They can only preach to the choir

I’ve written a number of posts about the Democrat’s seeming inability to grab control of the narrative. They always seem to be on the defensive and rarely, if ever, speak in unison, unlike the Republicans who will come up with a line of attack which is repeated endlessly and by practically all of them. One […]

Good day, yesterday

So, the Democrat won convincingly in New York yesterday, cutting the Republicans’ razor thin majority in the House down even more. It was supposed to be close, but wasn’t. 2022 was supposed to be a Republican wave, but wasn’t. In fact, it appears to be the case that Democrats have outperformed the polls quite a […]

Grifters Gotta Grift

Couldn’t resist passing this along. It truly is the case than on multiple levels the Republican Party is just a massive grift. After all, the business plan is to get Fox-addled minds to cast votes against their best interest so the Republicans can deliver for their real constituency, the selfish rich, by sucking money from […]

New Hampshire speaks

…and now everyone can argue about what they said. I think it’s fair to say that reactions to yesterday’s vote are all over the map, often depending on the spin one wants to put on things. Trump won, though I understand that in terms of delegates to the convention, he came away with a small […]

If they accuse others you know they’re doing it themselves

I am certainly not the first to make the observation encapsulated in the title of this post. If a Republican accuses a Democrat, or Democrats generally, of certain behaviors, it is almost a given that said Republican is doing those things. I thought I’d pass the latest one along, as it is happening in our […]

On this day (actually on yesterday) in Trump history

I keep a sort of journal, usually only a few paragraphs a day. No Thoreau or Pepys am I, but during the Trump years I usually put in something about whatever idiotic thing the stable genius did on that particular day. The journal is on my Ipad, and it has an “On This Day” feature […]

Bring it on

So, the Republicans have initiated the impeachment process, all of them voting to do so, despite the fact that they have no evidence of wrongdoing. All the so-called “moderate” Republicans went along with it, though you can bet whatever part of your body you like that they did so unwillingly, but they all feel the […]

A New Speaker!

It appears we have a new speaker, who is every bit as loathsome as Jim Jordan. Apparently the GOP “moderates” are fine with voting for a racist insurrectionist as long as everyone isn’t already aware that he’s a racist insurrectionist. We will soon find out if he’s a fan of blowing up the economy, and […]

Where do we go from here

Like a lot of other Democrats I’ve gotten a kick out of watching the Republicans flail around trying to pick a successor to the hapless McCarthy. There has probably never been anyone seriously considered for Speaker of the House as unqualified as Gym Jordan in the entire history of this country. He, along with so […]

Just a thought

Now that Matt Gaetz has brought down Kevin McCarthy, there’s a bunch of Republicans in Congress that want to bring down Matt Gaetz, by expelling him. I’m sure Bill Palmer over at the Palmer Report is likely right when he says that “[i]t’s a given that all House Democrats would vote yes” for such an […]
