Fifth Column Traitors And Republicans
That headline could just as easily read “Republicans Are Fifth Column Traitors“. Same difference. A traitor is a traitor is a traitor. And the Republican Party isn’t just the Trumpist Party now, it’s the party of treason. The term “fifth column” originated during the Spanish Civil War. Emilio Mola Vidal, a Nationalist general who served…

Alas Our News Media Is Intellectually Lazy And Stupid
There’s a great line in National Lampoon’s Animal House. Dean Wormer stands before our heroes – the boys from Delta House – but he’s focused on Flounder in particular. “Fat, drunk, and stupid,” says Dean Wormer, “is no way to go through life, son.” Dear News Media: think of me as Dean Wormer and you…

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…

That Look In Lindsey Graham’s Eyes
Remember back when Lindsey Graham said Trump was a kook and a racist and a bigot and that nominating Trump would lead to the end of the Republican Party. And that they’d deserve it? How about the Lindsey Graham who used to call John McCain his BFF? What happened to that guy? How did he…

The GOP Didn’t Just Turn Fascist
The way our news media reports it, Trumpism took over the Republican Party quite suddenly – like a terrorist hijacking an airplane. Prior to that? The GOP was an honest actor, holding up its end of the greatest experiment ever in human self-government. Don’t blame the poor GOP for what Trump and Trumpism have done…

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…
