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

Saturday, January 13, 2024

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

Thursday, January 4, 2024

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

Saturday, December 16, 2023

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!

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 […]
