I seriously can’t keep up with the crazy sometimes. Just as I’m done reeling from the latest Trump grotesquerie, another comes along. And another. It’s as if my dentist has gone from administering a little bit of nitrous to help me through a difficult teeth cleaning to sawing open my skull and spackling the folds of…

That prof who freaked us out in 2016 by predicting Trump would win now says Trump will lose
Remember back in 2016 when all signs pointed to a Hillary Clinton victory but this one a-hole professor felt like he personally wanted to keep me up at night staring at pictures of seasides and puppies and bunker rental rates? He said his “13 keys” system, which had predicted every election since 1984 (he predicted a…
Even if Biden were guaranteed victory, I would stand in line all damn day to vote
I stumbled across this online meme recently, and it sparked something deep within my black, bloodless knot of a heart. My immediate, visceral reaction? FUCK YEAH, I would. People talk about the supposed enthusiasm gap between Donald Trump’s and Joe Biden’s supporters. To some degree, they may have a point — because, well, Trump supporters…
AK-Sen: Dr. Al Gross (I) Makes The Case That The Public Option Would Attract Jobs To Alaska
One of the strongest arguments for including a public option to the Affordable Care Act would not only provide millions of Americans health care, it’s also a huge step from having to rely on your employer to provide health care.

would you sign this letter or would your signature depend on who else signed it
Here’s A Letter on Justice and Open Debate in Harpers July 7, 2020. The usual contingencies apply considering that some of the signatories have serious issues with one or more ideas represented by other signatories. For example one is currently being pilloried for calling gay conversion therapy the equivalent of hormone therapy for gender confirmation and…
“In the end, there would be no love for Donald at all, just his agonizing thirsting for it”
Mary Trump’s book while not a hagiography, helps explain Trump’s quashing any release of high school or college transcripts if Trump did hire someone to take his SATs. It may be the case that Trump is throwing a distraction that Bob Woodward is a “leaker” with a second book coming out in the Fall. On p. 72 of…
REALLY? Trump is Afraid that Electing Biden 'Would Lead To Disaster'
The United States of America is currently undergoing one of the most troubling and turbulent times in its short history.

'He would have been briefed instantaneously': WH veteran slams Trump's comical BountyGate denials
David Gergen, who you probably know as an analyst for CNN, also served as an adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. So he knows how a (functional, anyway) administration operates. And he’s calling extreeeeeeme bullshit on the Trump administration’s new claim that Donald Trump and Mike Pence were never briefed…
A new low in iconoclasm: why would you topple an abolitionist's statue unless you're a RWNJ
There was unrest in Madison Wisconsin and while we’ve gotten used to the idiocy often associated with the activity, pulling down statues seems like the kind of testosterone-fueled adventurism that won’t really advance causes. This seems especially ignorant when anti-racist monuments get torn down since there are still fewer of them. Heg became a rising…

Trump in Allentown: “if we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases”
Trump seems to have decided to stray even farther from message on COVID-19 and concentrate on all the diversions and distractions. He’s never really cared about tests and testing, he’s in complete denial about now 85,000 deaths, and will rely on disinformation even about the total number of COVID-19 cases. He even thinks “keyboard warriors”…
Live Blog – Trump on face coverings: “I would wear one if I thought it was important.”

Trump adviser: Trump 'took a gamble' that coronavirus would go away with warmer weather
So glad that Donald Trump decided to put all his chips on the table. Unfortunately, he was gambling with other people’s money — and lives. In a CNN story on Trump’s coronavirus-related decision-making (honestly, I’d feel better if we fed llama fart noises into Google Translate, printed the translations on bingo balls, and made government…
Joe Biden Warned Us Back In January That Trump Would Fail On Responding To The Coronavirus Outbreak
Just going to leave this here: President Trump, having stopped dismissing the threat of the coronavirus and calling criticism of his laggard response “their new hoax,” has begun insisting everybody was shocked. “It’s something that nobody expected,” he has said. Conservative pundits have picked up this revisionist history. “Armchair Quarterbacks Try to Rewrite History on…
In GOP Texas, would grandparents sacrifice themselves for their grandkids' economy
GOP eugenics and a Logan’s Run economy must guide COVID-19 policy, because Dan Patrick (not the sports guy, but the RWNJ homophobe) wants to put the Grans under. x so yea, sorry texas grandparents but the invisible hand demands a sacrifice— Andrew Lawrence (@ndrew_lawrence) March 24, 2020 Texas Republican urges Fox News viewers to risk their…
Nominating Joe Biden Would Be A Political Disaster With Consequences That Would Last For Decades
We’re at a crucial point, with the Coronavirus, with the economy collapsing and America’s political future hanging in the balance. At this time, Joe Biden seems poised to the Democratic nomination.

Hillary lets Trump know what a real president would have done about COVID-19

ME-Sen: The Hill, “Trump dismissed Collins (R) comment that he would learn from impeachment”
The stupid, it hurts: President Trump reportedly dismissed Republican Sen. Susan Collins's (Maine) suggestion that he had learned a lesson from impeachment just a day before his expected acquittal.
