Trump Runs For Presidency–Of The Confederacy.  He’s determined to take NASCAR with him.  Backwards reels the mind.

The Rogues’ Gallery Of Small Business Loan RecipientsFossil Fuel Companies Just Steal Money. As, Of Course, Do Companies With Trump Ties. Here’s The Most Egregious Rethug Recipient. Let’s Not Forget The Dallas Megachurch That Hosted Pence, And Pious Propagators Of Pedophilia.  No wonder Trump didn’t want the list made public.  Everything is broken. Everything is stolen.

The Worst Economic Fallout From Covid Is Coming Soon.  Robert Reich, speaking truth about impending doom.

ICE Sez: Foreign Students Must Take Classes In-Person, Or Face Deportation.  Yet one more hed I never expected to write.

Florida: Schools Must Reopen In August. Brick-and-mortar schools.  Tripling down on stupidity.  I think Trump has already lost Florida.

Yo, Biden, Legalize Marijuana.  Great policy, great politics. And it’s good for the economy.  His anti-drug mentality appears to be a bridge too far, however.

    “Trump Runs For Presidency–Of The Confederacy”. Trump hasn’t tried to add a single voter to his list of supporters.

    For me this is more evidence that he is trying to get his existing supporters into a highly agitated state in order to create enough violence & chaos to steal the election.

      This would require Trump to be capable of planning, something he’s never shown the slightest ability to do.

      He’s not creating chaos to steal the election. He’s creating chaos because he’s alive and it’s all he knows how to do. Stealing the election is a separate project.

    He builds a coalition of misfits, bigots, religious nuts, racists and bitter unaccomplished white folk and the like. It’s a lot of people ready to vote for a reality show carnival barker

    How lovely that we gave billions to churches, as an Atheist this makes my blood boil. Strongly suspect the majority were of the born again variety. But who’s surprised the stimulus was a corrupt catastrophe? Not me, payoffs to friends and Trump supporters were the first thing that crossed my mind. It’s not just Trump, it’s all the rest of the politicians as well. “Our” government remains a pathetic failure.

      El Som,
      Cannot agree with your verdict. In essence, you’re letting Marmalade Man assert “I take no responsibility” for every aspect of his wretched life.
      No man could possibly genetically come by an asshole quite as large as his. He had to work at it, and we all know it.
      Trump is a massive POS because he has worked hard to grow his POS brand. In fact, it’s the only thing he’s ever worked at,

    Here’s a fascinating look at how far motivated people will go to plant fake news: They created fake journalists to write opinion pieces for various publications. Many, especially in the right wing media, bit.

    • I love the site that kept the post up because, even while admitting that the person who ‘wrote’ the piece does not exist, it nevertheless agrees with the premise of the piece.
