Racists, Rapists And Republicans All Have A “Point Of View”; None Of Them Have A “Point” However
A bully bullies someone. Both bully and bullied have a point of view of the bullying. The bully’s point of view: I bullied; the bullied’s: I was bullied. If pressed to defend what they did though, unless the bully can prove — with receipts — that he had a good reason for bullying someone (good…

Please Pity The Conservative Male — If He Had Confidence In Himself, He Wouldn’t Be So Conservative — Or Gullible
Ignore whatever political party a Donald Trump “belongs to”. He was a Democrat when he did business in Manhattan because that was more useful than being a Republican. Pure cynicism.

Donald Trump & Trumpism Are What Happens When Magical Thinking Goes Psycho
Magical Thinking should have an expiration date — at the end of childhood, say. Or when one turns 18 and votes for the first time. Alas, that’s not the case. Some people — Republicans — never lose their taste for Magical Thinking. That’s because it’s more than a taste, it’s an addiction. The reason religious…

And How Exactly DOES One “Compromise” With Evil?
Too much of the American news media still has it in their heads that “both sides do it”. Whatever rotten things Republicans do, plenty of reporters, before they get to the rotten things, will remind their audience that it’s not just Republicans who do this rotten thing, “both sides do it”. Got proof? Do both…
