By June, 4.5 million businesses had received over $500 billion of taxpayer money, but the exact identities of the recipients were unknown, as Steve…[Read more]

Should I tell them about this? Or just let them go on thinking that Trump is a modern conservative ‘populist’ warrior on their behalf? 🙂

I suppose you could have done better than Genghis Khan and Joseph Stalin, too.

I could do a better job at being president – and I would get 0 votes (not even my own) if I ran for the office.

OTOH, this means the 1% won’t get any new legislation for a couple of weeks.

Does it matter? I think not.

‘Swamps’ are only ‘swamps’ if the president and his party say they are ‘swamps’.

And I hope you are not suggesting that congress should conduct ‘oversight’ of the executive branch. That may be in the Constitution but it is, I am sure, just a ‘hoax’ in modern times. Let the ‘Imperial President’ rule. 🙂

the popular vote is IRRELEVANT in the country at large.

Though I have little sympathy for rogue electoral college voters, it is ironic that the popular vote is beyond reproach in each state but not important in the country at large.

Let’s just say that their candidates have fared better using the EC. It overweights the impact of conservative voters.

Conservatives worry that in a popular vote scenario the millions of votes from liberals on the West and East (other than in the SouthEast) coasts would swamp the conservative votes in the MidWest and Mountain states. That is just…[Read more]

Unhappy presidents often go after the leakers and ignore (or disparage) what…[Read more]

‘Good enough’ was something that Bernie might have been able to accomplish. Biden won’t do that but I’m sure you know that. Still, getting rid of a fascist is progress. Enough?

Maybe we just have to wait a little longer. 🙂

I truly wonderful side benefit. The flag over the embassy pisses off homophobes regardless of their nationality. Kudos to the embassy staff since the risked their jobs by pissing of our “You’re Fired” president.

Opposing Trump for his record over the past 3 1/2 years does not make one a ‘never-Trump’ republican, though that is probably what he will call them in his tweets.

More accurately they should be called “never-AGAIN-Trump” republicans. More power to the few of them that there are. There are not very many if you use the polls which should his…[Read more]

, and that’s impressive since Obama dropped more bombs than ever before.”

I don’t know if this assessment includes all the American-made bombs dropped on Yemen since ‘we’ are not technically the ones dropping them. In any case, Trump can stop the bombing anywhere and at any time that he wants.
