The genius plots strategy

Friday, March 29, 2019

Trump is apparently planning to campaign in 2020 by trumpeting the Barr letter, which no one other than the brain dead (fortunately still not a majority in the country) accepts as valid. A reliable barometer of Trump’s moods, Giuliani offered a glimpse into the future. Mueller might be done with his investigation, but Trump and company are […]

You can stop if you’ve read this same rant elsewhere

Monday, March 25, 2019

I realize that everything I’m about to say has been said ad nauseum, but inasmuch as this is my blog and no one has to read it if they don’t want, I will proceed to vent. First, lets stipulate that when people read newspapers, they often just scan the headlines, or read the first couple […]

What if Obama had done this, part (insert high number here)

Monday, March 11, 2019

As Driftglass is wont to say, “it’s a funny old world”.  As all of the internet knows, the genius recently referred to Apple CEO Tim Cook as “Tim Apple”. He is now busily lying about the fact, first claiming he said “Tim Cook of Apple”, a lie even his corrupt donors couldn’t swallow. Then he changed his […]

Told you so

Friday, February 8, 2019

Almost two weeks ago (ages in Trump time), I observed that although Trump’s followers would never admit they were scammed, they’d be more than willing to admit that they’ve been betrayed. Betrayal is, of course, exactly what happens to you after you’ve been conned, but it’s easy to talk yourself into believing there’s a distinction, […]

He ain’t leaving

Thursday, February 7, 2019

Here’s an article titled SNDY May Soon Indict Trump’s Kids to Force Him Out of Office.  I’m not disagreeing that there’s a real possibility that Erik and Don, Jr., even (oh please God!) Ivanka, will soon be indicted. I just don’t buy into the “force him out of office” logic. We all know enough about Trump […]

Count your blessings, always look on the bright side of life, and every time it rains it rains pennies from heaven

Monday, February 4, 2019

The fact that Trump spends all his time watching television instead of working is once again in the news.  What I can’t understand is that people seem to think it’s a bad thing that the genius spends so little time presiding. As I’ve pointed out every Good Friday since this blog started, one should always look on […]

We haven’t been conned, we’ve been betrayed

Sunday, January 27, 2019

There’s an oft repeated trope in the left wing blogosphere that, to the right, conservatism can never fail, it can only be failed. I’d like to suggest a sort of corollary.  In the past few days a number of right wing loonies have attacked Trump’s cave on his wall. Ann Coulter is, yet again, one of […]

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 […]

Some speculation

Tuesday, January 8, 2019

I’ve been thinking a bit about Individual-1’s threats to declare a national emergency so he can build his wall. I’m not 100% wedded to this idea, but It occurs to me that it is a way for him to declare victory while essentially preserving the status quo. The reality is that any such declaration would […]

An anniversary

Sunday, January 6, 2019

Another snippet from my journal. One year ago today Individual-1 pronounced himself a “very stable genius”. It seems so long ago.
