• 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 […]

• The Press Has A Dog In This Fight; “Both Sides Do It” Blinds Them To That Fact

  Watching Jake Sherman (founder of the Punchbowl News newsletter) on MSNBC just now drives home the point: whatever talent Sherman might have as a journalist is totally undermined by his acceptance of “Both Sides Do It” brand thinking and journalism. The first thing “Both sides do it” does to any journalist thinking this way is […]

• 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 […]

• 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 […]

• The Truth Is Elections DON’T Matter – Not To Republicans

  Ever notice how the news media loves to taunt Democrats? They don’t taunt Republicans the same way because Republicans won’t be taunted by people – the news media – they dismiss. Republicans are fact averse because facts don’t support most of what they want the way their feelings do. The Trumpification of the GOP didn’t […]

• “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 […]

• Lack Of Imagination Versus Failure Of Imagination

  Why has our news media failed us at this, the most pivotal of moments in our and its history? Consider the string of events, all incredibly impactful by themselves: Vladimir Putin’s willful decision to wage cyber war on America’s 2016 election, the Brexit vote (and Russia’s direct influence upon it), Donald Trump’s entire presidency (and […]

• Do We Really Need To Connect ALL The Dots To Prove Trump Is A Traitor?

  For the entirety of his presidency, our news media couldn’t fathom why Donald Trump seemed so unnaturally beholden to Vladimir Putin. I bet the actual number of times our press wondered aloud about Trump’s subservience is literally incalculable. Personally, I’m shocked most TV talking heads don’t have actual divots in their scalps from scratching their […]

• The Picture Definition Of “Treason”

  “Treason” is a loaded word. At least it used to be. Like “Nazi” or “fascist” or “authoritarian”, “treason” was a word that, if you were the first to spew it, it meant you weren’t serious, that you were all feelings over facts. Ironically, in America, it’s still one hundred percent kosher to call anyone left […]
