Fox Nation Folks Dying

Thursday, April 9, 2020

Entirely predictable. The virus is setting down roots in Trump country. I guess, among other things, these folks are still going to diners, where, as the New York Times can tell you, all the customers are Trumpers. While the number of cases and deaths related to coronavirus in Martin County is fairly low (34 cases and 4 […]

It’s easy to see when they’re afraid

Tuesday, September 24, 2019

It’s easy to see when the right wing is afraid of someone. They start engaging in hysterical attacks. We saw it with AOC, we’ve seen it with Elizabeth Warren, and we haven’t seen it with Joe Biden. I’m not talking about digging up dirt, I’m talking about crazy.  So all hail Greta Thunberg, who has […]

Told you so

Friday, February 8, 2019

Almost two weeks ago (ages in Trump time), I observed that although Trump’s followers would never admit they were scammed, they’d be more than willing to admit that they’ve been betrayed. Betrayal is, of course, exactly what happens to you after you’ve been conned, but it’s easy to talk yourself into believing there’s a distinction, […]

We haven’t been conned, we’ve been betrayed

Sunday, January 27, 2019

There’s an oft repeated trope in the left wing blogosphere that, to the right, conservatism can never fail, it can only be failed. I’d like to suggest a sort of corollary.  In the past few days a number of right wing loonies have attacked Trump’s cave on his wall. Ann Coulter is, yet again, one of […]

How do these idiots rise to the surface?

Monday, December 17, 2018

Okay, I guess if you run a propaganda network, you’ll give a forum to anyone. Here’s a person who has a columnin the New York Post, who’s invited on to Fox to talk about his suggestion that Trump supporters pay for the wall by starting a GoFundMe campaign: Trump surrogates in the conservative media are so […]

A blogger’s woes in the era of the Very Stable Genius

Friday, October 26, 2018

Back in the long ago days when we spent our time blogging about the loathsome Joe Lieberman, GWB, and the rest of them, you could normally wait until the evening to post some words of wisdom about the current state of affairs. Things are moving way to fast these days, and unless you are constantly […]

Only the Trump Administration could make Iran look good

Wednesday, September 12, 2018

I am not partial to theocracies, no matter the creed pushed by the state in question. So I have no use for Iran. But I’m a fair minded guy, and even I can see when the Iranians have right on their side. Consider this one of the Trump Administration’s most awesome feats. They have managed to […]

She’s not crazy, she’s a Republican

Monday, August 20, 2018

There was a time when this person would, without a doubt, have been the craziest person running for office in the entire country. A frontrunner in the Republican primaries for a key midterm race says she was abducted by aliens as a child—and it doesn’t seem to have hurt her prospects. Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, an […]

Pity the Onion, part 2

Thursday, June 21, 2018

Okay, when I first saw this article, I thought the good folks at Crooks & Liars had been taken in. Could Melania Trump really have worn this jacket when she went to visit little children in the concentration camps:   It seemed obviously photoshopped, and so absurd that even the Onion would never have gone there. […]

Can Fox meet the challenge?

Monday, February 5, 2018

As I write this, the story at this link reflects a 1.36% decline in the stock market so far today, on top of Friday’s record sell off. Is Fox up to the challenge? They’ve been touting the market’s rise since Obama left office as proof of Trump’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious presidentiality. Now they have to do a […]
