“THE FRAUD IS BY THE JUDGE!” Another day, another crazed outburst from the loony one. Donald Trump unleashed yet another meltdown on Thursday, taking to Truth Social to blast the Judge in his Civil Fraud case. Trump’s rant was, as usual, all about what a wonderful guy he is and that he is INNOCENT. “Why…

Republicans are out of control, and it might end in bloodshed. First, Tim Burchett of Tennessee recently accused Kevin McCarthy of elbowing him in the kidneys as they passed in the hallway. McCarthy has, of course, denied it. It is interesting to note that Burchett was one of the 8 who helped to oust McCarthy,…

One problem with panicking over shady polls is a tendency to lose focus on what’s really going on. The historic ouster of the Republican Speaker of the House prompted by his own party last month was not a completely anomalous event. It was part of something we are witnessing—the continued structural and moral implosion of…

In describing Donald Trump and his minions I’m careful not to overuse the Hitler analogy. Not because of Godwin’s Law or anything, but because a lot of people get offended by it, in part because they’re supposed to get offended by it. But I heard something yesterday that knocked me for a loop. And I’ll…

A new poll yesterday from Emerson, a respected polling outlet, has Joe Biden five points ahead of Donald Trump in the critical state of New Hampshire. Given how much emphasis the national political media places on New Hampshire, you’d think that this poll would get major media attention. It hasn’t. That’s because it simply doesn’t…

Just the other day, I predicted that Donald John Trump would escalate his threats. And so he has Trump called for a citizen’s arrest of NY AG Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron: “I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LETITIA AND JUDGE ENFORON PLACED UNDER CITIZEN’S ARREST FOR BLATANT ELECTION INTERFACE AND HARRASSMENT.” Is Trump TRYING…

When Mike Johnson first became Speaker of the House, people were “sounding the alarm” left and right about how dangerously powerful he was. While he’s certainly an unhinged far right extremist in an inappropriately high ranking position, the reality is that his party picked him for the job specifically because he’s a nobody with no…

Donald Trump recently attended a UFC event, which basically consists of two people beating the crap out of each other. So maybe House and Senate Republicans understood the assignment when they decided to try to emulate Trump this week. How else to explain the fact that they’re now trying to turn Congress into a street…

House Republican James Comer tried to spin a seemingly harmless personal loan from Joe Biden to his brother into a major scandal. Then it turned out Comer had also loaned his brother money. Instead of letting the facts speak for themselves, Comer is going completely off the deep end about it. House Democrat Jared Moskowitz…

You knew House Republicans were in trouble when it took them fifteen rounds to elect a Speaker, and then nine months later they ousted him and had to go through half a dozen candidates before settling on someone who doesn’t know how to tie his own shoelaces. But somehow these House Republicans have managed to…

When you’re going on criminal trial and you’re facing the distinct possibility of spending the rest of your life in prison, your goal is to win. Everything else is secondary. You zero in on the kind of defense strategy that can help you win at trial, and you commit yourself to that strategy. Anything less…
