Democrats are fighting amongst themselves? There’s a brawl for the soul of the party? The far left and the moderates don’t see eye-to-eye? And the conservative Democrats are nowhere to be found? Do tell. And welcome to another presidential election season. Democratic dysfunction has been the norm for every election cycle save for the ones… Continue reading Fighting Democrats? What Else is New?

At Their Word
It was quite a week for trust, because, as you know, it’s a matter of trust (and just who is that handsome fellow in the Brooks Brothers’ suit at 00:32?). This is the week where Michael Cohen asked us to believe what he had to say about Donald Trump, and Donald Trump asked us to believe that… Continue reading At Their Word
The Taxing Tax Law
I have a foolproof way of figuring out if someone has done their income tax calculations. If they walk around with a smile believing that tax cut bill and those who supported it are on the side of the middle class, then they have not done their taxes yet. If they walk around with a… Continue reading The Taxing Tax Law

I Will Never Be Governor
I slept with you (and you know who you are) and it was consensual). I once dressed as Sandra Day O’Connor for Halloween. I understand that this is misappropriation on a a number of levels: 1. I am not a woman2. I am not a Republican (one of my best features)3. I have never sat… Continue reading I Will Never Be Governor
The NFL Has Its Day
I remember when the Super Bowl was played at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Sunday. Some people remember the game when it didn’t have a number attached to it. Others don’t care at all. I think I might be moving into that third group. The National Football League has become what our other national… Continue reading The NFL Has Its Day
The Waste of Time Presidency
You could probably see this coming from several miles away. I mean, why would the president put his presidency (shudder) on the line for a wall that he would have likely had if he pushed it harder when the Republicans controlled Congress? Why wait until a master politician like Nancy Pelosi is his adversary rather… Continue reading The Waste of Time Presidency
This Is Not What Dr. King Had in Mind
I suppose if you really want to bury a less-than-serious proposal that would attempt to solve the most vexing issue of the day, then you should announce it on the Saturday afternoon of a long holiday weekend. And you should make sure to propose something that gives you everything you want, but only three years… Continue reading This Is Not What Dr. King Had in Mind
Trump’s Action Caused “Grave” Security Threats to Pelosi and Dems
The man who supposedly has the title of “president of the United States” is putting members of the government in grave danger! That was the message from Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, after Trump childishly pulled Pelosi’s military flight to a war zone. According to Hammill, after Trump grounded the military flight commissioned… Continue reading Trump’s Action Caused “Grave” Security Threats to Pelosi and Dems
The Wall Meets the Wall
President Trump made his case for building a wall on the Mexican border on Tuesday night, but there was just one problem: there is no case for building a big wall on the Mexican border. After all, illegal border crossings have been dropping for more than two decades and most illegal substances cross the border into… Continue reading The Wall Meets the Wall
Mitch McConnell Blocks Bill to Re-open Government
Since taking over the House of Representatives, Democrats have tried tirelessly to end Trump’s government Shutdown. But if nothing else, Republicans have demonstrated unwavering support of their dear leader, Donald Trump, and they are united in making sure Americans suffer so that Trump can get his wall. Sens. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.), surrounded by roughly… Continue reading Mitch McConnell Blocks Bill to Re-open Government
Another Trump Lie – Obama Supports My Border Wall – Video
It’s not my job to constantly point out Trump’s lies, that will be a full-time job with guaranteed overtime. No, I don’t have the time or the resources, or quite frankly the web-space on my server to point out all the lies coming from the Trump White House. My server is only capable of holding… Continue reading Another Trump Lie – Obama Supports My Border Wall – Video
