There’s only one issue

Thursday, February 20, 2020

I’m not a Michael Bloomberg fan, though I’ll vote for him if need be, but I give him credit for one thing. He seems, more than any of the other candidates, to understand that the central issue in this election is Donald Trump. Sure, better medical coverage, anti-trust enforcement, Green New Deals, are worth talking […]

Another blast from the past

Monday, February 10, 2020

I’ve mentioned before that I keep a diary on my Ipad, in which I’ve tried, along with my own pathetically dull life, to chronicle the day to day developments related to the Orange menace. Four years ago the New Hampshire primary had just taken place, and I wrote this: In other news, there’s no other […]

Oh, Please dear god that doesn’t exist, grant my prayer!

Monday, February 3, 2020

Ask my better half, this has been one of my fantasies, and now it may come true: Two Swedish lawmakers have nominated 17-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize. According to the Associated Press, Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling—members of Sweden’s Left Party—argue that Thunberg’s pursuit of climate change legislation on a global […]

Looking on the bright side

Sunday, January 19, 2020

There aren’t many things to be thankful for in the current political situation, but one is that we have a right wing president who has managed to alienate the military, which tends to be…you know…right wing. The recently publicized excerpt from the upcoming book Very Stable Genius gives us reason to hope that, should the […]

There’s something (else) happening here

Wednesday, January 15, 2020

The stuff that has come out from Lev Parnas’s phone leads, in my humble opinion, to the ineluctable conclusion that there was something else afoot in Ukraine, other than digging up dirt on Biden. Perhaps it’s a good idea to fall back on a tried and true Trumpian rule: whenever he accuses anyone else of […]

In case you missed it

Tuesday, January 7, 2020

I have mentioned before that I keep a diary on my Ipad, which automatically shows me entries from the same date in past years. I think I’ve also mentioned that I try to note the latest doings in the world of the very stable genius.  I didn’t get to it until late last night, so […]

Yet another stupidity defense

Tuesday, December 3, 2019

I was just checking in at Crooks & Liars, and ran across this post, in which I learn that a Fox News host, Steve Hilton, of whose existence I had no prior knowledge (I do so thank the non-existent god that I don’t own a TV), is urging Trump to stuff not only Giuliani under […]

Really, there was no need to rush

Friday, November 15, 2019

There’s an excellent article at Talking Points Memo which purports to explain: what the rush of activity was to get Vladimir Zelensky to kick off and publicly announce these investigations. After all, during the key events the US election was well over a year away. The article is well worth reading,and I guess in one sense there was some […]

Nothing much to see here!

Friday, November 8, 2019

Here’s another one for the What if Obama (or Hillary) had Done it? file. A state judge ordered President Trump to pay $2 million in damages to nonprofit groups on Thursday after the president admitted misusing money raised by the Donald J. Trump Foundation to promote his presidential bid, pay off business debts and purchase a portrait of himself […]

An Unsung World Series Hero

Tuesday, October 29, 2019

On Sunday, at the World Series, a host of patriots greeted the the very stable genius with a chorus of boos, followed by a well deserved “Lock Him Up!” chant. For one of the very first time in his “presidency” the monster had to come face to face with a reality he has previously avoided […]
