I see so many articles about whether the government should ‘fund Planned Parenthood.’Â (Or, today, ‘de-fund’ the organization.) Since that’s a Republican lie, you’d think the ‘liberal media’ wouldn’t go along, but since ‘the liberal media’ is another lie, what can you do? The government doesn’t fund Planned Parenthood. It never has. Agencies get funded, not healthcare providers. Republicans started that lie long ago, and […]
The new Muslim ban is out, and it’s still terrible. I really hate this stuff, but at least it’s a different category. Normally, I have so much Trump crazy to talk about that I don’t have time to do the Republican crazy. This is what Trump promised to his crowds. It’s a key Republican position. It’s still as racist, xenophobic and wrong-headed as always, but […]
TrumpCare Death Spiral? On Monday morning, House Republicans chipped out their first TrumpCare draft. It was a terrible, half-hearted, miserable, disingenuous piece of political noise. The only surprising part was that they put out something this unfinished. Poor thing had almost no chance; dead on arrival. Why isn’t there a real Republican healthcare plan? That’s easy. The ACA was the Republican plan, modeled on the […]
Seriously? Why does anyone listen to that guy? Trump was so desperate to distract us from his Russian connections, he accused former President Obama of using the powers of the government to cheat on the election. Look, the power arrangement is simple: if you make an accusation, it’s you job to prove it. The stronger the accusation you make, the more critical that your proof […]
Did Trump Violate the Corrupt Foreign Practices Act? The New Yorker has been publishing really groundbreaking reports on Trump’s business dealings with Russian oligarchs. Rachael Maddow featured the recent Trump, Putin, and the New Cold War in a recent episode, and for what it’s worth after that, I recommend it, too. I’m writing about a more recent New Yorker article: Donald Trump’s Worst Deal. It’s […]
Home of the brave I still get confused about what it means to be a Republican. I’ve been looking for the Republican Party’s core beliefs, but they’re hard to find. I tried the 60-page Republican Platform 2016 first, but it was unreadable. Vague platitudes and a string of contradictory positions followed, both physically and intellectually, by justifications. I found this summary on a UK site, […]
Is Trump, on balance, a good choice? Trump Republicans have objected to the idea that voting for Trump meant they agreed with all his positions. Many complained they didn’t condone, say, Trump’s sexual predation, or his clear racism. They voted tor Trump because they felt he was a change agent, and they held their noses for his bad traits. It’s just politics. OK, I can […]
