The election happens in two weeks. Maybe, if we are lucky, we will know the results within two weeks after that. Republicans are starting to flee Trumpism, sensing that their leader has become a loser. Some of them, like John Cornyn, are shooting themselves in the foot doing it. I, for one, am looking forward […]
Trump is the first president in over a century who doesn’t have a dog. What I want to know is, in the clip of Trump saying he doesn’t want a dog, why are all those supporters clapping?
There is an interesting article in Time Magazine by Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Ali G, etc.) titled “We Must Save Democracy from Conspiracies”. Here’s a sample: Using unhinged lies and conspiracies to gain power and subjugate others is, of course, nothing new. The blood libel—the myth that Jews murdered Christian children and used their blood […]
There are so many reasons to vote during this presidential election. Which of these are included in your reasons?
I love hearing Michelle Obama speak. Listening to someone who actually understands and believes what they are talking about (without any overriding political agenda) is so refreshing. Yes, I know a 24-minute video is way too long for our short-attention-span world. But I’m posting this only because you might have noticed this video, but not […]
I hope everyone notes that Hope Hicks was showing symptoms of Covid-19 and was diagnosed Wednesday night. She had been in frequent close contact with Donald Trump. But did Trump quarantine himself? I’ll give you one guess. According to WaPo, on Thursday “Trump and his entourage flew to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser […]
It seems clear that only fanatics or people who are desperate for a job will work for Donald Trump. Here is documentation that all four of the people in this comic are unhinged religious fanatics: Bill Barr — “The attorney general believes the Christian hegemony is essential to American democracy, and wants to leverage state […]
Yet another killer ad from the Lincoln Project, featuring Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. UPDATE: Extra bonus Lincoln Project ad, based on last night’s shit-storm of a debate. Trump interrupted Biden, saying “Don’t ever use the word ‘smart” with me.” Well, ok.
I’ve said this before, and many times, but it bears repeating. Especially with new direct evidence. Strict lockdowns are the best (if not the only) way to beat Covid-19. Especially if done early. The earlier it is done, and the more severe the lockdown, the easier it is on people. I know this sounds counterintuitive, […]
I’ve waded through the entire (very long) NY Times article about Trump’s taxes, but I have to say that Heather Cox Richardson has a much better summary of it. Here’s one paragraph from it: This, of course, means that Trump is a huge national security risk. He owes money—to whom we don’t know—and he does […]
A little over a week ago I read about a new Covid-19 test that can provide good results in as little as 15 minutes. It is also less expensive because it does not require being sent to a lab, although it does require someone with training to administer (it is not expected that people can […]
Today’s edition of Electoral-Vote starts off by talking about Donald Trump’s attempts to steal the election (as talked about in my post yesterday). But then they ask “But will it work?“. And EV thinks that there are good reasons why Trump’s plans will fail. I sure hope so, but I’m not as sure as they […]
Here are parts of last night’s post from Heather Cox Richardson. You should read the whole thing. This is important news that is being overshadowed by the fight over nominating and confirming a replacement for RBG. Today Americans were roiled by an article in The Atlantic, detailing the method by which the Trump campaign is planning […]
A remarkably sweet ad from the Lincoln Project celebrating the life of RBG.
Thing that I expect will happen: Evangelicals will claim that God killed Ruth Bader Ginsburg so that Republicans can appoint another arch conservative to the court. Mitch McConnell will ram someone through, despite the hypocrisy of sitting on Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland for most of a year. In fact, McConnell has already said […]
