Gee. It turns out that the president actually lied. Not that this is a total surprise given his history of being a liar, telling untruths, exaggerating facts, creating alternative facts, being 100% wrong, saying one thing and contradicting another, making stuff up, fibbing, retweeting fake news stories, lying to his wife, and getting his American… Continue reading The Silly Season Gets Ominous

Whither Infrastructure?
What a great word. Infrastructure. People of all stripes and models use it earnestly despite its awkwardness. It means so much and is so difficult to romanticize. I’ll stop. Remember when infrastructure was going to be first on the new president’s agenda? It was going to be the issue that Democrats and Republicans could rally… Continue reading Whither Infrastructure?
Don’t Get Mad: Get Going
You knew there was going to be a point at which it gets worse. We might have reached it.

Donny Dictator Defines Deviancy Down
I’m always amused when there’s a president in the White House with whom you don’t agree, and friends or others ask, “But you want the president to succeed, don’t you?” And I suppose, in the abstract, the answer always has to be yes because the success of the president is tied to the success of… Continue reading Donny Dictator Defines Deviancy Down
The Absolute Power Grab: Ignorance of the Law Becomes Trendy
There’s nothing like studying the Watergate scandal to remind you of what can happen when one person gets more power than they can handle. President Nixon thought he was above the law, but the Supreme Court said otherwise.

One Word: Trumpflation!

Trumpflation: that combination of rising wages, rising interest rates, a border that’s closed to low wage labor, a trade war with China, tensions with our European allies over economic sanctions, and a dropping fertility rate. What’s it all add up to? Well, it doesn’t really add up, but the result will be rising… Continue reading One Word: Trumpflation!

Common Among Celebrities and People of Wealth
Any populist claims made by Donald Trump are heretofore considered fraudulent. This man is no populist. He’s barely popular and his policies will not help his constituents as much as they think. The economic numbers that came out Friday were encouraging and at this point it’s Trump’s economy. Unemployment is down for almost every demographic group… Continue reading Common Among Celebrities and People of Wealth

It’s on. The Kim Jong-un Redemption Tour is officially under way and like any other one-party, all-powerful, illiberal, murderous dictator, he is smiling all the way. Hello. I had my uncle shot.
