Republicans seem to have a mantra for the 2020 midterm elections: “crime, gas prices, inflation.” Whereas they struggled mightily to make a coherent case against Biden in the 2020 election (“Hunter Biden’s laptop is on a Ukrainian war boat stuffed with cash, cocaine, and child sex slaves. Why won’t the media cover this?”), they appear…
Senate Candidate Herschel Walker Thought There Were 52 States…There Should Be
A lot of people were laughing at Herschel Walker, the man with a gaggle of illegitimate kids and who gets things even basic facts wrong more often than a Fox & Friends broadcast. But those people don’t understand the forward-thinking of a man like Walker. They don’t fully realize that Herschel Walker is a visionary. This…
Republicans are STILL the Party of the Rich (and Trump Only Made that Worse)
I’ve noticed a very strange trend in recent years. It seems Republicans are actively working to brand themselves as the party of the working class since Trump paid token lip service to a few of their concerns like offshoring. Sure, he was a guy that ranted about offshoring jobs, but his own clothing line was…
No, Lincoln Could Not Have Just “Bought” the Slaves from the South. Here’s Why the Civil War Could NOT be Avoided…
Bad ideas are like herpes: they never really go away, and you’re kind-of stuck with them forever. One of the most persistent bad ideas in American history is the notion that Abraham Lincoln specifically or the Northern states generally could’ve simply “bought” the Southern slaves and then freed them. [I think this might be particularly…
Episode 92–G.I.A. (Guns, Immigration, Abortion) Revisited & The Libertarian Lie
A jam-packed episode exploding with ideas and covering the buffet of horrific news the last few months have brought like the worst elementary school shooting since Sandy Hook, the media’s myopic obsession with gas prices or Biden’s poll numbers, and–worst of all–the possible loss of another one of American’s rights with the overturning of Roe…
The Real Reason Elon Musk Wanted Twitter was NOT Good
At this point, it might be doubtful Elon Musk will actually take control of Twitter. After all, most of the employees don’t want him (not that he cares). Most of Twitter’s users don’t want him (not that he cares). The Twitter board surely would prefer to hang onto their salaries (not that he cares). And…
What is the Future of Russia?
A lot of people are wondering what the future of Russia is, and even asking me to pull out my crystal ball and prognosticate it a little bit. And I’ll admit that it is truly a great question. And it largely hinges on the answer to a different question: “Do Russians like being China’s bitch?”…
Mom Jokes: Little Johnny Learns What Makes a Country
A very old joke that still works completely… Young Johnny asks his dad how a country runs. His dad thinks and replies, “Well, it’s like this. I earn the money in the house, so I’m the rich. Your mom takes care of running the home, so she is the government. The maid is the working…
Mom Jokes: The World’s Most Important Man
Elon Musk, The Dalai Lama, and a junkie are traveling in a small plane. Suddenly, the plane shudders and shakes, and all goes quiet. The pilot comes into the cabin and announces “We have an engine failure and are about to crash. We have only three parachutes and I’m taking one. You three sort out…
California vs. Alabama Political Ads–Part 2
The Cold War between California and Alabama politics is heating up with Alabama’s insane political ads that name check California specifically… Some of Ivey’s outrageous ads can be found here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsD7… Here’s the Joe Biden “diss” ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl47g… The “No Way Jose” ad and the “I Like It” gun range ad can be found here,…
Mo Brooks, Mo’ Problems
In this video, Alabama Liberal recaps the strange, twist-filled partnership-turned-feud between aspiring-tyrant Donald Trump and one of his chief bootlickers: Mo Brooks…What does the Alabama senate race have to do with rightwing violence, insurrection, conservative white men labeling anything they don’t like as “woke,” and Trump’s spotty record of endorsements (and loyalty)? Watch and find…
Too Extreme or NOT Too Extreme? That is the (Political) Question
Ranking and Grading the Seasons of “Ozark”
If “Ozark” was ever a contender for the title of “Best Crime Drama on Television” then it long ago seceded that mantle to “Better Call Saul” (another crime drama finishing its run this year, albeit in a much higher quality). “Ozark” was as frustrating as it was excellent, often alternating between choice bits of drama…
