You can’t make this stuff up

It’s pretty much a given that if Republicans are accusing anyone of anything, they are doing that thing themselves, but I have to admit that this particular example amazed me nonetheless: The far-right Christian nationalist organization Moms for Liberty issued, then later deleted, a statement declaring support for its co-founder after her husband, the chairman […]

Everything (Republican) is the opposite of what it is, isn’t it?

Just before he died, John Lennon did an interview with Playboy, and he observed that “everything is the opposite of what it is, isn’t it?”. It may not be universally true, but it’s mostly true about anything Republicans or their fascist allies say or claim to do. Case in point is the aptly (for Republicans) […]

Every allegation is a confession, part 1000

There’s probably not a single liberal type blogger who hasn’t commented about the fact that every time a Republican accuses a Democrat, or Democrats, of something heinous, it is a sure bet that it is something Republicans are already doing or planning to do. I suppose it’s possible that someone in the mainstream media, possibly […]

Want to discriminate? Blame Jesus!

I’m sort of beating a dead horse here, but I like to think the horse was a Republican. A short while ago I asked how Clarence and his pals would explain why it’s okay for someone to refuse service to a gay couple but not an interracial one. Now we learn that the same folks […]

A trip down memory lane

The recent news about Clarence Thomas’s corruption (I assume the reader will know of what I speak, so no link) reminded me of something that happened many years ago. It seems there was a time when Republicans cared about the appearance of financial impropriety on the part of a Supreme Court justice, even when there […]

If they’re against it, they’re doing it

One thing we lefties all realize is that the best way to figure out what crimes Republicans are committing is to see what they are accusing Democrats of doing. For instance, while they accuse Democrats of stealing elections, it is Republicans that are being convicted of voter fraud and Republicans that are suppressing the vote […]

An upcoming challenge for the not so Supremes

It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court handles these cases if they make it to the highest court in the land: The ACLU is bringing a suit against Indiana’s regressive, sadistic abortion ban based on the fact that it infringes on the religious rights of anyone who doesn’t subscribe to the fantasy […]

Let me explain something, Mitt

I suppose there are people in the press corps that will take this seriously, but does anybody else who is politically aware? Mitt Romney warns of the dire consequences of getting rid of the filibuster: “The United States Senate is one of our vital democratic institutions, and the power given to the minority in the […]

Some good news

I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do, good news-wise: It’s hard to recall a former politician who was showered with more free media attention than Chris Christie this month as he peddled his new book, “Republican Rescue.” Invited to appear on a carousel of shows, Christie was all-present as journalists […]

Yet another shocked enabler

Driftglass often remarks about the fact that memory is a liberal superpower, and as with most things he says, he seems to be right. He has, of late, been quite busy exposing the Republican never-Trumpers for the hypocrites they are, as they attempt to cover up their own part in creating the fascist party that […]
