Like most of us, I depend on Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team as the only fair witness to the Russian interference in the 2016 election. He’s a good man doing a difficult job and doing it well. And we don’t have many other groups doing the work. But almost everyone – including the media – are overlooking an essential fact: it is not […]
Republicans are destroying our democratic rules right in front of us. One by one, they’re grinding down their political opponents. An official GOP Enemies List. And we let them. It seems like it should be easier to stop them — they’re attacking basic American principles — and yet we don’t say much. My question is why. Are the corrupt Republicans completely unstoppable, or are the […]
American conservatism is a broad system of political beliefs in the United States that is characterized by respect for American traditions, republicanism, support for Judeo-Christian values,[1] moral absolutism,[2] free markets and free trade,[3][4] anti-communism,[4][5] individualism,[4] advocacy of American exceptionalism,[6] and a defense of Western culture from the perceived threats posed by socialism, authoritarianism, and moral relativism.[7] Wikipedia entry on Conservatism in the United States I […]
We all know that Three String Raconteur has been horribly slow. Loading times were so bad, our fans were asking why the site was offline. Ouch. But yeah, we know. It took more than 30 seconds for some pages. Absolutely awful. We’ve been working on it for a while, I swear. Hours on the phone, chats, research, and experiments. Thankfully, we finally found some of […]
We were wondering whether Trump would pardon Paul Manafort. And while he isn’t yet, Trump may be trying an end run. Instead of pardoning Manafort, Trump may be trying to buy Manafort’s debt. That would target the one person who scares Manafort more than Special Counsel Robert Mueller. And it might work. Let’s get all these colorful characters on the page. First, of course, is […]
This is very bad. The White House is scrubbing embarrassing information from official US records. They took the time to alter a transcript, deleting a critical question. It’s time for us to pay special attention. Remember last week’s horrific press conference with U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin? Yes, it’s only been a week. We saw terrible moments, but along with Trump […]
We keep calling Trumpland the new Bizzaro world, but it’s more literally true than we admit. It doesn’t just appear that Trump does the opposite of everything sensible. Trump attacks the American democracy, complaining about how unfair it is that its… um, fair, and might target him or people he likes. (Donald would prefer the law, like the IRS, be his attack dog.) As head […]
OK, this is crazy enough. Nobody (or so we’re told by Republicans, Democrats, and the media) knows what happened during Trump’s private meeting with Vladimir Putin. How could we know? Trump made sure there weren’t any staffers or stenographers in the room. Trump deliberately eliminated every person who would normally be a witness. No American recordings, either. So, they all say, nobody knows what was […]
