• Twitter And The Digital Diaspora

  It started with dribs and drabs – like many diasporas. A few weeks ago, a few concerned souls – their feet still in Twitter – began exploring other options: Counter Social… Tribel… Mastodon. When Elon fired half of Twitter’s employees – Elon’s version of Kristallnacht – that caused the first real “gush” of Twitter refugees. […]

• Where Do Republicans Go From Here? Nowhere

  The GOP knew from the jump that Trump was Putin’s chump.

• Trump’s Power Over The GOP Isn’t Cultural, It’s CRIMINAL

  To this very day, our news media doesn’t understand Donald Trump or his power over the GOP. Though the press itself has reported the “why” many times, they don’t seem to consume their own news product. Or, if they do consume it, they don’t believe it. They certainly don’t make it part of the ongoing […]

• The GOP’s Nightmare Has Only Just Begun

  Yesterday was a huge win for Democrats. It was, aside from Florida and a few districts in New York, an electoral nightmare. Sure, sure – in the morning after, America stands in a seeming fifty-fifty deadlock. But that deadlock really is “seeming”. For starters, the American political playing field is not even remotely “level”. We […]

• S2E7: Dirty Laundry

  If you really want to know what’s happening on any film or TV set, the last people you should ask are the executives. We know nothing of value. We may have a pretty good fix on where the budget is, but we have no idea who’s sleeping with whom. Film and TV sets are emotionally […]

• America Feels Crazy Cos It’s Fighting Two Wars

  How crazy does America feel right now? Fighting two wars concurrently will do that to a nation. For starters, one of our two political parties doesn’t want to play “Democracy” anymore. That is, they don’t want to play American Democracy if it means losing elections. And they definitely want no part of a diversified America […]

• Kevin McCarthy Can’t Be Speaker Of The House Cos He’s A TRAITOR!

  GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy wants to replace Nancy Pelosi as next Speaker of the House. On the one hand, it’s nice that incompetent, talentless toads like Kevin aspire to big things. On the other, that’s absurd. A cynical, power-mad traitor like Kevin has no business being second in line to the American presidency because Kevin […]

• Republicans PUT Democracy On The Ballot

  Sometimes, elections aren’t about what you think they’re about. We know damned well what Election 2022 is about – “Democracy: Do Or Die”. While that’s not literally on the ballot, it might as well be. The thing is, “Democracy: Do Or Die” didn’t premier in this election. It’s played in American elections since 2016 – […]

• America Needs A Trump-ectomy

  Dear Donald Trump: America is soooooooo done with you. Stone cold fact: the majority of us despise the man. He couldn’t win a popular vote if his bloated, orange life depended on it. Winning the Electoral College is like winning a lottery you fixed yourself. Literally everything Trump touches turns to shit. He corrupts everything […]
