Sometimes, people ask things like “Why do liberals hate Trump so much? I’m not talking about things he did as President, but think he is a genuinely awful person. Why do they feel this way?” Trying to explain why Trump is such an absolutely awful person is a task that could go well over 100…
Podcast Episode: “The Encroaching Idiocracy, Idiot Nerds, Dead Elephants, and the Return of the Know-Nothings”
Alabama Liberal wonders if the American Idiocracy is closer than we know, creates the term “Idiot Nerds” to explain glasses-wearing people we often think are much smarter than they actually are (like Nate Silver or Bret Stephens), explains the Republican Party has been so thoroughly transformed by Trump it’s now the party of Dead Elephants,…
The Top 10 Dumbest Things Trump Said During the Debate…
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…
Podcast Episode: “Weird Summer, Magnicide by Media, and the Kennedy Parasite”
The “August” episode of the podcast is worth the wait as Alabama Liberal recaps the wild turns of the Presidential race during summer, celebrates the surge of long-sought Kamala, worries about a future where donors can hold the nomination hostage, debunks the mythology of the Kennedy dynasty, contrasts the lonely and ridiculous RNC with the…
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…
Podcast Episode: “Can Biden Overcome American Immaturity?”
Alabama Liberal has some thoughts on the debate… Then, he thoroughly debunks the notion that an open convention would be good for anyone but Trump (or headline-hungry anchors), talks about why the punditocracy hates Biden so much (and always has), catalogues some of Trump’s worst lies and Biden’s biggest accomplishments, dives into why Biden’s poll…
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…
Episode 100–Does Anything Really Change? Plus, Artificial Insanity
After Alabama Liberal explains May’s absent episode (hint: he waited on a certain verdict that didn’t disappoint), he takes aim at various disinformation floating around about Trump’s trials, bogus comparisons to Bill Clinton, Mad Marjorie’s insane attack on Dr. Fauci, and how charges brought against Trump “wouldn’t be happening to a Democratic politician” (Alabamians may…
Episode 99–The Nepocracy, Algorithm Inequality, Digital Pyramids, and the New Pharaohs
After catching up with Trump’s latest court shenanigans, Alabama Liberal then builds on themes introduced in episode 98 by talking about WHY it’s so hard to make it in America with the stranglehold of the nepocracy, algorithm inequality, digital pyramids, and the new pharaohs that sit at the top of all these systems. Around the…
TV Review: The Surprising Reason Why “TWD: The Ones Who Live” Worked and “The Regime” Didn’t
Both “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” and “The Regime” are about the power moves behind oppressive states, and the lies it takes to sustain a dictatorship. By almost any conceivable metric, “Regime” is the better show–more cerebral, more realistic, more relevant, smarter characters, less “Comic Con” influenced–but, shockingly, “The Ones Who Live” actually…
