NO!   No to this.

This is fun poking MAGA idiots, but on balance, no.   Just no. Jack Smith is not going to save democracy. Only organizing, only getting everyone you know to vote against Republicans at every level of government during every election is going to save democracy. Don’t put your faith in men. Put your faith, and your […]

Some people in the media are pretending that the case against Donald Trump hinges on whether he believed what he was saying about the election being “stolen.” Uh, no.

All In The Timing.  Looks like the DC case is gonna go first.  No-nonsense judge, no pesky co-conspirators on trial with him, trial date to be set on August 28.  Don’t think Trump’s mouthpieces can stop this one from happening sooner rather than later: What is coming into focus for me is that we’re likely […]

When I say Hunter Biden should do the right thing and go to jail,  I think about Jared and Ivanka. It isnt’s “bothsiderism” it is just me reminding myself that the media’s rules for Democrats are not the same as the media’s rules for Republicans.

Fox Begs Trump To Show Up At Their Debate.  Maybe he’ll agree if Fox makes its ‘fair and balanced’ coverage even more fair and balanced: Shortly after learning he was being indicted a third time, former President Donald J. Trump had a private dinner with the top leadership at Fox News as they lobbied him […]

Song of the Day 8/3: Elton John, “Slave”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on August 3, 2023 0 Comments

Warning: It is illegal to play this song for students in Florida. This seems like an odd topic for a British pop singer to tackle, but it fit with lyricist Bernie Taupin’s early fascination with 19th-century Americana. It was included on “Honky Chateau,” the 1972 LP that sealed John’s stardom. You might notice that there […]

I keep forgetting how eager Biden and Merrick Garland were to let “bygones be bygones” and allow Trump to fade into obscurity. They really just wanted him to shut the fuck up, and all the Jan 6th stuff would have been forgiven.   Congress shamed them into it. And of course, Trump could no more shut […]

Everyone is not a politics news junky.  And because conservative news is always on in waiting rooms, bars and barber shops,  you may hear less informed people [like my brother-in-law] saying this: Why now?   It is three years later?   It does seem a little like election interference, doesn’t it?   Have pity on these people.  I […]
