Climate change is a hot topic that causes much political strife in the US. Mostly it really comes down to money. Who is making it and who is paying it. For the moment though, let’s boil it all down to the simplest equation. Let’s ignore all of that scientific consensus and assume that man-made climate […]
Now that Kavanaugh has been confirmed, as if there was really any doubt, let’s review. If you aren’t a white christian male, you’re pretty much screwed. Everything from Roe to the entire civil rights legislation are up for grabs now. However, those may not be the worst things coming. Elections have consequences. The 2016 election […]
I’m a little behind the news cycle on this, but here is my take on why Trump should be very worried about the Cohen plea and Manafort verdict the other week. They both happened on the same day and each has very different implications. Let’s start with Cohen. He was Trump’s personal fixer for 10 […]
There aren’t too many things that I agree with President Reagan on. One thing I did agree with him on was the idea of America being the “shining city on the hill”. Sure, we have rarely lived up to that ideal. We spent most of the last half of the 20th century destabilizing democracies in […]
There are a lot of headlines and outrage, but not a lot of understanding about the separation of parents and children at the border. There is a whole lot going on here. I will try to explain to the best of my ability and understanding. First off, there are 2 separate groups to consider here. […]
Republicans own this government shutdown 100%. It really isn’t even Trump. While he has shown a total lack of leadership and flip-flopped his position on everything at least once, it ultimately comes down to Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. Republicans have total control in congress. The determine what bills are voted on and what is […]
Trump’s latest lie of self importance/delusion is that he turned down Time magazine for the person of the year award because they said he “probably” won it. Time magazine quickly refuted this as a lie. This is typical of Trump and barely news worthy. Very few days go by where he doesn’t tweet something, usually […]
After the 2016 election, we have Republican climate deniers in charge of both houses of congress and the presidency. Trump has nominated vehement climate deniers to all of his cabinet positions. This puts the country, and the world, in a very precarious position. Climate change is the single biggest long term threat to both human […]
America just got it’s ass handed to us on a silver platter and we haven’t even realized it yet. The game ended before we even realized that we were playing. This week we had the “big reveal” of a 35-page intelligence report alleging that Russia had compromising materials on Trump, among other things. Nothing in […]
I don’t like Hillary Clinton. I never have and probably never will. I think she was the worst possible nomination Democrats could make and the only reason she isn’t down in the polls by 30 points is because of the extremely low quality of her opponents. If it weren’t for that, she couldn’t get elected […]
