I beg to differ

Thursday, September 12, 2019

Lawrence O’Donnell thinks that John Bolton’s inevitable book could have a significant impact on the 2020 election. I beg to differ. I certainly agree that Bolton’s book will be timed to have an impact, because that timing will maximize sales and free pundit plugs, but the question is: how many votes will he sway from the R […]

Joe Biden tends to remember things that never happened

Tuesday, September 3, 2019

Back in the days of yore, before I retired, most of my legal practice was in the area of Social Security Disability. Mental impairments are graded (so to speak) on a continuum: Mild, Moderate, Marked, Extreme.  Before he was even inaugurated I diagnosed Trump’s impairment as extreme, and I think (too lazy to find the […]

No one wants what Democratic “moderates” are selling

Friday, August 16, 2019

Arriving in yesterday’s mail, a fundraising letter from Steve Bullock, the envelope emblazoned with this stirring message: I’m the only candidate who’s won a Trump state.I can beat Trump all across America! If you’ve heard of Bullock at all, you no doubt know of him as the man who should be running for the Senate […]

Hey Joe! Listen to Harry

Tuesday, August 13, 2019

The last time I checked (actually, I never checked, but I’m pretty sure I’m right) Harry Reid is even older than Joe Biden, yet Harry seems fully capable, even in his senescence, of figuring out which way the wind is blowing. He has an Op-Ed piecein this morning’s New York Times advocating for an end to […]

Utterly delusional

Friday, August 9, 2019

We can all agree that the present occupant of the White House is seriously mentally ill, and that he suffers from a mental illness that puts the rest of us at risk. But what does it say about the state of our nation that his possible (we can only hope) successor is also mentally ill, […]

Further proof that there is no god

Sunday, June 30, 2019

At least not a kind and loving one, for how could he (I know god shouldn’t be gendered, but on the other hand, I doubt any female would want to be associated with this particular god) be setting the table for the reelection of the man whose sole objective appears to be the destruction of […]

So true

Even if it’s the USS Biden, we have to get on it.

A challenge for the Democrats

Thursday, June 13, 2019

It appears that polling is looking very bad for the genius. He loses against everyone.  So, this brings us to the perennial question: How can the Democrats blow it and drive the final nail into the coffin of the American Republic? There are a number of approaches they can take. They can nominate a candidate who […]

Who could have guessed that Biden would be uninspiring?

Tuesday, May 28, 2019

Let me start by saying that I would vote for anyone with a D after his or her name in the 2020 presidential race. I desperately want us to win. In future posts, I may not so preface, but it should always be assumed. That being said, I tremble in fear at the thought of […]

Joe Biden was in a coma for eight years

Wednesday, May 15, 2019

If there were a god I would be imploring him/her to save us from this man: In New Hampshire, Joe Biden predicts that once President Trump is out of office, Republicans will have “an epiphany” and work with Democrats toward consensus. — Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) May 14, 2019 The Republicans thrive in the minority, but only […]
