Is this a Quid Pro Quo I see?

Thursday, October 31, 2019

It’s not illegal I guess, because it’s a Republican doing it, but I’d be willing to bet that the sainted Founding Fathers would consider it an impeachable offense: Donald Trump is showering potential jurors with campaign cash ahead of a possible Senate impeachment trial. As Politico reported on Wednesday, Trump is “rewarding senators who have his […]

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 […]

It’s Okay if You’re a Republican-Local Edition

Thursday, October 24, 2019

I had gotten wind of this a few days ago, but didn’t write anything about it, as unlike some Republicans I could name, I like to get some verification before making factual assertions. This was in this morning’s Day, our local paper of record: A complaint has been filed with the State Elections Enforcement Commission […]

Looking backward

Saturday, October 19, 2019

I have mentioned in the past that I am keeping a journal on my Ipad. As a work of literature it ranks below anything I can think of, with the possible exception of Trump’s recent letter to Erdogan. But I try, every day, to put something up about developments related to the stable genius, and […]

Too bizarre to be true! We need an investigation!

The Death of Irony

Thursday, October 17, 2019

A long, long time ago..I can still remember..I embarrassed myself on this blog by misquoting Shakespeare, for I asserted that someone was hung by his own petard, when he should have been hoist by his own petard, whatever a petard happens to be. Today I risk misusing a word again, for is irony the right word in this context? Anyway, I’m […]

I think I already know the answer to this question

Monday, October 14, 2019

The DSCC has put its finger on the scale in Democratic Senate races, though perhaps not so brazenly as the DCCC has in House races. Incumbent protection, particularly when the incumbent in question is a DINO, is the order of the day. I have been wondering where Chuck Schumer’s finger has been in the current Senate primary […]

Reading tea leaves

Friday, October 11, 2019

Some good news today. Sort of. An appeals court voted 2 to 1 that Congress has the right to get Trump’s financial information. Is it a surprise that the 1 was appointed by a certain very stable genius? That single vote is probably the real news, though it will be overlooked for the most part. Before […]

Don’t hold your breath

Tuesday, October 8, 2019

According to Vanity Fair, Mitt Romney is secretly plotting to lead the Republican pro-conviction forces in the Senate. (Fun fact: the Senate doesn’t impeach, it convicts): According to people close to Romney, he’s firmly decided against primarying Trump, an enterprise he believes to be a sure loser given Trump’s enduring GOP support. Romney has also told […]

No chess player he

Friday, October 4, 2019

I believe I’ve noted in the past that the genius is no chess player, being totally incapable of thinking more than one move ahead. Nothing proves this more than his relentless attempts to destroy Joe Biden, who he obviously sees as his probable opponent in 2020, because that’s what he’s told by Fox News and/or […]
