• Now That The Republicans Have Their Crown Jewel, They Have No Idea How To Keep It

  Ya can’t blame Republicans for always making rookie mistakes. When it comes to being good humans, they’re rookies. At best. They’re an object lesson in what happens when you do things for all the wrong reasons. They’ve focused on ending Roe v Wade – and “privacy” as a “thing” in American jurisprudence – for fifty […]

• The News Media’s Failure Of Imagination Is Killing Our Democracy

  How long did it take the news media – a profession built in theory upon the collection of facts – to decide that a man who lied to them every single day was a liar? By lie number three, any reasonable person would have begun to see a pattern. By lie number ten, that pattern […]

• Republicans Are To Integrity What Donald Trump Is To The Truth

  Integrity matters more than almost anything. It’s the measure by which each of us judges whether or not the rest of are full of crap or not. Each and every one of us is born with one hundred percent of our integrity intact. Same goes for our innocence. Soon enough, for better or worse, Life […]

• The Republicans Aren’t Acting “Politically”, They’re Acting CRIMINALLY For Political Reasons

  A big, big part of “Both Sides Do It’s” destructiveness flows from its cynical insistence that every single one of us behaves exactly the same and for the exact same reasons. “Both Sides Do It” journalism assumes that every American is entirely self-interested first and foremost – that we all behave like white, Christian men […]

• “Putin Pays Rohrbacher And Trump – Swear To God!” Should Have Been The END Of Donald Trump

  When the complete history of our era finally gets written, I betcha one of the things future generations shake their heads at is how we allowed Donald Trump to be a free man for most of his life. Keep in mind, that history will be written long after every treasonous Republican who enabled, supported or […]

• The Problem Isn’t Just That Putin “Might” Escalate To Nukes/Bioweapons, It’s WHERE He’d Do It

  War, in general, never presents perfect choices where going one way (if it works) will be pain-free. Trade-offs and trenches go hand-in-hand. As we’re learning – since our intelligence services are suddenly liberated like never before to tell what they know – Putin started this war not only under false pretense but under the false […]

• Is Corruption Some Sort Of “Super Power”?

  Consider corruption’s remarkable power to destroy everything good in a heartbeat. Consider how hard it is for good to wipe out corruption. Now, corruption itself is just an abstract idea – it’s greed asserting itself in some form or another – wanting more for oneself than one is entitled to. More money, more power, more […]

• Fact: If Not For Russia, Donald Trump Would NEVER Have Been POTUS

  Russia’s road to war in Ukraine started in Washington, DC – on the day the Republican Party officially hitched its wagon (its whole brand in fact!) to Donald Trump’s. That wasn’t July 19, 2016 the day the GOP officially nominated Trump; the nomination was merely the prettified coronation of a traitor. No, the day the […]

• “Republican Leadership” Is An Oxymoron

  George Carlin used to do a great bit (almost everything that man did was great!) about words that really don’t belong together like “jumbo shrimp” or “military intelligence”. Add “Republican leadership” to that list. As we stand here today, we can point to the people in the Republican Party whose job titles assert they’re “leaders” […]

• Treason Kabuki (For Idiots)

  Politics and theater go together like peanut butter and jelly… like hopes and dreams… like a slap in the face and the sharp pain that goes with it. For five plus years now, America has been treated to a remarkable performance by the Republican Party. They are actively attempting to stop America from ever becoming […]
