Proof positive. He really is stupid

Monday, September 14, 2020

These are hard times for part time bloggers like me. There’s an outrage an hour, but, for the most part, there’s nothing new to say about any given outrage, and how many times can you make the inevitable observation that had Obama committed said outrage it’s shelf life in the mainstream would have been longer […]

Trump admits guilt

Tuesday, August 25, 2020

One thing that’s little remarked among the punditry, perhaps because it’s so hard to make a both siderist case about it, is the Republican habit of projection. If they’re doing it, they’re loudly accusing the Democrats of doing it. They even had the chutzpah to claim that the Democrats were trying to destroy Medicare. They […]

I miss the good old days

Saturday, August 15, 2020

I am now in the midst of my 71st summer, which would be a depressing thought even if there were no pandemic and/or the White House was not occupied by a blithering idiot. But there are advantages to everything, and in this case my march toward senility gives me the right to pontificate about how […]

A valuable resource

Friday, August 7, 2020

I should probably tweet this, inasmuch as I am really only passing along a link. McSweeney’s has provided a valuable service. A day by day accounting of the atrocities, since Trump became president, with some preliminary atrocities included for good measure. My guess is that it’s not exhaustive; that would be impossible, and there’s lots […]

The Times edges toward saying the obvious

Wednesday, July 15, 2020

It has long been obvious to the casual, somewhat informed, halfway intelligent observer that the very stable genius is, in fact, a very unstable, seriously mentally ill individual, possibly mixed with a heaping helping of incipient senility. For purposes of this piece I’m going to assume it has been even more obvious to the New […]

If you made this up people would think you were crazy

Monday, July 13, 2020

Many years ago Tom Tomorrow inked a good cartoon, in which he posited that George W., Dick Cheney, et. al., were a bunch of leftists who figured they could destroy the Republican Party from within by governing in a manner so obviously bad that people would turn en masse to the Democrats. What brings this […]

Am I missing something?

Wednesday, July 1, 2020

This has me wondering: Washington Post reporter Robert Costa says that things are so bad for Trump’s reelection hopes, they’re hoping Clarence Thomas resigns and gives them a Supreme Court nomination to run on. Joe Scarborough was discussing just how dire things look for the Trump team, especially with the Supreme Court. “Well, to that […]

Logic Puzzle

Monday, June 29, 2020

The fact that the Russians offered the Taliban bounties on the lives of American and other soldiers has now been confirmed by multiple news outlets (including Fox!) and the British government. Today, this happened: During today’s press briefing Trump’s outgoing press secretary was asked if Trump had a message to Moscow about Russia’s bounty program. […]

Trump’s people issue a challenge

Friday, June 19, 2020

I haven’t seen reference to this anywhere else, but as I’ve written before, though I won’t bank on the conclusions the Palmer Report draws from the facts, it usually presents actual facts: So now the Trump campaign is trying the bizarre desperate last ditch move of demanding that Joe Biden agree to more than the […]
