Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen dished on the president in testimony before Congress. There were many tasty revelations, like the one that Trump didn’t want his college transcripts released. Personally I went for the useful one: if you’re ever short of cash you can blackmail the billionaire even for the sins he hasn’t committed. A most interesting form of economic stimulus.
The world isn’t doing anything to stop or reverse global warming. Which, considering that it could literally result in human extinction, is totally insane. What if the existential threat were more cinematic?
Democrats’ expectations for Robert Muller and his investigation of the Trump campaign and possible collusion with Russia have risen to such heights that it’s hard to imagine that they won’t be seriously disappointed.
“Empire” TV actor Jussie Smollett is accused of faking a racial and homophobic bias attack on himself in Chicago, allegedly in order to make the Trump Administration look bad. But hey, it’s not anyone needs to fake anything to make Trump, the Republicans or the United States look awful. The truth is bad enough.
Wearing blackface is/was an idiotic thing for the Virginia governor or attorney general to do when they were young. It may destroy their political careers and maybe that’s OK. But many more politicians do far worse things that truly deserve severe sanctions and get rewarded for them instead.
Bernie vs. Hillary is history, so now the mainstream media is gearing up for 2020 with another round of opinion pieces declaring that “centrists” are more electable than “extremists.” There is, however, no evidence to support this argument.
Talk about circular reasoning!
President Trump says he needs to build his border wall in order to protect the thousands of troops he stationed there because there wasn’t a wall. What?
The problem with centrists is that they cannot and do not challenge the fundamental assumptions of the system, no matter how objectively awful it is.
The Trump Administration is considering invading Venezuela. Please don’t say here we go again…
The governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general of Virginia are all Democrats, and they’re all embroiled in scandal. When the scandal only seemed to affect the governor, Democrats were happy to see him replaced by one of their own. Now that the line of succession leads to a Republican official, they’re remaining silent. How can anyone take them seriously?
