This list could easily be 100 bullet points long, but I’m going to try to avoid the more frequent lies Trump says every debate or speech (on climate, on his “great” economy that was dog shit, on the Afghanistan withdrawal, on who pays for tariffs, calling every Democratic opponent he’s ever faced a Marxist, and…

Mark Kelly VP, Shapiro AG, Cooper Secretary of State, and Announce Them ALL at the DNC
Alabama Liberal explains why he thinks Mark Kelly, Josh Shapiro, and Roy Cooper are easily the best picks for VP, and unveils an audacious plan for Kamala to pick ALL of them at the convention, potentially picking up three swing states with a move that’s never been attempted before
Breaking News: Joe Manchin Remains An Asshole with Fastest Political Hypocrisy EVER
On Saturday, Joe Manchin called for Biden to step down and “pass the torch” to a younger generation of Democrats… On Sunday, immediately after Biden stepped down, 76-year-old Manchin was trying to mount his own bid against Kamala for the Democratic nomination… This is the fastest hypocrisy I’ve ever seen from a politician. The turnaround was less than 24…
Kamala’s Fate is Now in the Hands of White Women…God, Help Us
No one expects Kamala to get a majority of white male voters–especially not when Trump’s campaign is pitched so squarely at them, and only them. And the great news is that she doesn’t even have to. After all, if only white men could vote in 2012, Barack Obama would’ve won only five states against Mitt…
President Joe Biden was Amazing! And Even Saved the Election on his Way Out the Door By Endorsing Kamala
President Joe Biden did a great, thankless job as inarguably one of the best three Presidents of the last 55 years, and in my opinion the best. It was maddening to watch the corporate media constantly harping about Biden’s “poll numbers being bad” as though they couldn’t have changed that reality merely by actually reporting all the amazing things…
46 Reasons Joe Biden Absolutely Deserves Your Support
“Why should anyone still support Joe Biden after the debate?” is a question I answer at length in this month’s podcast episode, but just in case you needed a refresher on the 46th President’s first-term accomplishments, here it is… 1. Passed a crucial infrastructure bill that no other recent POTUS has been able to pass…
Katie Britt Proves There’s TWO Embarrassing Senators in Alabama Now
And the Razzie goes to… Katie Britt! …I haven’t seen such an untalented alum from the Karen School of Acting since the last viral cellphone video of a white woman wrongly calling the police on black people that made her mad. Not sure if anyone reading this had a strong enough stomach to see Senator…
Good Riddance to Kyrsten Enema, Unabashed Corporate Toadie
The last few weeks have been filled with some of the worst political news since early 2022, as Russia’s last major freedom fighter Alexei Navalny was murdered, the Putin Caucus in the House looks unlikely to ever allow more aid to Ukraine, the SCOTUS seems determined to create a constitutional crisis, Alabama looks likely to…
Big Question: Why Does the World’s Richest Country (for Nearly a Century) Continually Pretend It’s Too Broke to Help Its People?
Any given day of the news, you can find some story of [fill in the blank] Republican politician saying America “can’t afford” to pay for Medicaid, or “Social Security is going broke,” or some new version of a timeless theme for the Republican Party: that America’s miserly social safety net is unsustainable and antiquated and…
A Generic, Dated DeSantis is Determined to be This Cycle’s Rick Perry or Ted Cruz
Ron DeSantis seems determined to fade into “Presidential also-ran” history by running on roughly the same stuff every far-right Republican for 20 years. Recently, he said he’d eliminate the exact same federal agencies Rick Perry said he would in 2012 (Education, Commerce, Energy, and IRS), apparently oblivious that Perry went on to lead the Energy…
Why Should Americans Follow the Supreme Cult when the Supreme Inquisition Wants to Strip Them of Their Rights?
This is actually a very fair question. —For starters, the Supreme Court’s power is only the perception of power. It has no agency to enforce its rulings. The Justice Department is independent of the court, and no law enforcement agency answers to the court. [They have a police force of roughly 200 officers, but they exist largely…
General Thoughts on this Supreme Court’s Typically Moronic and Scary Affirmative Action Decision
There is no conceivable justification for this decision other than this current court’s mantra of “we’ll do it because we can.” —Many clueless white conservatives (and Asians) have already answered that only SATs should be used for college admissions—apparently ignorant that SATs have a long standing racial bias and several states/colleges are excluding them altogether. —It is outrageous…
Why Do People Who Earned Nothing on Merit Keep Championing a “Meritocracy?”
Recently, Donald Trump celebrated the Supreme Court’s typically moronic decision to do away with affirmative action in college admissions. Naturally, Trump would celebrate this since he is a lifelong bigot with an inferiority complex about any qualified black person getting even the slightest “advantage” over a guy who would be lucky to get a job…
