This’ll be short. The indictment of Maria Butina outlines ties between Russia, the NRA, and the GOP. That goes along with recently disclosed ties between Russia, Evangelical leaders, and the GOP. If true, it helps explain the multi-million dollar surge in NRA political funding. Is this really the criminal enterprise it looks like? The NRA is the biggest Republican political contributor. Evangelicals and gun rights […]
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 the consensus of the nation. That is, someone who’s (again, roughly) in the middle of […]
Just another day in the Trump shitstorm. In time-order: A vote for Democrats in November is a vote to let MS-13 run wild in our communities, to let drugs pour into our cities, and to take jobs and benefits away from hardworking Americans. Democrats want anarchy, amnesty and chaos – Republicans want LAW, ORDER and JUSTICE! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 6, 2018 Always […]
It’s weird. Everything President Donald Trump and his Republican goons are promoting are lies. All a lie; not even a bit true. Immigration, refugees, trade, policing, Medicare, Medicaid, all of it. Trump’s been making up what he sees as happy Republican lies for decades now. I’m assuming his base knows that, too. They’re not stupid people, and (all rumors to the contrary), the Republican base […]
The New York Times published the graph above last November, as part of an article called, “What Explains US. Mass Shootings? International Comparisons Suggest an Answer.” It’s an older article, but I just ran into it. Give the graph a look. It does seem to suggest… well, something. Sure, correlation doesn’t mean causality. But, um, you know? Worst part? I ran into this article a few […]
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy just announced his retirement. Trump has publicly and repeatedly promised he would only nominate Supreme Court nominees who will reliably overturn Roe v. Wade. While Trump’s a worthless liar, in this case, I believe him. Whatever else happens, and whatever anyone says, every Trump nominee will be rock-solid against Roe v. Wade. And we already know that nobody in the […]
So, we’re looking at a new GOP that’s chosen to torture children for their political profit. That’s weird. Did they always do that, or is this something different? Trump, of course, is a coward who lies about the weather, for god’s sake, so he’s no measure. He denies the policy he announced earlier that day. His administration follows their deity and hysterically lie about every […]
As I write, Trump is oozing over Kim Jung Un, declaring his undying affection for the mass-murdering dictator. The news networks are breathlessly covering every shift and burp as if each lurch was a significant historical milestone. Trump knew they would, and he’s preening. But me, I’m terrified. Trump is winging everything. I’d say that I don’t know what he’ll do, but I really do. We […]
