A New Speaker!

Wednesday, October 25, 2023

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

Thursday, October 19, 2023

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

Wednesday, October 4, 2023

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 […]

Impeach him!

Wednesday, September 6, 2023

From what I’ve been reading, I understand that poor Kevin McCarthy is in a quandry. You might say he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. He knows that holding the economy hostage at the behest of the crazies in his caucus is a losing proposition for the Republican Party. He also knows that […]

Book review

Monday, August 28, 2023

A few weeks ago one of my few (only?) remaining readers sent me an email after reading this post, in which I pointed out that yet another example of Never-Trumpers ignoring history, and pretending that the decline of the Republican Party began only when Trump descended that escalator. He suggested I read Profiles in Ignorance, […]

New Front runner (if you disregard Trump)

Friday, August 25, 2023

Vivek Ramaswamy He’s the guy who will get the Republican nomination if Trump doesn’t. Like just about everyone else in America I never heard of the guy until recently, and up until today I simply classified him as a Republican rich guy with a big ego, but after Wednesday’s debate, and reading this article at […]

Every allegation is a confession, part 1000

Monday, July 17, 2023

There’s probably not a single liberal type blogger who hasn’t commented about the fact that every time a Republican accuses a Democrat, or Democrats, of something heinous, it is a sure bet that it is something Republicans are already doing or planning to do. I suppose it’s possible that someone in the mainstream media, possibly […]

Are the Republicans flailing?

Wednesday, July 12, 2023

I’ve been reading a lot about the efforts Republicans are making to smear Joe Biden. You know, with “credible” whistleblowers that just got indicted for spying for China, etc. My overall impression is that they’re not getting much traction, even with a media that is usually anxious to prove it’s impartiality by hyperventilating over stories […]

Too stupid to be president? Not if you’re a Republican.

Thursday, June 8, 2023

It seems like every Republican that has announced his or her candidacy for the presidency immediately finds a way to say something that proves beyond doubt that he or she is far too stupid to be president, or, is pretending to be far too stupid to be president, because you can’t get the Republican nomination […]

Republicans in disarray

Sunday, June 4, 2023

The Democrats in Disarray! trope has been a favorite of the mainstream media for some time now. There are a lot of reasons they have pounded on it, often manufacturing the disarray in order, for instance, to prove their evenhandedness for, after all, both sides!. It will be interesting to see if we’ll be hearing […]
