It’s been cited to justify, defend, or oppose resistance to countless unjust laws and regimes down through the ages: slavery, the Fugitive Slave Act, South African Apartheid, Jim Crow, and was reportedly Hitler’s favorite favorite biblical passage. Those are the footsteps they’re following in, and the ignominious…

From an excellent biblically-based takedown of Sessions citation: “Sessions’ suggestion that Romans 13 represents some sort of absolute, inflexible rule for the universe has been refuted by religious authorities again and again, most quoting St. Augustine in saying that “an unjust law is no law at all,” and many…

It’s a classic case of “thou doth protest too much.” And a dead giveaway that he’s lying. It’s just like Trump saying he didn’t collude, but even if he did it isn’t a crime, and even if it is, he has the absolute right to pardon himself....but won’t because he didn’t do anything wrong. Genuinely innocent people simply…

This is his idea, and that of his supporters, of witty repartee, as well as evidence of his infallible instincts, or maybe even omniscience. He’s displaying his ability to know everything in spite of not knowing anything. I’m not sure that’s something he should tout, given that he’s wrong most of the time—except when…

I don’t know if you’re mechanically inclined, but there are kits for DIY Ergodox keyboards. Although, the condition of your hands might preclude that even if you are. I found a list of Ergodox alternatives and a site called “All Things Ergo” (which you may be aware of) with a really comprehensive list of ergonomic…

They’re bending over backwards to be “fair and balanced” to prove their not part of the “libural media,” and in doing so, have become a propaganda tool for TrumpWorld (and Nazis who want everyone to know they’re just regular folks....who are Hitler-worshipping fascists that hate everyone who’s not white and…

But he can be indicted after he leaves office, so is setting himself up for a world of hurt then. Because I don’t foresee the DOJ and FBI career officials deciding to let bygones be bygones after the way Trump has not only attacked them and hurt their credibility among Americans (i.e. Republican voters), he’s damaged…

Not to mention that Trump has given everyone every reason not to give him the benefit of the doubt, with an abundance of demonstrable, indisputable lies—unparalleled for sheer volume, frequency and outlandishness—just since taking office, even if you were to disregard his long prior history of lying and über-shady…

I think that’s true, that there’s more documentation and the press picks up on accounts that go viral on social media. But I also think that there‘s heightened suspicion and fear of black and brown people because of Trump’s culture war rhetoric. He’s overtly painting black and brown people as inherently menacing…

During the 2016 election, TrumpWorld™️ accused liberals, particularly women, of blind support for Hillary just because she was woman, solely because they wanted to break the glass ceiling, elect the first woman president, and didn’t consider anything else.

That wouldn’t be enough to explain the more than $400 million in cash property purchases, plus their business and personal expenses, the latter of which are substantial. Trump complained that the $450,000 a month (or $5.4 million/yr.) allowance his creditors put him on during his bankruptcies in 1990 (today’s…

He can’t pardon himself from state charges, nor from impeachment.

I’ve heard blacks use “Uncle Tom” to describe Ben Carson, and they don’t mean he’s literally selling them into slavery, just selling them out, and Sanders IS selling out women, just like Ivanka and Kellyanne Conway are. Besides, it was the eyeshadow joke and Aunt Lydia joke that are ostensibly causing the hubbub. The…

The comedian’s invited for the express purpose of roasting the attendees—the president, or in this case those who came in his stead, and the press. Those attending should expect it. This year’s was no different than others except that we have an unprecedentedly corrupt administration, the press helped make it…

You might even call that collusion.

Despite the $1.46 subsidy, the USPS is making a profit off the Amazon deal. The Postal Regulatory Commission has consistently found that Amazon’s contracts with the USPS are profitable. The reason the USPS is in the red is mostly because of pension and health care costs. According to a source close to Trump, this has…

Except it isn’t a standalone incident, and the affiliates weren’t given a choice. Sinclair also forced the stations to run pre-packaged videos blatantly pushing Trump’s agenda featuring former Trump officials Boris Ephstyn and Sebastian Gorka (you know, the one who resigned after Trump tacitly defended neo-Nazis…

When Trumpolini demanded his military parade and got slammed, his adherents claimed critics “hate the troops.” But one of the main arguments, including from vets themselves (retired generals and the largest group of post-9/11 vets), was that the funds would be better spent to actually improve the daily lives of…

And yet.....they’re accusing Democrats of McCarthyism and Nazism. But that’s all part of it. Accuse your opponent of that which you are guilty. They’re utilizing all the classic authoritarian mass leader tactics: hypernationalism, ethnonationalism, xenophobia, anti-intellectualism,  projection, gaslighting, etc.…

No, it isn’t, not to people with any basic human decency, particularly if you know what it’s like to be bullied. People who get a kick from watching domineering, malicious assholes with power or physical strength torment, demean and/or humiliate those without the power or physical strength to fight back—rather than…
