I used to occasionally argue with MAGAs before I realized I’d have better luck trying to convince Wile E. Coyote not to jump off the cliff in his Acme Batman Suit. He always jumps, and it always ends in disaster. I’ve never understood how you can spend more than a minute...

CBS News/YouGov conducted a poll this weekend, and there is some disturbing news: CBS News poll: Widespread agreement with Chauvin verdict Three in four Americans think the jury reached the right verdict in which former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder in the death of George Floyd,...
You know, I’m happy they were able to take Kyle Rittenhouse into custody after he allegedly shot and killed two people during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year. That’s the way these things are supposed to go. I just wish conservatives didn’t feel the need to turn him into a...
Sorry but having lived a long time is Pinko Commie Europe this morning I was gobsmacked by this piece of news. Mr. Willoughby is among scores of Texans who have reported skyrocketing electric bills as the price of keeping lights on and refrigerators humming shot upward. For customers whose electricity...
Let me clear from the start, I respect other peoples religions based purely on personnel faith and belief just as long as they don’t try and force them upon me or others. I’m not in favour of an imposed group think. Conspiracy theories and organized religion play upon the same...
Trying to pick the lowest point of Rudy Guiliani’s election hearing in Michigan is a challenge. There was the racist woman who said we need voter ID because “all Chinese look alike” (which, using her logic, would negate the need for an ID) There was Giuliani yelling at a Republican during...
Although I hate to admit it. My original postulation about how Trump would react to the election was seriously flawed. I originally hypothesized that Trump would pull out canine interference in the Vote, in other words: The dog ate my votes. How misjudged was that? I totally screwed the pooch...
Republicans have done a very good job of framing this next election as automatically going to the courts to potentially pick a winner. But normally the losing candidate only gets to ask for a recount. He or she does not have some freestanding right for a court to decide the election....
He golfs most of the time when he is not tweeting or on the phone like a 16 year old. He loves the cameras and mics. He loves the sound of his own voice. He spends a lot of time saying, “Mirror Mirror on the wall”. Who really believes that...
From Dean M. Harris at NC Policy Watch: In 2015, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina argued that we don’t need government rules for public health in the food service industry, because the free market would protect public health and safety. As an example, he said that the government...
Political Wire posted this article today (behind a paywall): The Dow Jones Indicator of American Politics. It’s based on a report from Charlie Cook — Right Direction/Wrong Track Numbers Tell the Story of the Election — and it shows Trump in deep trouble. Cook looked at the last 40 years...
So I’m sure you heard of this: Here’s Sen. Marco Rubio, in a since-deleted tweet, eulogizing the late John Lewis by confusing him with the late Elijah Cummings (whom Fox News confused with John Lewis back in October). x Wrong black guy pic.twitter.com/qYnWSuw177â Wesley (@WesleyLowery) July 18, 2020 He got it right...
Hiring TV talking head (er, ass) Larry Kudlow as an economic adviser, which Donald Trump (in)famously did, is kind of like hiring a pro bass fisherman to remove your appendix. Correction: It’s like hiring a bad pro bass fisherman to remove your appendix. With a pair of salad tongs and...
I can’t breathe a long sigh when the two exemplars for bad firearms safety, Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam are revised like the cops in E.T. relegated to brandishing radios. Like Trump at St John’s church, some props don’t work. All that’s left is Porky Pig’s speech disability. “Animators working on the...
On the one hand, this is a bizarre, inexplicable story. On the other hand, it is probably the most revealing story about the failure and obsequiousness of the White House press. In short, looking to fuel their fantasy propaganda that the Covid pandemic is over, White House aides at Trump’s Rose...
Paul Krugman is always a pleasure to read, in that he is so often right, and so often cuts to the heart of the matter. This morning’s column is particularly insightful: Trump and His Infallible Advisers Trump and company didn’t make a one-time mistake. They grossly minimized the pandemic and...
What. The. Fuck. Is. He. Saying? Trump begins his April 27 #TrumpPressConference with some reading difficulties pic.twitter.com/V1AnjAh9NK — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 27, 2020 TRUMP: “Dickinson, Bologic, and Cephi-Fef-Cepha-hi!” The only thing I can figure is he’s trying to summon Beelzebub for their daily Earl Grey and orphan-livers high tea. It...
Not to be confused with Leeroy Jenkins, and with much arm-waving Alan Dershowitz affirmed that the House has charged IMPOTUS* with impeachable offenses, despite declarations to the contrary. He also tried to apply a critique that trashes the recently revealed Bolton book in his speech to the Senate. x Dershowitz asserts...
What are you doing wrong when your multipurpose cleaner can’t wipe out capitalism? Took an hour to correct the tweet, but does show that the delusional Trump is willing to tweet any nonsense. He does, after all, give up his salary to drugs. https://twitter.com/MollyJongFast/status/1215290610736947201? https://twitter.com/TranslateRealDT/status/1215288524506849281?

Jesus Christ, this asshole. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1214739853025394693?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw I don’t know about you, but reassurances from the guy who lies as much as he breathes are not apt to soothe me. I don’t know. Call me crazy. The tone of Trump’s tweet sounds a bit like a guy whose grandma just caught him...
http://www.cnbc.com/… A just released NBC/WSJ poll says Americans split evenly 48% to 48% on the removal of Donald Trump from office. While this is a slight improvement for Trump, there is recognition that the President has acted improperly. Just 25% say Trump did nothing wrong on Ukraine. And though only 10%...

President Obama recently in a room of wealthy Liberal donors called out Progressives for wanting transformational change. He implied it was unrealistic. Thus far, Obama had stayed out of the Democratic Primary Process. He should consider continuing said refrain as coming out as an anti-progressive will activate many progressives, who...
Today, Sean Spicer declared that Assad was worse than Hitler, because the latter “didn't even sink to using chemical weapons”. That’s wrong for one really big, really obvious reason: the Holocaust. But even if we give Spicer a little more benefit than he deserves, and assume that he meant only...
