No Need for Obviousman!

Friday, March 6, 2020

We don’t get Non sequitur on our comics page, so I don’t know if Obviousman is still out there, exercising his super power of pointing out the obvious, but he would certainly feel he has a rival in this federal judge: A federal judge on Thursday sharply criticized Attorney General William P. Barr’s handling of the report by […]

The Turley Defense

Saturday, December 7, 2019

Jonathan Turley, who I used to think was a perfectly reasonable guy when I saw him on the Keith Olbermann show, proffered a Trump defense to the House of Representatives that was, in a word, risible (risible is a word I learned from Monty Python). Now, unlike many, I think Turley was both wrong and (maybe) right. […]

Is this a Quid Pro Quo I see?

Thursday, October 31, 2019

It’s not illegal I guess, because it’s a Republican doing it, but I’d be willing to bet that the sainted Founding Fathers would consider it an impeachable offense: Donald Trump is showering potential jurors with campaign cash ahead of a possible Senate impeachment trial. As Politico reported on Wednesday, Trump is “rewarding senators who have his […]

Don’t hold your breath

Tuesday, October 8, 2019

According to Vanity Fair, Mitt Romney is secretly plotting to lead the Republican pro-conviction forces in the Senate. (Fun fact: the Senate doesn’t impeach, it convicts): According to people close to Romney, he’s firmly decided against primarying Trump, an enterprise he believes to be a sure loser given Trump’s enduring GOP support. Romney has also told […]

Mike Pence doesn’t know a thing about all that Ukrainian Stuff. Rachel begs to differ. Shorter Mike Pence:

You can’t get much more impeachable than this

Friday, April 12, 2019

When the genius first moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue I stated my intention of making note of each impeachable offense as it occurred. This proved impossible, since at the time I was a working person and couldn’t possibly keep up. My intentions were good. The spirit was willing, etc. Anyway, it is only right and […]

Gaming impeachment

Friday, January 18, 2019

It seems like years ago that a new Congresswoman (was it coincidental she was a person of color) was savaged for saying that Individual-1 should be impeached. Given the disclosures of the past few days, and the near certainty that even more will come out in the near future, it has now become respectable for […]

To impeach or not impeach

Tuesday, January 15, 2019

There’s been a lot more serious talk about impeachment lately, which makes sense, since there’s been a lot more evidence to support it, though some of that evidence, it seems to me, was a matter of public record before, but we’re revisiting the implications. For instance, I believe it was known before that Trump confiscated […]

A few thoughts on the future of the criminal in chief

Saturday, December 15, 2018

Now that Trump has been more or less accused of a crime by his own Justice Department, we must consider where we go from here. There’s been a lot of discussion about indictments, impeachments, etc., and, at times there’s talk as if Trump’s downfall is inevitable. . Things are moving fast, and I may have this all […]

The Impeachment Issue

Monday, September 3, 2018

There’s been a lot of back and forth lately about whether Democrats should campaign on impeachment this fall. It’s something the media brings up quite a bit, implying as they do that Democrats can’t stop talking about it. Democratic consultants meanwhile, are urging Democrats to stay away from it and concentrate solely on economic issues. […]
