A liar of Trumpian proportions

Saturday, December 31, 2022

I confess to being somewhat fascinated by the saga of George Santos. If we discover much more, we have to confess that he makes Trump look like a truth teller. If you’ve been following the story you already know that one of the lies drawing the attention of prosecutors is his claim on financial disclosure […]

January 6th transcripts-Roger Stone

Tuesday, December 27, 2022

This is my third post reviewing, one by one, the transcripts released by the January 6th committee. This time it’s Roger Stone. This will be short and sweet. I think at some point that I’ll get to the transcripts in which witnesses give substantive answers. Stone took the fifth to each and every question he […]

January 6th transcripts, John Eastman

Monday, December 26, 2022

Much to my surprise I have gotten through the second transcript recently released by the January 6th committee. This is an easy one. It was the deposition of John Eastman, the lawyer who came up with the bullshit theory that the Vice President could throw out the electoral votes of any state he chose in […]

January 6th transcripts, Jeffrey Clark part 1

Friday, December 23, 2022

I have set myself the task of reading and digesting each of the newly released transcripts from the January 6th committee. We’re I a betting man I would bet that I’ll never complete the task, but one never knows. It’s my understanding that the released transcripts are a subset of all the transcripts from the […]

It’s always okay if you’re a Republican

Friday, December 23, 2022

Ever since I started blogging, which was many moons ago, bloggers on our side of the fence have used the acronym IOKYAR to refer to what has become almost a legal rule in this country. It’s simply okay to transgress moral or legal norms if you’re a Republican. It is particularly okay so far as […]

The January 6th Committee closes up shop

Monday, December 19, 2022

I watched a good deal of the January 6th committee’s hearing and I’ve downloaded their report, which you can find here. I haven’t read the whole thing, but what I’ve read so far is well structured and persuasive, but when you come right down to it, it’s a fairly easy case to prove. Trump is […]

Does she contradict herself?

Tuesday, December 13, 2022

It’s not exactly an original observation, inasmuch as Republican irrationality is nothing new, but this one really struck me. It seems that Ronna McDaniel wants to know why Republicans are not voting for every single Republican, no matter how half assed or fascistic, or both, that a given candidate may be, as we find when […]

More legal illogic coming down the pike?

Wednesday, December 7, 2022

This is sort of a follow up to one my recent posts, in which I wondered what type of pretzel logic the Supreme Court would use to reject a case brought by Jews who claimed that they had a right to abortion services as their religion does not hold that life begins at conception. So, […]

An additional bright side to yesterday’s election

Wednesday, December 7, 2022

We can certainly celebrate Senator Warnock’s victory over the former football player. The country has come to a bad place when a major political party sees fit to nominate someone who is obviously brain damaged, in addition to all his other issues. There is yet another bright side to Warnock’s victory, besides the political. At […]

An upcoming challenge for the not so Supremes

Monday, December 5, 2022

It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court handles these cases if they make it to the highest court in the land: The ACLU is bringing a suit against Indiana’s regressive, sadistic abortion ban based on the fact that it infringes on the religious rights of anyone who doesn’t subscribe to the fantasy […]
