Today, I got six “Breaking News” alerts from the New York Times about disastrous SCOTUS decisions. All of them were regressive as hell and overturning either progressive state laws OR long established federal laws. The current conservative majority of the Supreme Inquisition seems to believe that federal laws that protect us from whatever brain fart…

Keir Starmer is Resigning, but Trump-the-Turd is Still Clogging Up the White House Because People have a Double Standard for Liberalism…
This week, you may have seen two stories floating around that don’t appear to be connected, but actually are: that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is resigning because his poll numbers suck, and that U.S. “President” Trumpolini is staying right where he is despite his poll numbers sucking almost equally. You would think Trump’s poll…
Of Course California Should Tax Its Billionaires, Despite Gavin Newsom’s Self-Serving Opposition
“Why in the hell is Gavin Newsom not supporting California’s sensible one-time billionaire tax that would create massive revenue for a state that not only has the most billionaires, but ones that definitely don’t pay their fair share?” Because he wants some of these goons to finance his Presidential campaign, and this is why he’s…
Thank you to Alabama Liberal Fan S.G.
Although this hasn’t been the most productive year of alabamaliberal.com (the first year after an election never is since the podcast is mostly timed to the Presidential election cycle with a couple of episodes in off-years just to keep things active), someone was generous enough to donate the first recurring donation in Alabama Liberal’s near-15…
Why do Trump Supporters Bash “Northeastern Coastal Elites” but not realize Trump is one?
The paradox of Trump (an-NYC billionaire nepo-baby who couldn’t find Alabama on a map until he started running for President) getting unwavering devotion from a red state base he wouldn’t have spoken to until he needed them leads to the classic question of “Why do Trump supporters like to bash liberal Northeastern coastal elites but…
A Simple Message of Thank You
This will be one of the shortest articles I’ve ever written on alabamaliberal.com (and there have been thousands over the past near-15 years), but it doesn’t need to be a long one: We all know Donald Trump wants to be a dictator, and is actively working towards that goal. His fans can pretend they’re asleep…
Trump’s Gullible Base Stretches Themselves Into a Pretzel to Believe Him on Epstein
The basic logic of conservatives on the Epstein Files is so naive, it’s borderline deranged. Their basic thinking goes: “You book smart liberals just don’t understand something very simple! “First, the Democrats introduced Trump to Epstein as part of a decades-long plot before Trump entered politics… “Then they made him be best friends and sex buddies…
Why Trump’s Cult Cares More About Imprisoning Immigrants than Their Own Healthcare
Trumpolini draws his most diehard, in-the-bunker voters from people that hate immigration. It is a particular obsession for his most faithful cult members, and it’s not a coincidence that when he rode down that golden escalator and declared his first Presidential run 10 years ago he put special emphasis on immigrant bashing. He caught their eye with that, and captured…
Why are Trump Voters So Easily Conned By Him? They’ve Had Lots of Practice Getting Suckered
Trump recently celebrated the decade anniversary of when he first started running for President, and that means his fans have forgiven him everything over the past decade. The trillion dollar question always seems to be “Why can’t they see him for what he is? How did millions of marks get so took by such an…
CBS Cancellation of Colbert Should Terrify EVERYONE Who Lives in a Free Society
There seems to be some confusion in the media about whether Paramount’s desire to please an aspiring tyrant like Trump had anything to do with their shocking decision to cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” which has been on the air since 1993, but only become number 1 in the ratings under Colbert, and…
The Supreme Cult Just Legalized Rendition as Immigration Policy
The Supreme Cult’s current reign of terror can’t end fast enough. The conservative majority has certainly been “on a roll” the past few weeks, continually proving they’re the most pro-robber baron SCOTUS in a century (and sometimes with Judge Elena Kagan’s help). –Their economic rulings appear to be “Whatever Goliath asks for in his inspirational…
In CA, Trumpolini Starts His Reichstag Fire…Now What?
Here, Alabama Liberal explains what’s actually happening in his adopted home of California, how Trump is very clearly following the “never let a crisis go to waste” playbook of past aspiring dictators trying to transition their countries into fascism, and the books, movies, or TV shows that can teach you what to do next.
Musk Leaves Washington DC with a Literal (and Figurative) Black Eye
Here, Alabama Liberal breaks down why Musk was a fool to ever get mixed up with Trump in the first place as a simple look at Trump’s history (screwing over anyone who’s ever gotten close to him) and the history of autocrats in general (the country’s richest man doesn’t usually stay that way for long…
