Wing Nuts


Remember when Republicans used to be pro-national defense and security? Remember when they stood for family values? Remember when they were against huge deficits? Remember when they supported law enforcement? Here's a new one: Remember when they were pro-business? What? Republicans are no longer supportive of business? Not in Georgia, if the choice is between... Continue Reading →

Princess Complicit


Designing second-rate handbags made in third-world countries by eight-year-old children does not make you qualified to discuss diplomatic strategy with the president of South Korea. Inheriting wealth and building a career of creating havens for money launderers does not make you qualified to negotiate peace in the Middle East. Being a trust-fund baby does not...

Captain Bone-Spurs To The Rescue


When I saw the quote scroll across my news feed, "You don’t know until you test it, but I think, I really believe I would have run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon," I couldn't help myself. Forgive my cynicism, but I don't have much faith that Donald Trump, Mr. five-deferments, Captain... Continue Reading →

The Bald Spot


Donald Trump made two very surprising acknowledgements last week. First, he finally admitted that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election. It's true, he didn't admit they sought to help him win the election, that they had any effect on the results, or that his campaign was involved in any way. It's also true he... Continue Reading →

Expat Democrats


This cartoon ran last week in The Costa Rica Star. I get annoyed at people who claim they'll leave the country if they don't get their way. You hear a lot of celebrities make that promise. But, after they don't get their way they don't ever do us the favor of keeping their promise and... Continue Reading →

To Protect And Something Something


While an active shooter was killing his former classmates last week in Parkland, Florida, the only cop on the scene stayed outside and took cover. There are now reports that other officers arriving at the scene also remained outside choosing to hide behind their cars. Trump has called the School Resource Deputy a coward. He...

Love Mass Shootings


Donald Trump said the National Rifle Association is full of good people, which puts them in exclusive company because that's the same thing he said about Nazis. Congrats, NRA. If you watched just a few seconds of the speeches by NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre and spokesgoon Dana Loesch, you'll see why they might belong in... Continue Reading →

Crisis Actors


Last week I talked about how one of the joys of being liberal is that you don't have to make stuff up to justify your beliefs. Your run-of-the-mill Republican will inflate or decrease numbers or leave out pertinent information when making their case. Your average troglodyte conservative will make up the most horrible stuff, like... Continue Reading →

Rooty Tooty For Pootie


I was scrolling through my news feed on Facebook a few hours ago and I noticed one of my conservative friends created a post with a complaint. This friend, we'll call her Allie because that's her real name, was upset because she had posted a news story only to have it removed by Facebook. She... Continue Reading →

Black Panther


Conservatives are easily triggered. Black president? Triggered. Black people protesting against police brutality? Triggered. Black History Month? Triggered. Black superhero movie? Oh hell yeah. Ben Shapiro, the editor of the right-wing site Daily Wire, has his tighty-whities in a bunch over Black Panther, the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU, if you're a...
