“How can we understand a Republican mindset?” It’s not hard to figure out… Guns, immigration, abortion, political correctness, and taxes. Other than absolutely ludicrous conspiracy theories, these are the only five things I ever see Republicans talk about (they love the first one and they hate the other four). It’s tiresome, if I’m being honest.… Read More »
While there’s a lot of good candidates (the Koch Brothers, for example), I think the three top choices are…Trump, Jeff Bezos, and Vladimir Putin. Trump…He’s the most obvious and top candidate. A lot of people like Lex Luthor and can’t see how evil he is no matter how many times Superman catches him doing something… Read More »
The themes of Biden’s inauguration were (essentially) compassion, competency, and healing the very real divisions that Trump spent four years exacerbating. But can real unity be achieved? It never has been before (infighting has been around since the days of Adams and Jefferson or the fatal duel of Hamilton and Burr), but things could certainly… Read More »
Election losses are a little bit like “ink blot tests” in that you see what you want to see… In 2008, it was said Republicans were too far right to appeal to most Americans, and many predicted Obama’s Presidency was the beginning of 50-year Democratic rule…Instead, the Tea Party swept into power. In 2012, after… Read More »
Has Melania Trump been sent by Moscow authorities to seduce Donald Trump? Does anyone else find her background (supposedly ex-prostitute Trump literally picked out of a catalogue) and the way they met a little fishy? Almost as if Trump had her placed in his path by Russian authorities? And then there’s the fact that Stephanie… Read More »
One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that half the country seems to make it their personal mission to wage a propaganda war against California. You barely need Russian bots when so many Americans seem willing to paint Cali as a post-apocalyptic hellscape where hobos run wild shitting on the streets and littering the… Read More »
How in the hell is someone like Kelly Loeffler worth 500 million dollars, and then represent a state like Georgia which is nowhere near the wealthiest in the country? In fact, why are the overwhelming majority of US Senators wealthy? Money they make before taking office…Many senators come into office fairly wealthy because of their… Read More »
I’ve heard since forever that half of Rush Limbaugh’s audience is just liberals or Democrats trying to see “what he’s going to say next,” and even though I’m skeptical that that’s true–I do wonder if people should do it? On the one hand, it could be seen as giving conservative propagandists money, and increasing their… Read More »
Is the best Super-PAC for Democrats actually run by Republicans? I would argue that “The Lincoln Project” is certainly more effective than whatever idiot came up with “Defund the Police.” But why is that? Because the Lincoln Project is made up of some of the Republican dirty tricksters like Rick Wilson. [It’s much less clear… Read More »
A lot of people would instinctually say Abraham Lincoln, but—to me—I have a hard time really calling Lincoln’s Presidency “great” since it’s the first and only time America had a Civil War, and it occupied his Presidency from start to finish. The South started seceding before Lincoln even took office, and the final Southern troops… Read More »
