington Post: “You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed,” Trump…
Trump's FASCIST 'Law and Order' Rhetoric is Making Things Worse – for America and Trump: POLL
The reelection prospects for Donald Trump have been mired in an abyss of doom for months. Joe Biden is crushing him in every national poll as well as in most of the crucial swing states. And the post-convention polling has only gotten worse for Trump. That, of course, is not a reason to become complacent…
Want to know how sad this is? Worse than I thought. Trump followers show 5 traits.
I was reading another diary and I looked up something that caught my eye. How sad it is that the people have become this mentally unstable. People who have been raised at the same table, shared the same holidays, worked along beside each other and many raised by the same parents or raised their children…
“Worse before it gets better” Trump does another presser, can't control his ad libs
Trump shows up late again and repeats the same spin, not acknowledging the lead in deaths. The real headlines will come from more Trump mistakes, like well-wishing Ghislaine Maxwell and mentioning Prince Andrew, as well as continuing the same campaign speech lies. x Also, without watching this presser, I've deduced that Trump's aides finally got…
Mary Trump says Ivanka is worse than useless: 'She doesn’t do anything'
Sun on the patio, a bit of weed, some Daiya vegan cheesecake, and a pinch of piquant Ivanka schadenfreude. It appears that Donald Trump isn’t the only Trump Ms. Mary Trump is less than impressed with. Ivanka, it appears, has been found wanting beneath the gimlet-eyed gaze of the One and Only Smart Trump. In a…
ME-Sen: Collins' (R) Brett Kavanaugh Problem Just Got A Whole Lot Worse For Her Re-Election Bid
From The Washington Post: x Judge Kavanaugh voted against banning companies from firing employees for being gay or transgender. It's clear that Senator Collins will continue to be a reliable vote for Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ nominees. Help us replace her in November: https://t.co/EH8PTmgUbE— Sara Gideon (@SaraGideon) June 15, 2020 Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is coming under…
Trump claims he's being treated worse than Lincoln (because he's still living?)
Same poop different day, except with a large prop. “Look, I am greeted with a hostile press, the likes of which no president has ever seen,” said Trump. “The closest will be that gentleman up there,” gesturing to the statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial. “They always say nobody got treated worse than Lincoln….
Trump Polling Worse on Pandemic Than All 50 Governors
A survey of nearly 23,000 Americans across every state shows Donald Trump’s response to the pandemic gets a lower rating than every governor in their own state. While this is not too surprising considering none of the governors (to my knowledge) has mused about people being injected with cleaning fluids, it is interesting to see how…
New study suggests Hannity's coronavirus coverage made the pandemic worse
Sean Hannity will try to tell you that he took the coronavirus oh-so seriously all along. He recently said he never thought the mounting concern about the novel coronavirus was a hoax. And you know he’s serious by how many veins are visible in his neck and forehead when he proclaims these things. Six veins?…
Trump on Fauci: ‘He doesn’t not disagree with me’ …nothing worse than last-minute ideologies
Trump posted this before he went to bed this morning. Probably angry about the threat of wind turbine cancer. x This will never be approved by me, or any other Republican! https://t.co/jWcGaS2QZC— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 24, 2020 Considering there’s a # #MoscowMitchSlushFund and opaque accountability for where the $500 billion goes, it’s a very…
Trump's Oval Office address was even worse than you thought
He went out of his way to say the novel coronavirus originated in China and that it was “foreign” (xenophobic much?), and he looked like Mayor Quimby debating Sideshow Bob — but that wasn’t even the worst of it. x x YouTube Video During last night’s Oval Office address, Donald Trump — despite reading from…
Trump says “No Cooties, please, we're British” as COVID-19 will get “worse and worse and worse”
Throne room cootie report has Trump restricting European travel to US, except for the UK meaning that the Brits will be a meatshield for air travel transfers from the Continent. Folks from Korea can still come to the US. And there are commerce exceptions to/from Asia and elsewhere. Meanwhile, the NBA is suspending game play, because a…
Former Ohio State wrestler: 'It's just going to get worse' for Jim Jordan
Former Ohio State wrestler Adam DiSabato made headlines this week when he claimed, during a public hearing, that Republican Rep. Jim Jordan asked him not to assert that sexual abuse allegations were well known within the university’s wrestling program and were ignored by Jordan and other coaches. “Jim Jordan called me crying, groveling, begging me to go…
Rush Limbaugh seems to think being gay is worse than being a disgusting racist and misogynist
So the latest winner of the once-prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom saw a Pete Buttigieg ad about struggling to explain Donald Trump to one’s children. (For the record, it’s super easy if you’re willing to use the words “shit-slurping,” “twatwaffle,” and “fuckstick” in front of a 3-year-old; good luck otherwise.) Long story short, he thinks…
Mike Bloomberg secret racist tape worse than you think.
While many are shocked by racist words coming out of Mike Bloomberg. I find it rather amusing. Patriarchs and Oligarchs of his ilk share the same prejudices and ignorance. An uninformed Mike Bloomberg likely still believes this. x x YouTube Video So what did this bastion of virtue say? 95% of your murders — murderers and…
Trump's Is an Incompetent Crook – and That Makes it Worse
The mess we’re in didn’t start with IMPOTUS. The GOP and the 1% have been working for years to turn our democracy into an oligarchy where the rule of law is at best a platitude that they pay lip service to. Their plan has always been to keep the Republican party in power and keep…
Krugman: GOP Worse than Scrooge
A couple of weeks ago, I had a diary up here: We're Being Ruled by Sadists. Now, I can’t claim that Paul Krugman reads my diaries, much less is inspired by them, but he said pretty much the same thing in his column this morning: The Cruelty of a Trump Christmas: It’s common, especially around…
GOP rep: Dems are worse than Pontius Pilate, and Trump is like Jesus
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) during today’s impeachment hearing: x “…When Jesus was falsely accused of Treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus, than Democrats have afforded this president in this process.†#ShamImpeachment pic.twitter.com/n8FZRe64eo— Barry Loudermilk (@RepLoudermilk) December 18, 2019 <…
Just when you thought things could not get any worse in Australia, Sydney might run out of water.
The largest city in Australia, Sydney, is set to run out of water by 2022 warned a CNN affiliate which was confirmed by the Water Minister of New South Wales (NSW), Melinda Pavey. It is only Spring in NSW and already the region suffers from a crippling, according to CNN, drought and ferocious bushfires that…
