It’s the money, stupid.
The number one political issue is money. Money is the root cause of political corruption. We need to fix that first.
Corruption, duplicity, thievery, and deception.
Stop Pretending: We Already Know the Truth
Americans are waiting for evidence about Republican corruption, even though we already know the answers. What does it say about America that we’re not willing to defend it?
A Question of Loyalty
I I’ve been reading too many pundits who lament, “What do Democrats want when they talk about Supreme Court nominees?” The question puzzles me. We live in a country almost equally into Democrats and Republicans with a smattering of smaller groups. And we want a Supreme Court nominee that represents...
Will America be able to fix the Republican corruption after Trump fails?
Are Republicans in Congress covering up malfeasance by the Trump administration? Are they blocking investigations of corruption because they might be committed by Republicans, at the same time using the instruments of our government to attack their political opponents? Are they hiding evidence of illicit coordination between Trump’s election campaign...
What are Trump’s motives?
As I write, it’s Friday night and we’re watching the news as the US, France and England attack Syria. We are theoretically retaliating against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad because he poisoned hundreds of Syrian civilians — men, women, and children — using prohibited chemical weapons.

Trump’s a kleptocrat who’s furiously disemboweling our supposedly beloved democracy. We check the news daily for updates about Robert Mueller’s investigation, hoping he’ll bring down the wrath of America on his evil. ...
Alabama isn’t New; the GOP is Rotting
I’m reading a lot of ink about what Roy Moore’s primary victory over Luther Strange really means to the GOP party discipline. Is it a GOP Civil War? Jesus. Really? That’s the overriding question? Did everyone lose their minds? Mass amnesia? No, the GOP is just rotting from the inside....
Thank God Trump Sucks at Corruption
Want today’s frightening thought? The only reason we’re talking honestly about Trump is that he’s completely bat-shit crazy. Trump sucks at corruption. If he wasn’t so horrifically incompetent, the opposition would be a minority. All he’d have to do is just pretend. He wouldn’t have to mean any of it,...
When Even Good Stuff is Bad News
I admit I think that it’s a good thing, the way Trump twists around ineffectually, struggling to respond to the crisis of the hour. It guarantees he can’t actually get things passed. I hate almost every goal Trump seems poised to try, so I’m good with that. But even the...
