(I borrowed the image from an excellent article in Mother Jones: It’s Time for Journalism to Stand for Something.) Here’s a surprise. Apparently, despite publishing hundreds of thousands of words every day, the Washington Post and the New York Times show poor reading comprehension. I thought they’d be better, but it explains much of today’s news reporting. And why we end up so confused sometimes. It’s...
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...
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...
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...
