Just in case anyone wondered if President Donald Trump was irrational, his Iran war should help clear the air. Trump is punishing Iran with sanctions, restrictions, and now, acts of war, all to get… something. “A better deal!” bellows the man-child who couldn’t describe the significant elements of the existing deal he unilaterally broke. It’s all empty noise for the cameras. Trump is a vacant […]
The media are still getting their election coverage weirdly wrong. The election is still over a year away; almost everything is still fluid. We just had a new candidate register. The existing candidates are only firming the positions they’ve barely articulated. It may become a horserace down the line, but right now, we’re still in the marketplace, picking and choosing from everyone. And this is […]
Trump’s Artifical Crisis
Oh, lordy. I know that Trump’s “immigration” problem is all a lie. It’s an artificial crisis that leaves me depressed. Let me see if I can say this clearly. First: there’s a long American tradition – and tons of laws – that allows foreigners to apply to the US for asylum. That’s legal and accepted. We’ve been that way forever because we’re mostly good people. […]
Trump was right! He can rape a woman on 5th Avenue, and he won’t lose a vote from his base. All I can figure is that Trump’s base knows that the President is a raging, unhinged psycho, and they like that about him. It’s kind of like a superpower that way.
We get strong evidence that Trump raped a woman, and nobody cares. We’re pretty sure it’s true, and that Trump is guilty. And yet nobody besides a few pundits stands up and objects. The major media barely cover the story. What does that say about us? Elle advice columnist Jean Carroll was the New York magazine June cover story: Donald Trump assaulted me in a […]
I can’t figure out why the Democrats in the House are struggling to decide whether to investigate President Donald Trump’s possible crimes. I guess knowing all those hidden details will be a good thing eventually. Really, though, Trump’s crimes are already in the public record. The man is guilty as sin. This should be easy. Trump can’t tell a lie without later blurting out an […]
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.
No collusion! There was no collusion, none, no collusion. Notice Trump rarely recalls who he supposedly colluded with, but instead claims across the board, no one colludes with him, except maybe Twitter, they just LOVE Trump. As we all suspected, he isn’t smart enough to conspire with anyone vaguely intelligent (except Treasury Secretary Mark Mnuchin). Nor are even modestly clever psychopaths jumping to bring Trump […]
