• The GOP’s Nightmare Has Only Just Begun

  Yesterday was a huge win for Democrats. It was, aside from Florida and a few districts in New York, an electoral nightmare. Sure, sure – in the morning after, America stands in a seeming fifty-fifty deadlock. But that deadlock really is “seeming”. For starters, the American political playing field is not even remotely “level”. We…

• America Needs A Trump-ectomy

  Dear Donald Trump: America is soooooooo done with you. Stone cold fact: the majority of us despise the man. He couldn’t win a popular vote if his bloated, orange life depended on it. Winning the Electoral College is like winning a lottery you fixed yourself. Literally everything Trump touches turns to shit. He corrupts everything…

• Why Right Wing Talk Is Cheap

  Boy, the right wing makes a ton of noise, don’t they? They love getting up on their hind legs and spewing. The words being spewed don’t matter. It’s word salad that’s been through the garbage disposal. Alas, our undiscerning news media (undiscerning because they think “both sides do it”) makes zero distinction between facts and…

• Is Lindsey Graham Scared Because Putin’s War Is About To Expose The Entire GOP As Traitors?

  Lindsey Graham just had his turn to – in his case – ask Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (who’s as or more qualified than anyone who’s ever sat on the SCOTUS) “how many jelly beans are in the big ol’ jar?” Lindsey seemed less interested in questioning a SCOTUS nominee than in putting on a rather…

• The Republican Party Is Russia’s Fifth Column Inside America

  A “fifth column” is any group of people who betray a larger group from within, usually at the behest of a foreign enemy. Example: the Republican Party are betraying America because Russia – Vlad Putin – has given them zero choice. That’s how kompromat works. Ask Lindsey Graham. His whole attitude toward Donald Trump changed…

• Republicans Are Overgrown Schoolyard Bullies – On Steroids

  It’s weird, isn’t it, how some of us never leave the schoolyard? In a sense, the schoolyard never leaves those people; the schoolyard was where they peaked emotionally. “Bullies” (which includes pretty much everyone with an “R” still next to their name) look back fondly at their days terrorizing a schoolyard. They achieved a kind…

• After Trump, There Won’t BE A Republican Party Anymore

  A wise man (more like a wise guy actually) once tweeted ““If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed… and we will deserve it.” That was Lindsey Graham and he knew exactly what he was talking about. What Lindsey understood – deep down, it turns out – is that Trump both personified the Republican Party’s…

• Mitch McConnell Can Count Votes Too — So Long As They’re Corrupt

  As we lurch toward a Republican-forced government shut-down on Thursday night, the media keeps reminding us how good Nancy Pelosi is at counting votes. She won’t put a bill on the floor that doesn’t have the votes to pass. If Joe Biden’s agenda doesn’t have the votes today, Speaker Pelosi will work her magic —…

• 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…

• Let’s Talk About Dogma & American Journalism

  On the “Faitheism Project Podcast” I do with my dear friend Randy Lovejoy — a Presbyterian Pastor — we draw a distinction between spirituality and religion. Everyone — atheist, theist or agnostic — experiences awe as we gaze up at the cosmos. We are all very much connected to this massively huge universe. That relationship…
