For fuck’s sake. A lobbying group buying ad space to influence the tv-addicted president... This is satire. This is not real life. This is an MFA student’s narrative experiment. This is not a thing that happens in a real world with real consequences and real adult human beings making real decisions that affect the…

I’m not of the “he shouldn’t have resigned” camp but... damn, the swiftness of it is what got me. No discussion, no talks, no hearing. Just GTFO. And the GOP just sat back and said nothing because hey, the Dems were doing what the GOP wanted, just doing it faster. I don’t know, it just seemed like the expediency was…

Oh hai, Bernie Bro! Apparently you never learned how elections work. You see, each state is in charge of elections, not the DNC or the RNC.

I think the US would be a better place if everyone took a rhetoric or debate class and…

The image of a hippo spraying shit from its ass whilst fanning it out with its tail is incredibly apropos.

I am sure you have been spending a lot of time speaking on the “Gish Gallop” recently.

So, I teach Rhet/Comp (argumentative logic in a written capacity) at the college level, and have for the last twelve years.

The level of obfuscation, dissemblance, and general reliance on logical fallacies that this administration continues to engage in is absolutely flabbergasting. I’m no political pundit, but I do…
