• The January 6, 2020 Insurrection Actually Began In 2016 With “Putin Pays Rohrbacher & Trump”

  Cause and effect. That’s really the puzzle we’re tasked with solving. If the effect in question is the January 6, 2020 insurrection then what is its cause? Its real cause – not the icing level “causes” our news media plunks down: “because angry”, “because love of Trump”, “because kitchen table economics” (our news media loves […]

• No, You CAN’T Run Government Like A Business Because They’re Two DIFFERENT Things

  Thinking you can run a democratic government like a business is as silly as thinking you can run a mortuary like a birthing business. They exist on opposite ends of a spectrum. The mortuary and birthing business may both be for-profit businesses that require extra sensitivity in their workforces, but aside from that, no matter […]

• Vladimir Putin Wants To Live In The Past; So Does Every Single Republican

  Regardless of whatever political system he grew up in, Vladimir Putin is the poster boy for conservatism. Communism may fit on the left side of the political spectrum but its execution never smacks of progressive values. I betcha that never in his life did Vlad Putin ever embrace communism like a faith. The only thing […]

• Maybe If You Have To CHEAT To Win Elections, It Means You’re Not Actually “Winning” Them

  When, oh when, did America legitimize CHEATING as a way “to win”? Take this to the bank and prepare to get filthy, stinking rich: if anyone other than white, Christian, male Republicans tried to pull off what the Republicans were pulling off well before Donald Trump took them over but even more wolfishly ever since […]

• Why Does The Republican Party Always Stand On The Wrong Side Of Everything?

  Imagine rooting for a pathogen to win because more dead people — even if they’re you — equals “winning” though “winning what” isn’t exactly clear. Why does “owning the libs” mean so much to right wingers, conservatives and Trumpanistas? Why does it mean more than life itself? Is being a raging asshole really that satisfying […]

• Donald Trump’s Entire Presidency Was A Crime Scene

  In theory, in a democratic republic like ours, the authority to govern flows from the People. We The People elect other citizens to represent our interests in how we govern ourselves. People we don’t elect (the election’s losers) do NOT receive the authority to govern — or create laws or make alliances — or nominate […]

• Show Me A Republican, I’ll Show You A Koch Whore

  Here’s a dirty, little secret: having money doesn’t make you smarter than anyone — even if your money bought you a first class education. Harvard and Yale graduate plenty of morons — most of them white — who got in on the strength of their name and connections, got graded on a curve because of […]

• Conservatism Can’t Think “Outside The Box” Because Conservatism IS “The Box”

  For all of conservatism’s many negatives, “truth in advertising” isn’t one of them. To its credit, conservatism will tell you right up front what it’s all about and what it wants our collective future to be: our past It’s right there in conservatism’s name — conservatives want to CONSERVE. Fair enough. Conserving the environment is […]

• We Really Can’t Compare What’s Happening To America Right Now With ANYTHING From Our Past

  People with zero imagination (like most of our news media) will always look to the past as prologue — and most of the time, it absolutely is. But this is not “most of the time”. You can tell because nothing even remotely like it has ever happened to us before. Richard Nixon may have been […]

  If only our news media could aggregate the story they’re reporting. If only our news media did its due diligence the way Fusion GPS did when they were hired (by Trump-fearing Republicans) to do oppo research on Donald Trump. If only Republicans hadn’t gutted campaign finance laws and made dark money the root of our […]
