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 […]

If they accuse us of doing something, that means they are doing it

Tuesday, December 28, 2021

Basically just passing this along, though I’m willing to bet it will get no notice from the mainstream press. Rand Paul emitted this tweet: “How to steal an election: ‘Seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally […]

People who will never be president, part 1

Tuesday, December 14, 2021

The reigning king in this category is definitely Chris Christie, and if it wasn’t for the fact that the alternatives on the Republican side are all – and this should be unbelievable – even worse, that would be a great thing. It’s still a good thing, by the way. Christie is trying to walk a […]

It’s contagious!

Saturday, November 27, 2021

I thought this kind of crazy was confined to Republicans here in the States, but apparently it’s as contagious as the latest COVID variant: A British member of Parliament claimed this week that men are being forced into committing crimes because fictional male characters like James Bond and Doctor Who are being replaced by women. […]

Some things won’t fit in a memory hole

Monday, November 22, 2021

At the dawn of 2020 I made some predictions about the coming year. Some of them have stood the test of time, others have come true, but not in the way I predicted. For instance I predicted that Chuck Shumer and Joe Biden would preserve the filibuster. I didn’t see Joe and Krysten coming. On […]

An easy prediction

Friday, November 12, 2021

The Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill, a piece of legislation that would have been considered uncontroversial 20 or 30 years ago and at any time in any sane country, are receiving death threats, said death threats being encouraged by their fellow Republicans in Congress. Liz Cheney has been vocal about the need to […]

A tale of bumbling fraudsters

Monday, September 27, 2021

Well, honestly, this is something I did not see coming. It seems the “auditors” in Arizona have determined that Joe Biden did in fact win the electoral votes of that state, and that, in fact, he got 360 more votes than the official tally gave him. I should add that while I used the term […]

How to win elections if you’re a Republican

Monday, August 9, 2021

By all accounts, Ron DeSantis is committed to killing as many Floridians as necessary to advance his own political fortunes. The only conclusion one can draw from his behavior is that he firmly believes that those fortunes will be enhanced if he is a national leader in openly and devoutly doing all the wrong things […]
