Why Does Donald Trump Keep Using The Word “Perfect”?
Every time Donald Trump uses the word “perfect” – to describe a phone call or a meeting or himself – “The Princess Bride” flashes across my mind. In “The Princess Bride”, Wallace Shawn’s character Vizzini keeps using the word “inconceivable” to describe things that are actually quite conceivable. Because they’re happening. Mandy Patinkin’s Inigo Montoya…

DID Trump Actually Win The 2016 Election?
The question always was inevitable – once we began pulling threads on Donald Trump’s spectacular corruption. We now understand that the only way Trump can avoid criminal prosecution for everything he’s done is to “win back” the presidency. Right this second, when we say “everything he’s done”, we mean his role in the January 6…

Why Is Boris Epshteyn Still Trump’s Lawyer? Same Reason Melania’s Still Trump’s Wife…
Why is this man standing next to Donald Trump – Boris Epshteyn – still Trump’s lawyer? It’s pretty much the same reason Melania Trump is still Trump’s wife.

Voting With Our Dollars
Supermarkets and ballots have a lot in common. So do buyers and voters. When we choose between Coke and Pepsi, we’re voting between them. That’s how Coke and Pepsi see it.

A “Gold Seam” Connects Republican Donors To The Insurrection
Fact: insurrections don’t pay for themselves. And, as a rule, insurrectionists themselves don’t have deep pockets. That was especially true of our insurrection. 99% of the angry white people over-running Congress on January 6 were middle class if that. In America, “middle class” means “just this side of broke”. Someone higher up the socioeconomic food…

The GOP Is “Trumpenstein’s Monster”
s I am not the first person to think of Trump as “Trumpenstein“. Some very clever people have been here already and created some very clever things! But, as people often do with the “Frankenstein franchise”, they mistake the monster for its creator. Frankenstein may be the “monster”, but Doctor Frankenstein created him. That will…
