Just got through listening to them announce the verdict in the Trump trial. It brought this old Doonesbury cartoon to mind. Of course, back in those days there was no chance the Supreme Court would find a way to overturn what are obviously correct verdicts.

Oh Ye of Too Much Faith

Thursday, May 27, 2021

There may be something to the “Ivory Tower” thing: Dozens of legal scholars have come together for a new letter to congressional leaders detailing why "there is no constitutional barrier" to D.C. statehood legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last month and federal lawmakers should not avoid establishing a 51st state "because 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. […]

We’ve seen this before

Apparently there is a survey our there making the case that Trump is behind in the polls because his supporters are ever so shy about disclosing their preferences to telephone pollsters. I think it is well debunked at the linked article, but I think it should also be pointed out that this may be one […]

This should come as no surprise: In an apparent effort to make his daily news conferences even more like campaign events than they already are, the White House press office has been packing the briefing room with supporters of President Donald Trump from far-right media outlets who can be relied on to toss him softball […]

Thanks for the memories, internet

Thursday, August 20, 2020

One of the things about the Trump regime is that there are so many atrocities that any particular atrocity is down the memory hole in no time. I may have mentioned that I try to document those atrocities day by day in a journal I keep, but it only skims the surface. By the way, […]

Bruce chips in for Biden

Tuesday, August 18, 2020

My wife sent me a link to this video, which I thought was great. One of the things that Republicans are good at is hitting Democrats in their strong spots and making many of them believe that they have to back away from a source of strength.

There’s an endless supply of Republican dupes

Tuesday, May 5, 2020

Over at the Palmer report, they’ve noted that Trump just emitted a tweet in which he essentially admitted that he engages in “pump and dump”; that is, he uses people for his own ends then throws them under the bus when they are no longer of use. Even the Mooch has reacted to the tweet. […]

We could use this here

The British Labour Party suffers from some of the same defects as its American cousin, the Democrats. There is a cadre of right wing alleged Labourites holding it back, and it is easily intimidated by right wing bullshit. But they’re not all like that. I saw this video on Crooks & Liars and I felt I had […]
