January 6th transcripts, John Eastman

Monday, December 26, 2022

Much to my surprise I have gotten through the second transcript recently released by the January 6th committee. This is an easy one. It was the deposition of John Eastman, the lawyer who came up with the bullshit theory that the Vice President could throw out the electoral votes of any state he chose in […]

It’s always okay if you’re a Republican

Friday, December 23, 2022

Ever since I started blogging, which was many moons ago, bloggers on our side of the fence have used the acronym IOKYAR to refer to what has become almost a legal rule in this country. It’s simply okay to transgress moral or legal norms if you’re a Republican. It is particularly okay so far as […]

Does she contradict herself?

Tuesday, December 13, 2022

It’s not exactly an original observation, inasmuch as Republican irrationality is nothing new, but this one really struck me. It seems that Ronna McDaniel wants to know why Republicans are not voting for every single Republican, no matter how half assed or fascistic, or both, that a given candidate may be, as we find when […]

I’m on Mastodon

Tuesday, November 29, 2022

I’ve never been much of a Twitter user, and I very much welcome its possible demise as a result of the Elon Musk wrecking ball. I haven’t gotten around to terminating my account, since I’m a very lazy person, and they likely make it as hard as possible, but I have signed up for the […]

A transatlantic myth

Sunday, November 27, 2022

I ran across this article in my news feed today. It’s from the British newspaper, the Guardian. The title is what drew me to read it: Competence, what competence? Tory chancellors like Jeremy Hunt always spell disaster British politics are a lot like US Politics these days, with the Tory party becoming more and more […]

A Republican with Principles! (An oxymoron, I know)

Tuesday, November 22, 2022

Who says that our fascist overlord wannabes have no principles? Well, I’ve probably said it, but look, there are definitely exceptions, and I firmly believe all the other election denial liars should follow this Arizona woman’s principled example: Liz Harris, recently elected to represent Legislative District 13, issued a statement on her campaign website saying, […]

Looking ahead to a Republican House Majority

Sunday, November 20, 2022

I have read in multiple places that the Fascist Party has promised to spend the next two years avoiding doing anything that might benefit the citizenry, while engaging in fake investigations of Biden, his son Hunter, and even of Dr. Fauci. The hypocrisy is of course, mind-numbing, given that they will also shut down Congressional […]

More stuff you couldn’t make up

Thursday, October 20, 2022

I remember a time when you would not expect this sort of thing even from the folks down in Texas: TODAY is reporting that Texas is sending DNA kits to families to identify their children “in case of an emergency.” Harking back to the title of this post, would anyone really believe a work of […]

Climate deniers line up for disaster money they vote against

Sunday, October 2, 2022

It is, of course, no surprise to learn that Ron DeSantis, along with a huge majority of Republican Congresspersons and Senators, opposed financial aid to the Northeast when it was hit by hurricane Sandy, while voting for such aid when it was a red state that was affected. Biden, of course, and the Democrats as […]

Apparently it doesn’t take much to make a (Republican) hero

Thursday, August 18, 2022

All three of the newspapers to which we subscribe ran articles today hyping Liz Cheney, and bemoaning what her primary loss means to the Republican Party. This from the New London Day/ AP: Liz Cheney’s resounding primary defeat marks the end of an era for the Republican Party as well as her own family legacy, […]
