Imagine if Lindsey Graham called Donald Trump a "race-baiting, xenophobic bigot," but today, not back in 2015. Imagine if Devin Nunes demanded a fair investigation into Russian meddling in our election instead of running to the White House under the cover of darkness to align talking points. Imagine if Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz demanded... Continue Reading →
Sharpiegate
I don't know which surprises me more, that Donald Trump didn't produce a map he had thrown actual spaghetti at, or that he didn't hire hack cultist, propagandist, and conspiracy theorist Ben Garrison to draw him a new one. In the middle of last week, there were spaghetti models showing possible tracks for Hurricane Dorian... Continue Reading →

That only left five to share with you. Here we go. I was riffing with the "chosen one." I thought this was just OK.... Continue Reading →
Invested In Opioids
Currently, there are some two dozen manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of prescription opioids facing federal and state lawsuits nationwide. Purdue Pharma, the company which unleashed OxyContin on the world in 1996, has proposed a settlement to resolve thousands of lawsuits. If accepted, the family that owns Purdue Pharma, would pay $3 billion of their own... Continue Reading →
Tossers For Trump
After Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017, Donald Trump went to the island and threw paper towels at the victims. To say Donald Trump wasn't prepared for the hurricane would be an understatement. A response wasn't prepared until after the damage. Supplies, boats, and rescue personnel weren't organized until after. Trump didn't even know... Continue Reading →
