Pity the poor Donald. Poor, poor baby. I routinely wince through Trump’s Twitter feed because it’s helpful in…. No, I guess it’s not really ‘helpful’. OK, so I read his thumb-ings because that’s how he shows what he believes…. No, no, not that either. He doesn’t believe anything beyond his own greatness (which he doesn’t really believe, either). That and all those scary brown people […]
There are any number of theories about Hurricane Irma, and Harvey before it. The amount of unadulterated crazy on display is… educational. But I think they’re all missing the point. Apparently, big storms don’t just happen. That would be too random. But they aren’t being made worse by climate change, either. That would be too non-random; too unbelievable. Human activity is too small to change […]
Charlottesville events are dropping off the news cycle. And we all got played. The Alt-Right came out as heros, and the antifacists set themselves up to be vilified.
The Equifax breach is more damaging than you think. Worse, if you’re reading this, you’re probably affected, too.
With the appointment of a political hack to the EPA, Republicans are corrupting science. They’re deciding who gets government grants based on politics, not science.
Jesus, you fuckwit! The Articles of Impeachment were a list of crimes! They weren’t a goddamn recipe book! I was re-reading Congress’s Articles of Impeachment against Nixon. Chilling stuff. But it’s like Trump struggled to fit each Nixonian element into his busy schedule. Here’s Article 1, the first and presumably most important part: In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, […]
Did you know that the Senate impeached President Richard Nixon at least partly for lying to the American people? They saw that as malfeasance in office. I didn’t remember that. Lying is dishonorable for most of us, but it isn’t always a crime. In 1974, though, Congress felt differently about the President’s words. Part of the reason they were removing him from office was because […]
Since there are news reports that Trump started sending American troops into war, it’s probably something worth talking about. Do we really need another, bigger war? First, think way, waaaay back to… August 21st. (I know: more than a week ago; bear with me.) President Donald Trump’s first prime time speech. Remember the row of flags? Trump decided he’d try to shout over his clear […]
