History/Politics
Donald Trump is a traitor. In his own damn words.
Just in case you missed this (because apparently Republican lawmakers missed it entirely because they have said nothing): A new book by the Washington Post reporter Anna Fifield and a Wall Street Journal story report that Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s brother, Kim Jong Nam, was a CIA informant. Kim Jong Nam was murdered in a chemical-weapons attack in…
Read MoreListen to Jon Stewart. Do the right thing.
It is unconscionable and evil that United States lawmakers are not doing everything possible to assist the 9/11 first responders as they battle illnesses directly linked to their rescue efforts following the attack on our country. It makes absolutely no sense. We have enough money to give corporations and wealthy Americans enormous tax cuts that…
Read MoreCheck out Jared Kushner looking stupid, afraid, and bumbling.
There are a lot of takeaways from Jared Kushner’s interview with Axios: I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen someone less prepared for an interview. This is exactly how an interview should be conducted. If you can’t say that birtherism wasn’t racist, then you think it was racist. If you can’t say that Trump’s Muslim…
Read MoreWhat is Alabama thinking?
Two weeks ago Alabama passed a law making abortion illegal even in instances of rape and incest. Last week Alabama public television refused to air the season premier of Arthur because it featured a same sex wedding. It’s weird that a state legislature thinks it can permanently role back the clock on progress in an…
Read MoreThe most disturbing aspect of a Trump Presidency
The most disturbing aspect of the Trump Presidency has been this: A President can commit a felony, behave unethically, attack the pillars of democracy, and violate the Constitution with absolute impunity if his party controls even one house of Congress and chooses to do nothing to stop him. As the law stands today, Trump could…
Read MoreJust the right words
Stephen Colbert once described Donald Trump using this perfect set of words: “The President is a racist old horny burger goblin who literally steals children from poor people.” The stealing children from poor people – in case you didn’t make the connection – is a reference to the child separation policy at the border, which…

If Ronald Reagan were alive today, he would punch Giuliani (and Trump) in the face. Deservedly so.
Read MoreTrump’s stupid belief in the simplicity of problems and solutions
There are a lot of problems with Donald Trump. His racism, sexism, incompetence, venality, and open admission that he sexually assaults women are all more than enough to keep him from office. Add to this Trump University, which robbed Americans of millions of hard earned dollars, and family separation on the border, which resulted in…
Read MoreMost of us rejoice. A bunch of old, white bigots do not.
Have you heard? National Women’s Soccer League stars Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris are engaged to be married, the couple announced last week. The romance between the athletes began nearly a decade ago when the two met while playing for the U.S. National Team. Social media was abuzz with the news last week, with people…
Read MoreSurprised about my relentless opposition to Trump? Why?
I’m shocked when someone doesn’t understand my relentless, unwavering opposition to Donald Trump. Why not give the man a chance? Why spend your precious time writing about him and to him and against him? Why can’t you ever give him any credit? I get these questions, and I’m always shocked when I do. Even if…
