Before we even get the lie in the latest Trump whine and victimization, the absurdity of it should be acknowledged. Donald Trump removed Marie Yovanovitch from the ambassadorship of Ukraine. Before doing so, Rudy Giuliani and the fuckwits on Fox News engaged in a smear campaign of Yovanovitch. While most Fox News viewers had never... Continue Reading →
What’s Your Crazy?
Fiona Hill went to Capitol Hill yesterday and schooled Devin Nunes and the rest of the Republican nitwits serving on the Intelligence Committee. Dr. Hill, an expert on Russia, scolded the Republicans for pushing the false, debunked conspiracy theory that it was Ukraine meddling in our 2016 presidential election in favor of the Democrats, and...

A Trumpian Supper
Yesterday, Gordon Sondland, Ambassador to the European Union, testified that he followed Donald Trump's orders to pressure Ukraine to announce an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden and that other top officials knew. There is no argument that Donald Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and promote the debunked conspiracy theory that it was... Continue Reading →
Zelensky Loves It
Donald Trump made an unannounced, surprise, mysterious visit to the hospital over the weekend. The White House is in denial mode that there was an emergency for the 73-year-old obese manbaby, and his physician issued a statement saying, "regular, primary preventative care." Presidents get physicals once a year so why all the speculation? Because this... Continue Reading →
A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood
Mr. Rogers did testify before the United States Senate. In 1969, President Richard Nixon was being tricky and tried to cut funding to the Public Broadcasting Network (in case you're a Republican, PBS) from $20 million to $10 million. Fred Rogers only spoke for six minutes. He used that time tell the Senate Subcommittee on... Continue Reading →

On one of his phone calls with Ukraine's president, Donald Trump said then-Ambassador to that nation, Marie Yovanovitch, was going to "go through some things." The man does project. No real blog for this... Continue Reading →
Juicy Intel
One revelation from last week's impeachment hearings is that the ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, was talking to Donald Trump on a cell phone from a restaurant in Kyiv, Ukraine. This is potentially dangerous. Donald Trump has never taken security seriously. He overruled the FBI in giving his idiot son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a... Continue Reading →
Sinking Like A Stone
Yesterday was historic. We got to witness a public hearing in only the third impeachment inquiry in our nation's history. We got to watch a president intimidate a witness while she was testifying. We may have seen a new article of impeachment created in real-time. And finally, a federal court found Trump confidant and partner-in-crime... Continue Reading →
Poo-Flinging Republicans
Jim Jordan has a law degree but he never took the bar examination. It's a good thing, too, because, there are some legal details he doesn't understand, like corroborating witnesses. Jordan pointed out that neither William B. Taylor Jr., the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, nor George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of State specializing... Continue Reading →
