Project 2029?

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

They're starting to cover their asses...

There’s a lot of evidence in this Susie Wiles interview that she knows she’s been the handmaiden for some awful, possibly criminal, policies, and she’s trying to assemble her own defense in advance of any future investigations. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u... 1/

No excuses, no delays

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long. Every name, every meeting, and every document must be released—no excuses, no delays. (1/2)

More horseshit from Trump

The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.

When they throw a punch, punch back harder

🚨 Texas is moving to gerrymander 4 Democratic seats and Gavin Newsom just put them on notice. If Texas rigs the map, California might do the same and wipe out GOP seats. Newsom says they’ve played fair for years but if Republicans won’t, why should they?

Third time (impeachment) lucky?

Trump’s impeachable offenses are flooding us daily, in plain sight. We don’t need investigations and shocking revelations. We do need patience and a Democratic House to document for all time the “high crimes and misdemeanors” unfolding before our👀. @thebulwark.com open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Exploit their incompetence

Now this is what I like to hear: “House Democrats prepare to make Mike Johnson's life hell” Having a GOP House Majority that is as narrow as it is fractured will be a weakness Democrats can take advantage of. www.axios.com/2024/11/22/m...

They're creepy and they're kooky

The best place for republicans--mental institutions


 There's a part of me that wanted Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, after she was accosted by Marjorie Taylor Greene this week, to ask Greene why she loved Hitler so much.  Or why Nazism was her political party of choice.  Or why racism seemed to be her best calling card.  Something, anything to show that we fight back.

Fortunately for all of us, Ocasio Cortez is a lot smarter than me.  Rather than get in a name calling contest, the result of which would have been more bothsiderism from the Beltway media, Ocasio Cortez initially said that as a former bartender (working class roots!) she threw people like Greene (just another drunk!) out of bars all the time.  Later, Ocasio Cortez questioned the mental health of Greene, because in the real world, stalking a congresswoman in the halls of Congress is a sign that maybe the Trumpmobile has a flat tire.

One has to wonder, as we watch one time right wing idol Matt Gaetz implode in epic fashion, how long it will be before Marjorie Taylor Greene has her own swim through the sewage pipes.  As nice as it would be to tell these right wing nutjobs to go fuck themselves, it's probably best that we let them be their own worst enemies.  The members of the GQP who are showing us exactly who they are has to be eye opening to the sixty percent of Americans who aren't all that interested in riding the fascist train to nowhere.

That way, come election time that sixty percent can cast their votes confidently for candidates who are actually interested in governing, like Democrats, and not those who are more interested in being celebrities and sucking all the donations they can from fools who can't afford it.

Like republicans.

Drawing to an inside straight?

 

The hand Democrats are holding...

Kevin McCarthy claimed this weekend at TPAC that he'd wager his house that republicans will win back the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022, because Donald Trump is going to lead them to victory.

That's the equivalent of George from Of Mice and Men betting his freedom on Lennie to control his lethal impulses just for the chance to get that rabbit farm.

Of course, migrant worker George was a lot smarter than Kevin McCarthy....

You sold your souls for this

Sweet land of liberty for how much longer?

Throughout the course of our history, Americans have rallied behind more than a few Presidents who were extremely flawed.  But to call Donald Trump flawed would be like calling Mount Everest a nice sized hill--the fact is, republicans who last weekend refused to hold Donald Trump accountable for his failed coup voted to unrestrain a degenerate the likes of which the White House has never seen. 

Donald Trump is not a good man.  He has cheated on all three of his wives (famously paying off a porn star so as not to kill his election chances in 2016).  He has said he wished his daughter Ivanka wasn't his daughter so he could have sex with her (what kind of man says something like that--I mean fucking seriously?).  His adherence to any religion or its doctrines is nonexistent--my guess is if he was splashed with holy water his skin would burn like Regan in The ExorcistAnd his claim that white nationalists were good people is akin to saying Charles Manson would have been a fine religious leader if it weren't for the Tate and LoBianca killings.  He lies like most people take breaths.

Donald Trump isn't a good businessman.  He has gone through bankruptcies like I go through M & M's when I've got the munchies (not to mention he bankrupted a casino, which is the equivalent of running out of drinking water when you live on the shores of Lake Superior).  He was sued for his fake University and paid a considerable sum in damages.  He was sued for his fake non-profit (keeping money for his family that was donated for charitable purposes--again, what kind of human does that?) and paid a considerable sum in damages as well as being prohibited from setting up another one.  His name has become so toxic that his properties are plummeting in value--which is quite the neat trick considering that the post-Presidencies of most men have literally been cash cows.

Donald Trump was the worst (and laziest and dumbest) President in our history.  He used the office to grift for his own family businesses (expressly forbidden by the emoluments clause in the Constitution).  He gave aid and comfort to Russia, a nation which has been a sworn enemy of the United States since the end of World War II.  His only accomplishment was a tax cut that so benefited the wealthy at the expense of regular Americans that it was hated by everyone except billionaires.  His epic mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic has thus far led to a half a million dead Americans and an economy on the brink of being in tatters.  In four years he led republicans to a loss of the House, the Senate, and the White House, one of only a handful of Presidents to accomplish that ignominious feat.  He literally cheered on an insurrection that nearly toppled two hundred and fifty years of one of the greatest democracies in the history of mankind.

All of the above just touches the surface--thousand page tomes will be written about the incompetence of Donald Trump's four years in the White House.  And still--still!--forty-three republican senators were more than happy to give him a pass.  What could they possibly have to gain?

Their future is bleak--eventually there will be more people of color than white Americans, and the GQP is losing their votes by anywhere from 65% to 90% per racial group.  They're losing young people by 60% to 40%.  Worried about a primary challenge from the radical right?  Too late--if Ivanka Trump decides to run against Marco Rubio in 2022 Rubio is toast regardless of his ass kissing vote.  Their votes will do nothing to stop a Kristi Noem or a Marjorie Taylor Greene to say they are Trumpier than the rest and will more than likely defeat anyone they run against in a republican primary.  For those with Presidential ambitions, if Trump runs and wins in 2024, there will probably be many years before someone not named Trump is President.  And if health or legal problems or another loss prevent him from becoming President again, exactly one of them will have a chance to be the republican standard bearer in future Presidential elections--the rest will be also rans who will never be President.  And the winner?  Does anyone seriously think if Biden gets the pandemic under control and the economy back on track that enough people of the eight-one million who voted for him are going to a) stay home (thanks to Trump, that option has been permanently destroyed--take a chance on another Trump?  No thanks!), or b) think that what America really needs is the guy or gal who thinks disastrous Donald did a good job?  Fucking seriously?  And then it's off to Presidential Loserville, population Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bob Dole, Al Gore, John Kerry, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, and their buddy Donald Trump--not a one of which has two shits of a say in running our country.  Bon voyage!

They had a chance to vote their consciences and chose instead to sell their souls for a man who is not a good human being, is not a good leader, and was not a good President.  Good call.

I've read a lot recently that history will not be kind to the forty-three Senators who lacked the courage to do the right thing.  My guess is that their Senatorial careers, much like those of most Senators in our history, will be--unlike the seven who will always be mentioned as having the courage to vote to impeach the only President in our history who tried to actively overthrow our government--forgotten.

That is, if they're lucky.  If not, names such as Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Lindsay Graham, and Ron Johnson will very likely carry the same connotation as America's foremost traitor:  Benedict Arnold.

Lewandolt

Republicans are not good Americans

Reading about Corey Lewandowski's appearance before the House Judiciary Committee should be enough to make any self-respecting American who actually loves this country want to projectile vomit upon Lewandowski's face. 

Lewandowski--and by extension, the republican party itself--has no interest in what is best for the citizens of the United States, only in what is best for him personally.  He made a mockery of our rule of law and showed that as far as republicans are concerned, corruption in government is fine as long as it's a republican, and that fealty to dictators who don't have America's interests at heart is their modus operandi.  Our democratic norms are under assault--and still Democratic leadership wrings its hands and wonders what to do.  Hello, McFly?  Fucking impeach!

I'd call him a fucking traitorous pig, but that would be an insult to pigs, who are much smarter than Corey Lewandowski.

Traitor Mitch

This man has done more damage to our country than Donald Trump

Mitch McConnell wrote an op-ed for Fox News this week in which he called on Democrats to work with republicans in a bipartisan way for the good of the country.

Yessireee.

God what I wouldn't give for one, just one, Democratic member of Congress to stand before God and media and say, "Bipartisanship?  Mitch McConnell can go fuck himself."
