Today’s Republicans are openly racist and anti-immigration, at least if you’re brown. (Go ahead: tell me why Trump only wants English-speaking Swedes.) So the GOP keeps pushing their classic approach to white supremacy: wrapping themselves in the flag and pretending they’re the most rational of all actors. All their positions are completely obvious, they insist. “Immigration is bad for America. America first!” They bellow about […]
The New York Times editorial board spouted weird, bipartisan nonsense. I think this has to be their own, personal, “…Good people on both sides” moment. The paper has always held their weird false ‘balance’. The Times, over and over, simply refuses to hold Republicans to account. The Times has published quite a few oddly biased articles and editorials over the past few years. (Tell me […]
The Trump Philosophy isn’t hard to understand. Hell, it’s so small, it barely exists. The body of things he really believes are only a tiny subset of all the stuff he does. I have no idea why the press focuses so strongly on something that doesn’t appear to actually exist. God protect me from another tiresome story about Trump’s changing positions. But, you know… once […]
The answer is “yes”, but we should look more closely. Understanding Trump’s specific pathology helps us understand the meaning behind his apparently chaotic, often childlike behavior. Identifying his personality classification will give us with tools to navigate around the insanity Trump throws in all directions. Is Trump a sociopath? Please don’t scoff or roll your eyes, I know it’s obvious, but let’s look at the […]
It seems odd to suggest that our democracy is in peril, but I’m starting to wonder. Are we at risk of seeing this democratic experiment be swept aside? I’d have laughed about this even a few weeks ago, but now? I’m not so sure. I wonder if this is the beginning of the American collapse. Republicans have used local power to rig elections, so that […]
Jesus fucking Christ! Banned words? Thought crimes? Is this Trump guy a halfwit or what? I talked about this in Control the Language to Control the Argument, but that was complex language control by smart people. Trump is just bone-thick stupid; he can’t pull this off, can he? Sure, Trump put political commissars into our agencies to ensure ideological purity. To Donald Trump! And sure, […]
Donald Trump, in his effort to crush the American federal government, has started the first Republican Putsch. Several news sources report that the EPA funneled federal funds through a no-bid contract to partisan Republican groups. The avowed purpose was “media monitoring”. That really means using Republican dirt-research firm America Rising to search out anyone in the agency who criticizes the EPA, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, […]
No, Alabama wasn’t a national election, and no, this is not all about us, or America as a whole. It was an Alabama election, and it speaks about Alabama more than anything else. After Doug Jones’s victory last night in Alabama’s Senate election, the talking heads are patting themselves on the back so hard they’re going hurting themselves. It was not so much a rejection […]
