Foolish For Dear Leader


Donald Trump says he can pardon himself, but poses the supposedly hypothetical question; why would he when he's innocent? Another question is; if you're innocent, why are you talking about pardoning yourself? I can disagree with Trump about the president having the legal power to pardon himself, and you could rightfully point out that I'm... Continue Reading →

Kilauea


On September 11, 2001, my mother called me freaking out and afraid that terrorists were going to fly airplanes into my apartment. I live 50 miles from the Pentagon, but for mom, that was still too close. She passed away in 2002 but would have lost her mind if she had seen the events of... Continue Reading →

Trump Pardon Bingo


Usually, a president takes his power to pardon very seriously. They take recommendations from the Justice Department after they've studied a case for at least two years. Typically, pardons come at the end of a presidential term. Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama didn't issue one pardon between them during their first two years.... Continue Reading →

Roseanne Banned


I've said it here before and I'm going to say it again. I don't know who said it first, and maybe someone will inform me (update: I've been informed it was Maya Angelou. I knew that and forgot it). But, when someone tells you who they are, believe them. As you see people deflect and/or defend... Continue Reading →

Bad Behavior Defense


Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein did not get the Hollywood red-carpet treatment when he entered a New York City courthouse to face charges of raping one woman and forcing another to perform oral sex. Instead, he entered wearing handcuffs. Three pairs in fact, because he's kind of a big guy. It was being a big guy... Continue Reading →

Usually, when a president, or any politician, argues for or defends a position, they use details of the subject. They will use facts while also omitting details that hurt their argument. Sometimes they'll even lie. Every politician lies. What Donald Trump does with lies isn't just different, it's dangerous. Trump does not argue details or... Continue Reading →

Taking A Knee


After the NFL released their ruling Wednesday that they are banning kneeling during the American national anthem and will fine anyone who does so, Vice President and chief kisser of the orange rumpus, Mike Pence tweeted, "Today’s decision by the @NFL is a win for the fans, a win for @POTUS, and a win for...

Commemorative Chicken


Apparently, Donald Trump woke up Tuesday morning to the same realization the rest of us wake with every day. That he could be an international embarrassment, become a laughingstock, and bring great shame and humiliation upon us. That, or he had a really bad bowel movement. After initial excitement over the summit with North Korea's... Continue Reading →

DOJ Happy Place


For a bunch of people who hate "fake" investigations, they sure do like calling for them. Or in this case, demanding. In case you haven't noticed, Trump and his defenders don't even argue the facts anymore in defending him on charges of collusion with Russia and obstruction. Instead, they attack the Department of Justice and... Continue Reading →

The Trump Commandments


People who are not hypocrites have been scratching their heads over the support given to Donald Trump by evangelicals, specifically, white evangelicals. What's up with that? Conservatives and Republicans are hypocrites in general. They hate federal debt when a Democrat does it, but ignore it when Republicans add nearly two trillion to it by giving... Continue Reading →
