• The More You Repress People, The Angrier They Become At You For Repressing Them

  Remember being a teenager? Remember how every time some lame adult told you NOT to do something, in a flash, the only thing you knew was “I HAVE TO DO THAT NOW!”? Donald Trump and the Republican Party have triggered America. That’s what 100 million early voters — 15% of them normally non-voters — says.…

• Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave When We’re A Corrupt Treason Turtle

  When the story of our times gets written — with the perspective of history — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will be infamous as one of America’s worst traitors ever. Moscow Mitch’s name will replace Benedict Arnold’s as the epithet Americans use to call other Americans “traitor”. Mitch still thinks he’s on a grand crusade…

• The Bill Of Rights Says Originalism Is BS

  The US Constitution — as originally written and ratified — did NOT include freedom of speech or the press or religion or assembly or any of the other specific rights enumerated in the Bill Of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Did you catch that word — “amendments”? The Constitution’s framers built the…

• Never Mind “Cutting To The Chase”, We Should Have Cut To The END Of The Donald Trump Chase

  Fact: Donald Trump is the most corrupt president ever in US History. If we think of presidencies as “story cycles”, the Donald Trump presidency has been the worst horror story imaginable because it’s scary but for all the wrong reasons. From the get-go, the Donald Trump story has been one of corruption and terrible behavior.…

• In A Fight Against Evil — Like Now — You HAVE TO Take A Side

  In a time as immoral as ours, moral choices matter. MSNBC is about to broadcast an interview with a “non-voter”. That’s a strange concept in an environment as morally clear as this one. Even if you don’t love Joe Biden, the other choice — Donald Trump — has taken the country to a moment of…

• Freedom Is Never “FREE” — It Always Comes With Responsibilities

  Pandemics bring clarity. This one has clarified that people who refuse to wear a mask because “We’re not the boss of them” have a five-year-old’s idea of “freedom”. They think freedom is getting to do whatever they want, wherever they want, however they want. If it bothers you or interferes with your rights — or…

• Dear Republicans: We The People Are Angrier At You Than You Realize

  It’s a line that sends chills through the spine of every married man who ever cheated: “I will NOT be ignored, Dan.” That’s what Glenn Close’s character in “Fatal Attraction”, Alex, says a few screen minutes before she boils a pet rabbit. She’s pissed and her feelings will have to be assuaged before the rage…

• The Best Thing One Can Say About Originalism Is That It’s Total, Utter Nonsense

  Antonin Scalia — the King of Originalism — should have taken originalism to the grave with him. Not that the worms deserve either. Intellectually, originalism is the quintessential make-it-up-as-you-go-along, “White Guy” argument. “But the rules! But the rules!” says the one who wrote the rules, then broke them repeatedly then got upset when others threatened…

• Mitch McConnell And The Republicans Are Hijacking The Judiciary Because They’re All About JUDGING Us…

  

  Mitch McConnell thinks America’s his “handmaiden”. When we get Moscow Mitch under oath, one thing we must ask the Treason Turtle is when exactly he signed onto the mission the RW money (the Kochs especially) assigned him: the hijacking of the federal judiciary. When specifically did Mitch agree to refuse President Obama (elected by clear…

• Russia Didn’t “Influence” 2016’s Outcome, Russia CHANGED It — And That Matters

  

  You’d think that a journalist, hearing from a reliable, informed source that Russia (a hostile foreign power) had “influenced” (or even tried to influence) an American election to favor Donald Trump (who’d laundered Russian mob money through his Atlantic City casinos), would ask the next obvious question: “Really? Russia actually INFLUENCED the outcome of our…
