If An Unhinged President Gives An Unhinged Press Conference, Is It News To Show That The President Is Unhinged? I’m asking the journalists among us, and there are a few. I think the answer is yes, but it should be buttressed with analysis by mental health professionals and discussion of what it means for the […]

Trump Foments Insurrection. There’s no other way to interpret his ‘Liberate’ tweets. He is both utterly irresponsible and demonstrably mentally-ill. The fact that his MAGATs take whatever he says as Gospel is dangerous. With his encouragement of protests and the prevalence of arms among his supporters, we can only hope that another Charlottesville is not […]

For Trump, Every Day Is Festivus. An utterly-unhinged President and his utterly-unhinged press conferences. Yesterday alone featured a campaign video paid for by the taxpayers, a presidential assertion of absolute power, and a two-hour monologue uninterrupted by even one mention of what his administration is actually doing to stop the pandemic. Here’s a good take. […]

The Biden Rape Allegation Surfaces. I, for one, don’t dismiss it as out-of-hand. Her allegations should be investigated. Did she file a complaint with the Senate in 1993, as alleged? So far, there is no corroboration. But people dismiss sexual assault allegations at their own risk. Better to find out now than in, say, October. […]

WHERE ARE THE TESTS? Perhaps the biggest lie, among all the lies that the President repeats daily, is that we have the best testing program in the world. Along with, you know that ‘Everybody who wants a test can get a test’ lie. Do you know what percentage of Americans have had a coronavirus test? […]
