Occam’s Razor. According to the Washington Post, President of the United States Donald J. Trump announced that the U.S. is poised to ramp up military in Afghanistan. This would be reopening the war that has already run for 16 years. Why? Because former Attorney General Sally Yates had just testified in an open session of Congress, explaining some of what she’d told the Trump Administration […]
Apparently there are none. This was a Trump tweet from 15 hours ago (as of this writing): General Flynn was given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration – but the Fake News seldom likes talking about that. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 8, 2017 Not exactly. Flynn received his security clearance, yes. Then he went crazy, and the Obama administration fired him, […]
UPDATE: Macron won the French election easily. I think we all dodged a bullet on that one. The difference here is that Macron was 20-30 percent ahead; Hillary’s lead was only 1-3 percent, which put her close enough for the Russian hack of the American election to be consequential. — This is well-timed, for a horrid piece of election hacking. The Russians have hacked the […]
Here’s my concern. My brother is 100 percent disabled. He’s not my responsibility — he’s his own man — but I worry for him. Financially, he’s barely making do. Don’t get me wrong: he’s nobody’s saint. He’s struggled his whole life to find a place that works for him. He’s seen success, jail, money, and addiction. Back when he was out of control, I hated […]
Straight up. That new AHCA that Congress voted through? Anyone notice it has a clause that keeps all the best parts of Obamacare for themselves? Really. According to The Hill, the bill the House just passed includes a special clause that guarantees Congress and their staff get to keep their original, full, uncut Obamacare benefits. Nobody else does, but they’re good to stay. Oddly, that […]
Remember: they’re doing this for you. Republicans struggle with a reputation for being heartless. Hard rep to avoid, what with their work on limiting unemployment, cutting aid to the poor, fast-tracking foreclosures, rewarding and protecting shady financiers, and especially, today’s vote throwing Kimmel’s kid out of the neonatal ICU. So I can see why people gravitate to that reputation, but I don’t think it’s deserved. […]
Ever listen to grade-school boys talk? They spend a lot of time talking about who can beat up who. It’s important to them. I was listening to Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC the other day. He was showing clips from Rush Limbaugh. Rush was complaining about how Republicans caved on the recent budget extension. His callers, unsurprisingly, agreed it was a bad deal, and they weren’t […]
Here I am, still struggling to know how to deal with a government that lies as casually as this one, and now I have to deal with the media as an adversary, too. i watched Chuck Todd on Meet the Press. So you don’t have to. I wanted to follow that with, “You can thank me later,” but honestly? Y’all still owe me for that […]
