What If Trump’s Presidency Was Illegitimate?
Remember that photo? Hard to forget, really. That’s the current leader of the Republican Party looking like Vladimir Putin’s bitch! But, really, it’s a photo of so much more. That’s a picture of corruption in the extreme. It’s the smoking gun that everyone saw and no one (except maybe a few keen-eyed observers) appreciated. It’s…

Donald Trump Is NOT Running For Re-election
Though Donald Trump formally declared his run for 2024 on November 15, 2022 in a speech to supporters at Mar-a-Lago, at no point has he ever actually been running for re-election. Oh, sure, he’s going through the familiar motions of campaigning. Our news media’s all lathered up. As much as covering politics baffles them, they…

“Elections Have Consequences” – STOLEN Ones Especially
Let’s put this on the table first: Donald Trump has projected every single one of his criminal acts onto others. Even back in 2016 – when everyone still refused to take Trump seriously – he was projecting a stolen election. He wasn’t making it up. He knew whereof he spoke. And the thing on his…

Karma Comes Calling For Mitch McConnell
You might have missed it. The shift was subtle. Karma’s come for Mitch McConnell. When President Biden signs the “Inflation Reduction Act” into law, the majority of Americans will have cause to celebrate. Republicans will, too. They just won’t admit it. The climate doesn’t care about anyone’s politics. The person who’ll celebrate least is Senate…

Conservatives & Ooga-Booga
The Supreme Court, finishing its annus horribilus at the top of its American Enterprise Institute coached form has just told the Biden Administration – America actually – that the EPA can’t tell power plants how much they can pollute our air. For the Supreme Court’s information, the air THEY breathe is no different from the…

False Equivalence Journalism & The Death Of American Democracy
On June 2, 2016, Eric Alterman wrote a piece for The Nation – “How False Equivalence Is Distorting The 2016 Election Coverage” – that he could just as well have written this morning about how America’s news media are covering Election 2022. Not only has nothing changed in the way our news media covers elections,…

Literal Pages Ripped From “The Conservative Playbook”
It’s not a coincidence that conservatives are far, far better at marching in lock step than liberals or progressives – or even independents. Across cultures, conservatism produces better goose-steppers than progressivism ever could even on progressivism’s very “best day”. It all comes down to the Playbook. Conservatives have one while progressives and independents don’t. That’s…

Putin Is Now As Crazy As Trump: Hmmmmm…
There are no coincidences. And, if we’d only listen to Maya Angelou’s exquisite wisdom – and believe people like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin when they tell us who they are – we’d save ourselves a ton of heartache. And who knows how much Ukrainian blood. And maybe even the world’s economy. Putin’s invasion –…

The Republican Party DOES Have A Platform In 2022: Treason
Back in 2020, our news media got all atwitter when the RNC – ever Donald Trump’s leather-clad, down-on-all-fours, red-rubber-ball-in-mouth bitch – announced it wouldn’t have a platform for the presidential election. Frankly, we should have appreciated the RNC’s unintentional honesty. The last time Team Trump imposed itself on the party’s platform, they tweaked it to…

The Bottom Line Explanation For EVERYTHING The Republicans Are Doing Is TREASON
It all starts with Russia. Take Russia out of the Donald Trump Equation and Trump never wins anything. In fact, take Russian mob money away from Trump and his Atlantic City casinos fail even faster. Take Miss Universe in Moscow away from Trump and he has zero avenues available to try and launch a Trump…
