Mexico. It’s affordable, the culture is lovely, the people are wonderful, older Americans live there in great contented flocks because while they can’t afford to live in Republican America, they can live decently and comfortably in the more civilized nation south of the border.

Republican legislators across the nation are passing bills limiting the rights of demonstrators. These are being prepped as test cases which will pass up through select right-wing benches throughout the appellate system and ultimately reach the Roberts Court where, with at least one new justice named (ostensibly) by…

Who was it said America had better get used to living in a small Southern town more or less permanently, or at least until the next election?

Are our vaunted national correspondents still excited that Sean Spicer has so swiftly and completely learned how to lie to them and promulgate fascism calmly, pleasantly, and in a reasonable tone of voice, instead of frenziedly with vein-popping and flop sweat, as he did last Saturday before he turned it around and…

He’s a fucking delusional fascist, probably senile, certainly mentally unstable,  controlled by crazy bastards like Steve Bannon, a big proponent of the Church Militant and the whole psychopathic “war of civilizations” narrative: Donald is in fact the Manchurian candidate placed in office by 63 million fucking…

The entire Republican Party has become a talk radio party on a permanent trolling expedition. This fact would be less dreadful than it is, if only it weren’t for the additional fact that this kind of slime both turns on and incites their voting base.

Nobody tell Donald about this:

Chris Cillizza is a right-wing, dark money apologist going way back. No surprises there. He’s absolute scum.

We’ve been down this road before; the First Amendment is way peskier and more problematic for right wing legislators than the one that comes right after it (the rootin’, tootin’, shootin’ Second Amendment), hence an irresistible target in troubled times.

This is an old, old fight on the left, and an important one. It has shattered progressive momentum in other eras. Let’s hope it doesn’t shatter our resolve this time around, because Donald and his crew of Church Militant, “war of civilizations” cryptofascists are a clear and present danger to us all (so are Charles…

It has something of the weird folie a deux vibe of the awful Parker/Hulme case depicted in the movie Heavenly Creatures—these kids were already broken, separately and individually, but turned into something not merely broken but lethal when they were together.

This is one more thing I refuse to apologize for or feel bad about. You can troll me till the end of time with your “oh, fine, I thought you liberals were supposed to be the moral, non-violent, tolerant ones, so what you’re saying is you’re all right with getting down in the mud, and punching a guy just because he’s a…

Donald was elected by around 25% of eligible voters in this country. Let that number sink in. A slightly greater percentage voted for Hillary or for a third party candidate (more people voted for Hillary than for Donald, and if you throw in the fringe candidates you have a fairly healthy anti-Donald result). Of…

Not so supreme now, are you, Master Race boy?

What a nasty little schmuck. But how perfectly he captures the Republican zeitgeist. It’s like the perfect blend of Eddie Haskell and Julius Streicher.

I so believe this. I have seen loveless marriages, including two that lingered on, horribly, into old age (in one case for religious reasons, in the other case out of some kind of dreadful force of habit). This one has all the hallmarks.

What on God’s good earth is Cheney doing to W’s ass in this picture?

I completely love this beautiful dog.

Don’t be silly. Obviously that’s not even remotely what I’m suggesting. If I were, I’d be defending or even endorsing the window-smashing, the way right-wingers do.

This construction (oh no, be careful, don’t do anything, or the right wing will grow ever stronger) doesn’t work on me any more.
