Coups For Dummies


On November 10, 2016, President Obama hosted President-elect (sic) Donald Trump in the White House. Vice-President Joe Biden hosted vice-president elect (sic) Mike Pence in the VP residence. First Lady Michelle Obama gave a White House tour to Melania Trump. Today, it's November 11, 2020, and instead of inviting the future president of the United... Continue Reading →

Secretary Spanky


Mary Louise Kelly, the reporter for National Public Radio who Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is currently having a temper tantrum over, wrote a column for The New York Times that explains how she's bothered by something more than our nation's top diplomat calling her a liar. Kelly wrote, "Journalists don’t sit down with senior... Continue Reading →

Bigger Than Ukraine


I don't believe the press is infallible. They make mistakes. Usually, when I have an issue with a LEGITIMATE news outlet (something Trump cultists can't differentiate from propaganda sites), it's over how, what, and how much they cover a topic.

Donald Trump, the self-described "stable genius" and "great negotiator" with "unmatched wisdom," sent sycophant Mike One and sycophant Mike Two... Continue Reading →

Yesterday, a screenshot circulated on Facebook of a tweet attributed to Monica Lewinsky stating she would "take one for the team" and do to Donald Trump what she did to Bill Clinton in the Oval Office as "that's the only thing that can convince Republicans to impeach." If you saw the tweet, shared it, liked,... Continue Reading →

A Sinking Argument


In 1898, the USS Maine was sunk in Havana Harbor (if you're a conservative, Havana is in Cuba). It was sunk in February of that year. By April, we were at war with Spain. At that time, Spain was a world power whose strength was dwindling. But, they still held territories from their days of... Continue Reading →
