• 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 […]

• Judge Aileen Cannon Makes Mitch McConnell Smile

  When history finally judges us and this particular patch of time, Mitch McConnell will be of our uber villains.

• How To Argue With A Republican

  Step One: Don’t. That is, don’t argue with a Republican on their terms. That’s because Republicans don’t really have terms. They’re hell bent on winning all arguments purely for winning’s sake and it doesn’t matter how they win. That means if you enter an argument with a Republican thinking there are some kind of “rules”, […]
