I am a horrible person

Monday, July 26, 2021

I am having such a difficult time summoning up sympathy for this asshole person: Rep. Chris Johansen, a Republican legislator from the Aroostook County town of Monticello who has been an outspoken opponent of coronavirus restrictions, has reportedly contracted COVID-19. In a recording shared by Mainer News contributor Crash Barry, a man alleged to be […]

Perplexed

Sunday, July 25, 2021

It is usually fairly easy to figure out the motivations for almost anything Republicans do. Also, as I’ve noted in the past, it’s usually easy to figure out what evil they’ve been up to by simply taking note of what they are accusing others of doing. But I confess that I’m having a bit of […]

Pence goes off the reservation

Sunday, June 27, 2021

You have to wonder if Pence has plans that might prove somewhat disruptive in 2021: During a speech at Ronald Reagan Library Thursday, former VP Mike Pence publicly broke with Traitor Trump’s unconscionable lies about so-called “voter fraud” in the 2020 election. He did that liberal thing where you remember the past accurately: “January 6 […]

Thursday, June 24, 2021

I have ranted on several occasions about the inability of Democrats to get their message across and their tendency to undermine themselves by their inept communications strategy.

Running out of demons

Monday, May 3, 2021

The Republican Party has been the party of hate since the late 60’s, when Nixon and his ilk decided they could win by pandering to Southern racists. It has worked for a while. The rules at first were that it was against the rules to be explicitly racist, but the dog whistles were clear enough. […]

Matt Gaetz, Man of Principle

Friday, April 9, 2021

Matt Gaetz has been in the news a lot lately, in case you hadn’t noticed. Even if you have, you may not have noticed that no one (until now) has given him credit for being a Republican who has principles. You may think that’s a contradiction in terms, but in Gaetz’s case, it isn’t! Think […]

The Republican Party, the eternally black pot

Thursday, March 18, 2021

If you want to know what crimes Republicans are committing, all you have to do is listen to what they are accusing others of doing: Yet another case in point: The former Florida state senator accused of masterminding and funding a sham candidate to manipulate voters last November is now facing charges of felony campaign […]

Republicans being Republicans

Thursday, March 11, 2021

I ran across this article today, in which we learn that Senator Rick Scott (Felon-Florida) is urging state governors to return any money the Feds give them as a result of the COVID-19 relief measure the Democrats just passed. The equally corrupt governor of Florida, meanwhile, has not only said he won’t take Scott’s advice, […]
