The Wall Street Journal has an article that doesn’t bode well for our democracy: Many Republicans refuse to acknowledge Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, saying they have lost faith in the electoral system. They also have doubts that 2024 will deliver a legitimate winner, while Democrats worry that Republicans will contest an outcome that doesn’t go […]

Bret Baier – on Fox News no less – points out that most of the “best people” who Donald Trump claimed he hired, have now come out against him, and he has himself attacked them as bad people. In addition, by the end of his term, eleven of his closest associates (Steve Bannon, Tom Barrack, […]
Usually, when you see that word, you think about Donald Trump, but not this week! The grifter supreme right now is Clarence Thomas. Thomas was young and inexperienced when he was nominated to the Supreme Court by George H. W. Bush, having spent only one year as a judge. He was confirmed, despite attorney Anita […]

Donald Trump is claiming that the investigations into his crimes are a “witch hunt” against a presidential candidate. But his followers don’t seem to see the gross hypocrisy of their (and Trump’s) calls in 2016 to throw Hillary Clinton in jail. But even worse, Trump seems to be claiming that a president, even after he […]

I have nothing to add to this cartoon: Why does anyone believe anything Tucker Carlson says? Not to mention the other “entertainers” on Fox News.

In 2008, the dot.com meltdown cratered a bunch of tech companies. In response, Obama got Dodd-Frank passed, to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. Then Donald Trump got elected, and he repealed almost all of Dodd-Frank. Now, the same thing that happened in 2008 happened again. If Dodd-Frank were still law, the Silicon Valley Bank […]

I’m sure most of you know about the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against Fox “News” Corporation, which claims that FNC defamed Dominion by spreading lies that Dominion’s voting machines deliberately switched Trump votes to Biden votes. You probably even saw the recent news that everyone at FNC — including management from the top on down, […]

One might even say that it is ballooning! Ever since the Chinese weather/spy balloon was sighted over the US and getting media attention, Republicans have been attacking Biden for how he handled it. There’s just one problem. This is not the first time that Chinese balloons have drifted through US airspace. In fact, there were […]

And now, classified documents have been discovered at the residence of Mike Pence, despite the fact that Pence claimed he didn’t have any. Now, don’t get me wrong. It is not a crime to accidentally or inadvertently have some classified documents show up where they shouldn’t be. The crime is to take them intentionally, or […]

CNN catches Republican Congressman Byron Donalds being completely hypocritical. The replies are pretty hilarious, too! Turns out that Donalds is also a criminal. In 1997, he was arrested for dealing marijuana, and in 2000, he pleaded guilty to felony bribery (as part of a scheme to defraud a bank). And of course, he was one […]

Actually, it is WAY more than twice. One thing about the recent Speaker of the House election that seems to have been largely ignored (including by most media outlets) is that the MAGA 20 keep claiming that they are fiscal conservatives who want to reduce the federal deficit. This is a baldfaced lie. First, let’s […]

In an interview, Michael Cohen makes a good point that Donald Trump is not actually running for president. The whole interview is interesting. Cohen points out that Trump had done exactly two things, he filled out a form saying that he is running for president, and he announced he was running on the “Truth Social” […]

Republicans are very slowly condemning Donald Trump for calling for the termination of the Constitution, but they will still vote for him in the next presidential election.

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and said it was up to each state to decide abortion rights, there have been six states that put the fate of reproductive rights on the ballot. The first ballot measure was from Kansas in August, where Republicans outnumber Democrats two-to-one. And yet the measure passed by […]

Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) wants badly to be Speaker of the House, and there is a strong chance that Republicans will take control of the House at the midterm elections. There’s just one big problem: McCarthy makes big mistakes. For example, he clumsily kept most Republicans off the Jan 6 committee. Trump called him “very, very […]
