Which is it? Stupidity or criminal arrogance.?

Thursday, October 29, 2020

Stories like this merely make me curl further into a fetal position as November 3rd approaches. Jared Kushner, the son-in-law and senior adviser of President Donald Trump, privately bragged to journalist Bob Woodward in April about the president’s decision to shun the advice and opinions of health experts, just as the death rate from the […]

We’ve seen this before

Sunday, August 30, 2020

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 […]

Sounds familiar

Thursday, July 16, 2020

Yet another sign of hope, assuming of course that they can’t steal the election: Brian Kilmeade gave hope to worried Trump supporters. “But of people who believe that Donald Trump will be successful they talk about a secret vote, the underground vote because if you wear are a red hat or bumper sticker on your […]

Am I missing something?

Wednesday, July 1, 2020

This has me wondering: Washington Post reporter Robert Costa says that things are so bad for Trump’s reelection hopes, they’re hoping Clarence Thomas resigns and gives them a Supreme Court nomination to run on. Joe Scarborough was discussing just how dire things look for the Trump team, especially with the Supreme Court. “Well, to that […]

Trump’s people issue a challenge

Friday, June 19, 2020

I haven’t seen reference to this anywhere else, but as I’ve written before, though I won’t bank on the conclusions the Palmer Report draws from the facts, it usually presents actual facts: So now the Trump campaign is trying the bizarre desperate last ditch move of demanding that Joe Biden agree to more than the […]

It’s not easy to fall in love

Wednesday, March 4, 2020

Linda Ronstadt was wrong, it’s not easy to fall in love. At least not when the person you have to fall in love with is Joe Biden. This is a fate I predicted would befall me, but still it is hard work (I just hope the rest of the predictions-for this year anyway-pan out) . The […]

I beg to differ

Thursday, September 12, 2019

Lawrence O’Donnell thinks that John Bolton’s inevitable book could have a significant impact on the 2020 election. I beg to differ. I certainly agree that Bolton’s book will be timed to have an impact, because that timing will maximize sales and free pundit plugs, but the question is: how many votes will he sway from the R […]

Joe Biden tends to remember things that never happened

Tuesday, September 3, 2019

Back in the days of yore, before I retired, most of my legal practice was in the area of Social Security Disability. Mental impairments are graded (so to speak) on a continuum: Mild, Moderate, Marked, Extreme.  Before he was even inaugurated I diagnosed Trump’s impairment as extreme, and I think (too lazy to find the […]

No one wants what Democratic “moderates” are selling

Friday, August 16, 2019

Arriving in yesterday’s mail, a fundraising letter from Steve Bullock, the envelope emblazoned with this stirring message: I’m the only candidate who’s won a Trump state.I can beat Trump all across America! If you’ve heard of Bullock at all, you no doubt know of him as the man who should be running for the Senate […]

Hey Joe! Listen to Harry

Tuesday, August 13, 2019

The last time I checked (actually, I never checked, but I’m pretty sure I’m right) Harry Reid is even older than Joe Biden, yet Harry seems fully capable, even in his senescence, of figuring out which way the wind is blowing. He has an Op-Ed piecein this morning’s New York Times advocating for an end to […]
