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, […]

Have we really come to this?

Sunday, August 7, 2022

I ran across this today. Nikki Haley is thinking of running for president, and if she does she intends to concentrate on the threat posed by transgender people. In a way, this is a sign that the Republicans are running out of people to openly hate, which I suppose tells us something somewhat good about […]

Chapter Infinity in IOKYAR

Sunday, May 8, 2022

You really truly couldn’t make this stuff up, this being just a quick update of it’s okay if you’re a Republican. It’s okay to commit voter fraud if you’re a Republican. Seems like one Billy Lanzilottie, a “23-year-old GOP operative, South Philadelphia ward leader, and chairman of the Republican Registration Coalition” arranged to have more […]

Both sides are equally bad! Republican edition

Wednesday, April 20, 2022

Every once in a while you read about one or more Republicans doing the right thing and you get sort of stunned. But then, if you look closer your faith in the party of fascism is fully restored. If they do something right, it will always be for all the wrong reasons. Case in point, […]

True to form

Tuesday, March 22, 2022

One of the many failings of the mainstream media is its failure to point out that it’s a sure bet that if Republicans are accusing Democrats of something, they are either doing that very thing themselves or planning on doing so. Here’s the latest example I’ve come across: In his opening remarks at Judge Ketanji […]

Some like them stupid

Wednesday, February 2, 2022

This article got me thinking about a theory that’s been percolating in the back of my head for a while. Here’s the meat of it: Rep. Chip Roy, a Texas Republican, has twice in the past three days promoted a fictional online rumor that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fled to the United States because […]

Let me explain something, Mitt

Wednesday, January 12, 2022

I suppose there are people in the press corps that will take this seriously, but does anybody else who is politically aware? Mitt Romney warns of the dire consequences of getting rid of the filibuster: “The United States Senate is one of our vital democratic institutions, and the power given to the minority in the […]
