Obama’s crowd was only bigger if you count the Californians, libtards.

My family, until the current generation, were old-school WASP (we have mixed it up a bit in the current incarnation, at long last). I like to point out that whatever nobility the rest of white America prefers to fantasize it has descended from, my own people are over here pretty much because we were abysmal failures…

The great Klan revival of one hundred years ago in the new industrial cities of the heartland (Pittsburgh, Gary, Detroit, Toledo, etc.) was entirely in reaction to the “invasion” of the wrong sort of Europeans—Greeks, Italians, but above all Eastern European immigrants, most of them members of alien religions (Roman…

Hitler made eliminating the Poles a higher priority than wiping out the Jews. As noted in Wiki, “just before the invasion of Poland, Hitler gave explicit permission to his commanders to kill ‘without pity or mercy, all men, women, and children of Polish descent or language.’” Jews were on the list, but as Poles, at…

I think the big thing to remember is that whatever awful things may happen—and I’m concerned about how swiftly and forcefully these people may decide to go all out violent, it could happen as early as the demonstrations this weekend—it is still necessary to stand on the side of justice, to keep fighting if one…

“...shouted down and accused of being emotional.”

I’m just fascinated to see where Team Donald feels they have to draw the line.

Lately it’s hit me that we all have a kind of confidence that comes of living in a democracy, even a flawed and dying one. We say things. We predict. We laugh. We weep. We mock. We’re sure it’s all right, because, by gum, we’re Americans.

So far, even the most absolutely revoltingly fascist trial balloon floated by the Donald transition team has been received with full-throated cheers and/or loud, ugly laughter by his 63 million voters, as well as Fox, Breitbart, and most of the kids at NBC-Universal/Comcast.

Don’t care. Fine. Whatever. Hope these guys choke on their own bile, and then the ravens pick their corpses clean.

The prospect of his SOU doesn’t horrify me nearly as much as the anticipation of the celebrity reporters who will sit around shiny tables in the aftermath and declare excitedly that he had “exceeded expectations,” that his delivery was “brilliant” or that it was an “unexpectedly thoughtful speech” or that he had…

Apparently, the Chinese (who may well end up saving the world from, well, us, because God knows somebody is going to have to) are elated by the sheer naivete of Team Donald with respect to “Africa” (as with respect to everything, as it turns out). The continent is, from their perspective, an opportunity-rich complex…

Oh, stop. Just stop. No more.

Except for the fact that I would be herding goats, not cows (my grandfather was a cow farmer—the stories put me off cows for life: whereas goats are completely adorable), I am right there with you.

One of the bravest people in America. It is always a perilous thing to tell the truth in politics—especially now, at this moment of through-the-looking-glass right wing loonery and racist violence, two evils with which Representative Lewis is all too familiar.

The Fascist Internationale is being surprisingly kittenish about their antics, considering how lethal the implications are for all of us. I suppose this is in part because men like Steve Bannon have brought Breitbart/Gamergate tactics to this cut-throat, international political game.

Don’t be so critical of our magnificent political press. At least while they were dragging Hillary down with partisan speculations filtered to them on a daily basis by men like Steve Bannon, Jason Chaffetz, and Peter Schweizer (virtually all of which turned out to have no foundation in, you know, reality, or fact,…

I can’t help wondering if CNN honcho Jeff Zucker (once Donald’s executive producer at NBC)—a notoriously horrid man who bent the rules of journalism until they snapped in his hands in order to give Donald a friendly hearing at the network throughout that farce of a campaign we all endured— still proudly displays that…

Chuck Todd needs to explain to Seth Meyers how real journalism works. I mean, the very idea of putting a Republican operative on the spot like that, and asking, you know, real questions, and then asking follow ups, and not letting the operative get away with saying whatever Frank Luntz bumper-sticker happens to roll…

Yeah, Comey. I mean. Jesus. There are no words, and Comey’s damn lucky there is no God.
