Another compendium, the dementia edition

Thursday, October 16, 2025

A while ago I started a post in which I intended to tally each act of open corruption in which Trump or his henchmen engaged. I admit I’ve fallen down on the job, as there have been plenty since my last update, but I’m hoping to get back to work on it. This post is […]

Windmills

Tuesday, August 26, 2025

A big issue here in the New London area is Trump’s recent decision to order a stoppage to work on a wind farm that has become a major part of the local economy. What interests me is the fact that, at least from what I’ve seen, both the media and politicians opposed to the stoppage […]

Another prediction

Wednesday, August 13, 2025

Sort of a follow up to some previous posts in which I predicted that the Trump people would start releasing fake numbers to claim that the economy was doing well. Here’s a report about the unqualified guy who Trump just picked to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics: E.J. Antoni, the economist tapped by President […]

All in Plain sight

Friday, August 1, 2025

Back in early May I predicted that the fascists would soon start releasing fake financial numbers and a few weeks later I noted that Paul Krugman had followed suit. It was only a matter of time, and now the time has come: President Trump ordered his administration to fire the commissioner of labor statistics, Erika […]

Flummoxed, once again

Wednesday, July 23, 2025

I can’t help wondering if just possibly the people running this country don’t know what they’re doing. The Trumpers, including the genius himself, have done their best to keep the Epstein stuff in the news and now it looks like they’re thinking of letting the country hear once again about how the Russians helped Trump […]

Two criminals going after one another

Sunday, June 8, 2025

Everyone (well, everyone who counts) is getting a kick out of the end of the Trump/Musk bromance, though who knows how it will all end up. It was likely that there’d be at least a temporary parting of the ways, since they each have outsize egos, but you have to wonder if there will eventually […]

No one has topped Trump on this score

Monday, April 14, 2025

While perusing this article yesterday I once again started thinking about yet another Trump record breaker. The article lists the bribes paid to Trump by various tech folks, in return for which he just exempted their products from tariffs, though he is apparently now claiming that the tariffs were never placed in the first place. […]

Still a genius!

Thursday, February 20, 2025

I realize that documenting the inanities is getting tiresome, but here’s one that really struck me: REPORTER: Doge and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the Federal Aviation Administration and the Defense Department agencies that have billions of dollars in contracts with Musk’s companies or that directly regulate his companies. How is that not […]

The dictator(s) steps up

Thursday, February 6, 2025

I just read that Trump has signed an executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s and girl’s sports. It goes without saying that there is no legal basis for such an order. It is possible that a state legislature and/or Congress could pass a bill that would pass constitutional muster but any reasonable court would […]

The lesser of two evils

Monday, February 3, 2025

One of the bloggers over at the Palmer Report has pleaded for an invocation of the 25th Amendment to get rid of Trump. Now, I agree that in a sane world it would be the right thing to do, but this is not a sane world, or at least a sane country. First of all, […]
