Joe Biden cannot take office with a Republican majority in the Senate. If he did, he’d be the first Democratic President since Grover Cleveland in 1885 to take office without congressional control. And McConnell has already signaled that he would block Biden’s cabinet picks from all but the most centrist Democrats or even moderate Republicans….

Unpopular Vote: No, the Polls were NOT Wrong
“Can we ever trust political polling again given how wrong they were yet again in 2020?” I have no idea why people keep saying stuff like this. In 2016, Hillary won by three million votes, and now Biden is on track to break Obama’s 2008 record for most votes received by a Presidential candidate (73…
Send in the Clowns
Detailing only some of the ways Trump and (towards the end) Senate Republicans have betrayed this country
Yep, Voting Third Party is a Wasted Vote
I don’t think that many people are going to throw their vote away this cycle. Partially, because “Libertarian Party” candidate Gary Johnson only got votes because sexists didn’t want to vote for Hillary Clinton over Trump…and this year’s Libertarian Party nominee is Jo Jorgensen, a woman. And if you’re going to vote for an old…
OF COURSE Trump is a Chinese Asset too, and not Just a Russian One
Trump’s base “Well, maybe Trump has ties to Russia, but he’s tougher on China!” First off, it’s amazing that so many Republican voters are perfectly fine with Trump being a Russian asset–but maybe that’s because they’ve swallowed the Steve Bannon fallacy that since Russia is majority white (supremacist) and Christian, they can be the next…
Today’s SCOTUS Doesn’t Reflect America. Why that’s a Huge Problem
Most rational people: “Today’s SCOTUS is not even remotely reflective of the United States of America, is that a problem?” Conservative white male Heritage Foundation Horde: “Not at all!” But, of course, it is… To be honest, I don’t see that many people other than fanatical conservatives who really pay attention to judge races. However,…
Senate Republicans Only Rammed Through “Handmaid’s Tale” Because They Know They’re Going to Lose
“Will ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ getting rammed through the SCOTUS be bad for Republican Senators?” …Oh yes… Conservative voters have already gotten the thing they most want—so it de-incentivizes them to vote (especially if they happen to live in one of those Georgia/Texas districts with 10 hour wait times). And especially if they know Trump is going…
“Reasons to Reelect Trump”…That are Completely False
I keep seeing the same Republican “reasons” to reelect Trump surfacing all over the internet in a way that is not only suspicious (why the same talking points over and over?) but provably false. I’ll now debunk a few of the ones I see the most… 1. “There’s a strong economy.” The economy has collapsed….
Why Republicans Should NOT Vote for Trump
As a response to Joe Biden’s staggering number of endorsements from Republicans (including some from people that worked in the Trump White House), I sometimes see questions from Republicans asking “Why are so many prominent Republicans not voting for Trump?” For Republicans, voting for Trump should be about as appealing as injecting bleach (also, Trump’s…
“Why Hasn’t There Been a Second Stimulus?” …Because Republicans Don’t Believe in Giving People Money, Period
Every American: “It’s been six months since the last stimulus checks. Why haven’t we gotten a second stimulus check?” Well, it’s pretty simple BUT I’m not surprised people don’t know given that our media hasn’t told them: it’s because Republicans don’t really believe in a stimulus that includes government payments to individual Americans…period. There is a reason…
100 Reasons to Vote AGAINST Donald Trump
When you ask Trump’s cult why they can still support a man so obviously unpresidential, unfit for office, corrupt, and possibly insane–they usually ask variations of the question “What has he done wrong exactly?” Insanely naive variations of the question “Why is he so bad?” reveal someone as a dyed-in-the-wool Fox News viewer or Joe…
Trump Tax Returns Takeaway: Trump “Business Genius” is Officially Dead
The question every American is asking today: “Did you pay more taxes than the President of the United States did before he took office?” Yes, I sure did…many multiples more in fact. And my taxes have gone UP since that b*****d’s “tax cut” that went overwhelmingly to the wealthy and corporations. Because the tax laws…
