Trump, Tropes, And Trots


Yesterday, I had a Trump supporter tell me to "stop playing the blame game" and stop blaming "President" (sic) Trump. Three days ago, this idiot posted on Facebook that the coronavirus pandemic is a conspiracy. I get asked occasionally, "Why don't you unfriend these hateful and stupid people?" Because I want to know the latest... Continue Reading →

Anti-Greta


Climate activist Greta Thunberg from Sweden is only 17 years old. That has not stopped conservatives from attacking her. They are attacking and bullying a child for saying something they don't want to hear. Even the president (sic) of the United States has engaged in bullying her. She's a child. Now get this: An energy... Continue Reading →

Bullshit Corinthians


If you read this blog on a regular basis, then you're probably well-read enough politically to be familiar with the argument Republicans have been pushing over the past few years that the Democratic Party created the Ku Klux Klan. You'll see it in memes and in videos created by Prager U., a conservative outfit that's... Continue Reading →

Seig Heil West Virginia


Let's start 2020 with a cartoon about racism in Trump's America. In defending why about 30 of her students from her basic training class from the West Virginia Division of Rehabilitation were giving the "Sieg heil" salute in their class photo, instructor Karrie Byrd said, "Look there is nothing wrong with it, we have people...

Imus In The Mourning


Radio shock jock Don Imus died yesterday at the age of 79. While he pioneered the "shock jock" genre that was eventually taken over by Howard Stern, Imus was at times, a little too shocking. A shock jock says things that can't be said on the radio until they say it. It's why people listen.... Continue Reading →

Toasty Racist Symbols


Touching the thumb and forefinger together with your remaining three fingers outstretched is mostly associated with meaning "OK," but there are several other meanings internationally as well. But over the last few years, it's been appropriated by white supremacists to mean "white power." The idea is that it forms "WP" for "white power." The gesture... Continue Reading →

Scumbag Lawsuit


Is it defamation to call someone a "scumbag?" Because George Zimmerman, the man who was acquitted for shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012, isn't done being one. Zimmerman has a history of being scum. He instigated a fight with Trayvon Martin after calling the police to report him walking through a neighborhood wearing... Continue Reading →

Miller Gets His White On


Last April, Trump supporters lost their collective shit after Representative Ilhan Omar tweeted that White House senior racist policy adviser Stephen Miller is a white nationalist. The wingnuts went bonkers, accused her of being the one who is truly anti-Semitic, and pointed out that Miller is Jewish. How can you accuse someone who is Jewish... Continue Reading →

Go Nats!


When Donald Trump was booed during game 5 of the World Series at Nationals Park in Washington, the crowd wasn't booing the president of the United States. They were booing Donald Trump. While a lot of people, even many on the left, are upset the president of the United States was booed, others like myself... Continue Reading →
