Donald Trump demands complete and total loyalty. He believes any attacks on him are attacks on America because he's America. He doesn't want independent thought in the Republican Party, deeming those who criticize him as "Never Trumpers" and "human scum." It's as if not being a member of his cult takes away the critic's credibility.... Continue Reading →
Lindsey Graham has been representing South Carolina in Congress since 1995, and he doesn't want to stop. If advocating a principle, even one he used to stand by, threatens his political existence, then principles be damned. In 2015, while running for president and describing what Trump was "selling," Graham said, "Here’s what you’re buying: He’s... Continue Reading →
When you can't counter facts and evidence, what do you do? You scream as loud as you can about the process, create a giant scene of faux outrage, and state a massive hissy fit. That's exactly what Matt Gaetz led House Republicans to do yesterday. Though Gaetz didn't stampede a herd of cattle through the... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, in one of his greatest reaches to paint himself as being unfairly victimized, Donald Trump used what might be the worst comparison in his presidency. That's saying a lot because he's made a lot of terrible comparisons. Donald Trump equated his impeachment to a lynching. He tweeted, "So some day, if a Democrat becomes... Continue Reading →

Mick Mulvaney went on Fox News Sunday and tried to "clarify" his quid pro quo comments to Chris Wallace. He blamed reporters for misunderstanding and misrepresenting his words. Unfortunately for him, Wallace played the... Continue Reading →
Baltimore congressman Elijah Cummings was more gracious, generous, and better than most. There's no better example of that than his friendship with Republican and staunch Trump defender Mark Meadows, who sat on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which Cummings chaired. Earlier this year after Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib implied Meadows committed a racist act,... Continue Reading →
Maybe I'm just naive and don't understand diplomacy or foreign policy, but it seems to me if you're going to have a successful ceasefire, then both sides have to agree on the definition of "ceasefire." Donald Trump, the self-described "stable genius" and "great negotiator" with "unmatched wisdom," sent sycophant Mike One and sycophant Mike Two... Continue Reading →
Out of the multiple times I shouted at the TV yesterday during acting-chief-of-staff Mick Mulvaney's disaster of a press briefing yesterday was when he was answering a question about the House investigating Trump awarding the next G7 summit to himself. He said they were expecting the House to look into it because this administration has... Continue Reading →
Warren Harding was not a good president. Even during his term, he was regarded as a failed president and that perception remains with today's historians who rank him among the worst. His administration was visionless, ineffectual and corrupt. He slashed immigration quotas, appointed his cronies, one of whom accepted bribes from oil companies in what... Continue Reading →
Nobody liked the idea of John Bolton as Trump's national security adviser. Bolton, a longtime war hawk who has publicly endorsed starting a war with every nation hostile to the United States, was now in an influential position close to a president who could be influenced by the slightest flattery. "Wow! That was some insightful... Continue Reading →
