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…

Donald Trump Entered Office A Grave National Security Threat
Open meet shut. Donald Trump took America’s most closely guarded secrets with him to Mar-a-Lago. And then he lied about the fact that he’d done it. Repeatedly. When even Bill Barr refuses to get your back, you’re toast. Barr said on Fox News yesterday, “I can’t think of a legitimate reason why they should have…

Is Waiting For Merrick Garland To Act Going To Be Like “Waiting For Godot”?
We seem to be experiencing what Yogi Berra called “deja vu all over again”. For five years now, Donald Trump has committed crimes out in the open. He’s been as overt a traitor as a traitor could be. What else would one call Trump’s relationship with Putin except treasonous? How much more obvious does it…

Put Up V Shut Up
Finally – the Department of Justice has INDICTED STEVE BANNON! Come Monday morning, it would have been two weeks since Steve Bannon thumbed his gin blossomed nose at the January 6 Committee and refused to honor their subpoena. The Committee referred the case to Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice — a luxury the Democrats didn’t…

But, At The Very, VERY End Of The Day? This Is STILL A Story About TREASON
We are living in the nightmare version of “the cover up being worse than the crime”. In fact, we’re so deep into the cover up that most Americans have probably forgotten that there even is an “original crime” — the thing that actually motivated every other crime Donald Trump and his Republican collaborators perpetrated. “The…

The Solution To Our Constitutional Crisis Isn’t Political — That’s Why The Department Of Justice Matters So Much Right Now
The rule of law, unfortunately, cannot enforce itself. Granted, the rule of law itself is a human creation and so, flawed, but, for some reason, our inability to enforce the rule of law reveals far deeper flaws in our nature. Or in how we frame the rule of law. Racism remains built into our architecture.…

Or, What If The Meeting Between Biden & Putin Is More Of A “Showdown”?
For four years, Vladimir Putin looked DOWN into Donald Trump’s eyes as Trump metaphorically serviced Vlad. As current GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy knew a full month before the GOP nominated Trump to be POTUS, Putin owned him. As Kevin put it: “There’s two people I think Putin pays – Rohrbacher and Trump – swear to…

The GOP’s Ultimate Goal Is To Avoid Being Prosecuted As Traitors
Stone cold fact: we are in the midst of an undeclared cyber war, launched against us by Russia which, itself, is being aided and abetted by almost the entire Republican Party. Members of the GOP’s hierarchy suspected more than a month before they nominated Donald Trump that he was more than just corrupt, he was…

The Democrats Have Another Card Up Their Sleeve — Except It’s Not THEIR Card, It’s OURS – A Functioning Department Of Justice
The press loves a horse race more than anything because, in theory, horse races are easy to cover whereas covering the Republican Party’s attempt in plain sight to seize power forever? That would take perspective and the ability to aggregate a story — two things “Both Sides Do It” brand journalism just doesn’t “do”. Our…

Anyone Who Thinks The Republicans Will Take Back The House Or Senate In 2022 Is An IDIOT!
Our news media keeps proving that conventional wisdom is long on convention but short on wisdom. They also keep proving that most of them suck at storytelling even worse than they suck at journalism. And, make no mistake, the majority of American journalists really aren’t that good at journalism. It’s not entirely their fault. Somewhere…
