There’s more: I know of at least two states (mine being one) where the GOP controlled legislature is undoing the will of the voters by subjecting Medicaid expansion to onerous work requirements. And in my state, the legislature also reacted to the successful passage of the Medicaid expansion initiative by trying to…

This is in line with the new GOP talking point (which Trump and Lindsey have been trotting out): “It’s over.” They’ll just pretend that nothing that’s happening in Congress, nothing about Barr, nothing about Mueller or his report, nothing about Russian interference, exists. They’re going to try to “move on” as if none…

I am from a deep red state, and the legislature went through the whole transvaginal ultrasound idiocy a few years ago (it ultimately failed, but OMG the floor debate). The chief proponent of the bill to require it was a 70+ year old white guy. It was exceedingly creepy. Nowadays I think the House side is so insane, if…

This is a perfect example of the principle that D’s need to walk and chew gum at the same time. Yes, they need to lay out detailed policy positions and explain how they benefit voters and the country and will correct the disasters that Trump and the R’s have wrought — as well as pointing out that R’s have no policy…

I’m thinking the Venn diagram of Trump voters, Wrestlemania attendees and monster truck rally enthusiasts is a circle.  

1. He and his father were literally sued by the government for racial discrimination in housing;

Variously reported as that (a ne0-Nazi Identity Evropa slogan) or the more explicit “Jews will not replace us,” along with the Nazi slogan “blood and soil.”  Totes about statues and historical preservation.

Remember: Trump doesn’t care one way or the other. He has no principles, no core beliefs, no native philosophy. As a narcissist, he cares about two things, aggrandizing himself and avoiding shame. He will do anything, and everything, to prevent being shamed. Failing to be re-elected would cause him shame, as would the…

I recall at one point he asked, effectively, if the kids thought their parents in the media printed lies. Totally normal interaction with children.

Well, touche.    I never claimed Americans were any less idiotic.    

I like it.  Damn Italians.

Thank you. Was wondering why a British-made car needs an Italian descriptor tagged onto it.  It’s idiotic.  

Klobuchar/Moulton 2020! White Never Felt So Right!

This is terrible to say, but since politics is part beauty pageant:  She often looks as if someone’s holding a turd about three feet from her nose.  Early nose wrinkle and lip curl.  Not full on.  But that turd’s definitely in range.

In this particular instance:  Dumbfuck RWNJ white trash trailer park denizens playing dress-up.

This raises an interesting point. While Trump is off alternating among public nudity, rage Tweeting, imaginary rallies, and curling up in the fetal position on the Oval Office floor.....I expect all of the remaining political appointees will simply stop coming to work. They’ll abandon the ship. Transition team members…

I think that’s the entire strategy at this point — run out the clock and hope the waters are still muddy enough by next November that enough voters through up their hands in confusion and vote status quo.

Every single member of congress who was around for the Clinton impeachment (especially Lindsey) should be asked at every opportunity whether they believe their vote to impeach over lying about a blowjob was correct, followed by asking them to square that with their reaction to Trump’s orders of magnitude worse conduct…

I suspect like most of these guys, Moulton sees the end of his Congressional career is near and wants to grab one of those TV pundit slots under the title “former presidential candidate and congressman.” That and the outside chance a progressive primary winner looks around for a white guy centrist VP to “balance the…

Consider the list of just the policy lies one can come up with just off the top of one’s head:
