Hmmm, a couple of bills went down to defeat yesterday. At least one that I did not expect. SB 24 (Henry), which ‘would allow people with anxiety to get medical marijuana and loosen its prescription for those with post-traumatic stress disorder’, was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 9 Y, 1N, and 10 […]

I wonder what would have happened if Obama had asked Comey to stop investigating Hillary Clinton? “I hope you can let this go,” Trump asked of Comey. Knowing the President was in the process of obstruction justice, Comey drafted an unclassified memo to create “a paper trail” documenting what he saw as Trump’s improper attempts […]

Before we look at what’s happening today, we first must address what SHOULD happen today: The House should censure Rep. Steve Smyk for his disgraceful behavior in inciting violence. The demagogic ex-cop told a grave lie that has now taken over right-wing media, a lie that could well lead to violence. Nancy Willing lays it […]

Yes. Trump is the worst, but so what?

Yes.  Trump is the worst, but so what?

The WaPo reports that gave top secret info to the Russians.

President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.

Republicans still put their loyalty to the GOP above their loyalty to the country. And when I say Republicans, I mean your Neigbor, your Uncle, Charlie Copeland. We are through the looking glass. The country is less safe, and the GOP simply does not give a fuck.

The GOP’s Secret Mid-term Weapon (…is not so secret)

The GOP’s Secret Mid-term Weapon (…is not so secret)

Their party’s leader is a corrupt buffoon. The GOP controlled House of Representatives voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a used Pampers ™ filled with ebola monkey shit, putting some 24 million people on the “hope you don’t get sick” plan. Quite a mid-term strategy. We should clobber them, right? Wrong.
