Like the infamous Crying Nazi? Speaking of, the organizer of the Unite the Right rally (part 1 & 2 of what I hope is a 2 part series), who’s now reviled even among his brethren, said that the poor white nationalists, neo-Nazis and KKK members were “too scared” to show up in DC. Apparently, some worried it would be a…

I’m surprised Jill Stein’s mug isn’t among the comrades being lauded on Russian state media. She was at that same table in Moscow with Putin as Mike Flynn at the RT event. She belongs more than Bernie Sanders. He’s  been very vocal in his condemnation of Russia’s attacks on our country. He voted no on the sanctions…

The Founders didn’t foresee a demonstrably amoral mercenary being elected, particularly to the highest office. Not sure why though, they warned of demagogues—yet didn’t provide sufficient protections against one. In their defense though, I think they assumed, what now seems naively so, that the electorate wouldn’t know…

Apparently you’re unaware that there are independents and a small percentage of people who self-identify as Dems who voted for and support Trump. So yes, they are backing their leader, if not their “party’s” leader. And Trump isn’t really the leader of the Republican Party, he’s the leader of  the Party of Trump,…

If only so they don’t think we’re easy targets. But since they’re already claiming that all of those not on board the TrumpTrain™️ are “dangerous, radical extremists” (projection much?) who want a civil war (remember how liberals planned to start a civil war on Thanksgiving, but apparently forgot to send out the invita…

They do live in a bubble, especially Trump, and they do believe some of their own propaganda, especially Trump and ideologue and Goebbels reincarnate Stephen Miller. But yeah, for the most part it’s just perverse cruelty—getting a thrill from inflicting suffering, like burning ants with a magnifying glass—and…

The least expensive, most convenient food is the most unhealthy food—filled with fat, salt, sugar and chemicals that make you crave it and that shuts down the release of the chemical in your brain that tells you that you’re full. Healthy food—lean meats, carbs made without white flour, fruits and vegetables—is…

When she visited this facility, she asked how long the children were being detained there, and was told the average stay was 42–45 days. Melania “Be Best” Trump said, “That’s great,” in a more animated tone than you normally hear from her. (Yep. 🤨) Not sure exactly what she thought was great about children who’ve…

I notice you only answered the troll comment, not the reply asking you what you’re doing or have done to help. So, what exactly ARE you doing that makes you believe that you have moral superiority over everyone commenting here, over all liberals? How could you possibly know what people commenting here, or liberals in…

Trump adherents view themselves as skeptics, but true skeptics question everything. They most especially question those things which align with their own preconceived notions, since that’s when skepticism is most needed, because it’s all too easy to accept something that you want to be true, that you want to believe.…

The Women’s March organizers and Parkland kids should take up this cause. They’re clearly good at rallying and organizing, and women are mothers (and daughters) and the Parkland kids are advocating for children’s safety, so it’s in their wheelhouse. If millions of women can march for women’s rights and the safety of…

I don’t know about the majority of rank-and-file Trump voters, but there are several Republicans, a surprising number of usually tribal conservative writers (not just Never Trumpers either) and an ever growing contingent of religious right Catholic and evangelical leaders who have strongly denounced his “zero…

If Democrats were to meet his demands on this, it’d only empower and embolden Trump. Cruelty towards the weak and vulnerable would become his go-to tactic—and grow ever worse, since people would become inured and he’d have to up the ante. And it’s not only Democrats, their voters and the mainstream media objecting…

It’s the same “I got mine, screw everybody else,” mentality of all the Trump cultists. Michigan “conservatives” (regressives) are removing the term “common good” from the state’s social studies curriculum. Apparently that concept is “too partisan” and offends conservative sensibilities—despite the fact that multiple…

They don’t seem to mind that the Commander-of-Cheese saluted a North Korean general either. Aside from Trump becoming a liberal (again) and supporting gun control, abortion and gay marriage, I don’t think there’s anything that they wouldn’t support, justify, defend or excuse. He’s essentially infallible in their eyes.

Respect is earned, and not only have they not earned respect, they’ve shown themselves to be unworthy of it, have shown no respect for anyone or anything (not even each other), and routinely disrespect, demean and dehumanize others. And the benefit of the doubt isn’t a right, it’s a privilege, one that they’ve…

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…
