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, […]

Are they really this crazy, or just playing crazy for the press?

Tuesday, February 2, 2021

I just got finished reading this post at Crooks & Liars, and my mind is truly boggled. The post is a sort of a state by state summary of the extent to which the nutcases have taken over state and local party organizations. But this is what struck me as the craziest thing of all: […]

Republicans lament: no fair calling us Republicans

Saturday, January 23, 2021

Pity the poor blogger, when fate deals him a hand that he cannot win. This article in the New London Day presents a challenge that requires a Mark Twain, or, at the very least, a Driftglass to come up with just the right nouns, verbs and especially adjectives to properly mock the Republicans of the […]

Senatorial Follies

Saturday, January 2, 2021

The New York Times and others have reported that ten Senators have joined Hawley in pledging to vote to steal the election for Trump. The eleven are a mix of Senators with presidential ambitions and newly elected freshmen Senators. Let’s put the freshmen aside for the moment,and concentrate on the presidential aspirants. The question that […]

Sad, but likely true

I fear that Driftglass has once again hit the nail on the head.

A delicious irony

Monday, December 7, 2020

I haven’t seen this noted elsewhere, though no doubt it has. It is a somewhat delicious irony that Brian Kemp, who most assuredly stole his own election, has been rather up-front about leaking the fact that he told Trump to shove it when Trump asked for similar treatment.Trump, after all, must be aware of Kemp’s […]
