Fox is acting in bad faith here. If AOC didn’t work to make sure every staffer had a living wage they would have called her a hypocrite. There is nothing she can do that FOX will not cover in the more unflattering and unfair way possible. Let’s stop pretending this is honest criticism. “”Fox &… Continue reading Fox & Friends host says Ocasio-Cortez’s staff salary plans ‘socialism and communism on display’
Roger Stone and the grand unified theory of GOP villainy
In my mind there are three basic types of villains in the world. You have your Bond Villains, they are larger than life world shaking monsters where the downfall is a plan too big for them to handle. Big ideas require big organizations and eventually someone slips up and alerts MI7. And then Double-O-Mueller shows… Continue reading Roger Stone and the grand unified theory of GOP villainy
“I Am Disgusted”: Behind the Scenes of Trump’s Increasingly Scrutinized $107 Million Inauguration | Vanity Fair
The inaugural committee had raised a stunning $107 million—about twice what Barack Obama had hauled in 2009—from donors such as Sheldon Adelson and corporations like AT&T. But as the Times reported, the tax form revealed profligate spending—nearly $10 million on travel; $4.6 million on salaries and benefits; and $100,000 to Rick Gates, the former campaign… Continue reading “I Am Disgusted”: Behind the Scenes of Trump’s Increasingly Scrutinized $107 Million Inauguration | Vanity Fair
Trapped in a hoax: survivors of conspiracy theories speak out
This is the problem in a nutshell. I’ve seen this first hand. Arguments about facts that make the theory seem less likely just bounce off boogymen appear from every corner. They become unreachable.

New Hampshire Law Illegally Targets Young Voters Ahead of 2020 Primary
The GOP doesn’t want Democrats to vote and they are willing to lie cheat and steal to keep minority rule. “By requiring people to pay up to hundreds of dollars in vehicle registration fees if they register to vote, the law unconstitutionally restricts voting rights and, in particular, targets New Hampshire’s students and young people… Continue reading New Hampshire Law Illegally Targets Young Voters Ahead of 2020 Primary

The Real Origins of the Religious Right
Worth reading ever word from top to bottom. There has been too much revisionist history from the religious right. “it wasn’t until 1979—a full six years after Roe—that evangelical leaders, at the behest of conservative activist Paul Weyrich, seized on abortion not for moral reasons, but as a rallying-cry to deny President Jimmy Carter a… Continue reading The Real Origins of the Religious Right
What Robert Mueller Knows—and Isn’t Telling Us
If this is all a hoax then there needs to be an explanation for why so many in Trump’s inner circle lied about contacts with Russia. “Of course, one possible explanation is that the content of the conversations was completely innocent—totally normal directions and innocent chitchat about “adoptions,” sanctions, potential business deals, and geopolitical diplomacy.… Continue reading What Robert Mueller Knows—and Isn’t Telling Us
Ann Coulter isn’t attacking Trump, she’s defending her brand.
The golden rule of wingnut welfare is always defend the brand and that brand is the magical True Conservatism that exists in the minds of Fox News viewers from sea to shining sofa. In their mind, that brand is Reagan shouting Merry Christmas from a pick up truck loaded with medium rare rib-eyes firing off… Continue reading Ann Coulter isn’t attacking Trump, she’s defending her brand.
