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 […]

Most of us won’t get fooled again

Tuesday, June 2, 2020

Abraham Lincoln was mostly right when he remarked that you can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people, all of the time. In truth you can never fool all of the people even sometimes, but more importantly, […]

C’mon Donald, You’re not supposed to say this out loud

Thursday, May 21, 2020

Gosh, the very stable genius just let a cat out of a bag, not that anyone hadn’t heard the cat mewling away in there. I mean, I thought Republicans were supposed to pretend that Fox is just another television network with a bunch of straight shooters, but here’s the genius tweeting us differently: Many will […]

Crazy man on the loose and no one notices

Tuesday, May 12, 2020

This article about the press’s insistence on covering demonstrations by the right at which “more than a dozen” protestors show up, against a history of minimizing or ignoring anti-war demonstrations drawing 10s of thousands of people, got me thinking about another eternal media mystery. Why does the media insist on hardly noticing Trump’s ever increasing […]

Time to shift the blame

Wednesday, May 6, 2020

We’ve all heard about the fact that the White House is sitting on numbers indicating that the pandemic will be getting worse over the next several weeks. Which would ordinarily make you wonder about this: The White House confirmed today that the Mike Pence-led coronavirus task force charged with leading this nation’s pandemic response will […]

You can’t joke about the genius

Saturday, May 2, 2020

So this afternoon my wife saw on her twitter feed that Al Franken had said this: Another piece of advice from the President: Trump suggested today that Americans wash their hands with boiling water. When asked to comment, Dr. Birx said, “the President was just spitballing.” — Al Franken (@alfranken) May 1, 2020 It turns […]
