Yet another shocked enabler

Wednesday, October 6, 2021

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 […]

A Must (not) read

Tuesday, September 28, 2021

Apparently, writing tell all books about the disaster that was the Former Guy is quite the cottage industry. Latest practitioner is Stephanie Grisham, herself a disaster as press secretary, at which job she held precisely 0 press conferences in the course of about nine months at the job, leaving only in the middle of an […]

Democrats being meanies!

Friday, August 27, 2021

I was well and truly shocked by this: Texas’s Speaker of the House warned representatives in the Texas State House on Thursday night not to use the word “racism” when debating the Republicans’ voter suppression bill.. Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican, started debate on the bill by saying “the chair would appreciate members not using […]

Matt Gaetz, Man of Principle

Friday, April 9, 2021

Matt Gaetz has been in the news a lot lately, in case you hadn’t noticed. Even if you have, you may not have noticed that no one (until now) has given him credit for being a Republican who has principles. You may think that’s a contradiction in terms, but in Gaetz’s case, it isn’t! Think […]

Republicans lament: no fair calling us Republicans

Saturday, January 23, 2021

Pity the poor blogger, when fate deals him a hand that he cannot win. This article in the New London Day presents a challenge that requires a Mark Twain, or, at the very least, a Driftglass to come up with just the right nouns, verbs and especially adjectives to properly mock the Republicans of the […]

Another resistance hero?

Monday, January 18, 2021

On the first day of January of the worst year in many decades (that being 2020) I wrote a piece in which I made a number of predictions. Here’s one paragraph that came to mind recently: The Republicans, in alliance with Fox News, will suddenly declare that the president is subject to the rule of […]

Hypocrisy in America

Monday, November 30, 2020

It’s hardly news that modern day Republicans are hypocrites of the first order. Here’s the latest example-actually probably not the latest as it’s some hours old, but it’s illustrative: Republicans have now decided the tax returns of nominees and people in power matter, as they want to scrutinize Biden’s nominees. Outgoing Senate Finance Chairman Sen. […]

Projection much?

Thursday, November 19, 2020

Just passing along yet another instance of Republicans doing what they are accusing others of doing: Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley has frequently railed against “coastal elites” in speeches. Last year, he sponsored legislation that would relocate thousands of federal workers from Washington to economically distressed areas in the heartland. But a review of property records […]

Mutual Aid Society

Thursday, October 29, 2020

While reading this article, which relates Susan Collins’ firmly held belief that Roe v Wade is absolutely secure, it brought to mind a theory that I’ve been mulling over. Lisa Murkowski voted for Barrett, despite the fact that, if anything, she makes Kavanaugh, who Murkowski opposed, look like a liberal legal titan in comparison. Collins […]

Holy Hypocrites!

Tuesday, September 1, 2020

I sometimes wonder if there are any actually religious religious people out there. They appear to be nothing but grifters from top to bottom. Latest, but by no means principal exhibit, this guy: The officiant of a now-infamous wedding in Millinocket gave a defiant sermon during an indoor church service on Sunday, just a day […]
