The U.S. is the only country on the planet to have used nuclear weapons. Which somehow gives it the moral authority to dictate which countries can be trusted with nuclear weapons. This makes sense somehow.
United Airlines Makes The Babyflots Look Good
•
The violent ejection of a passenger by United Airlines from a flight reminded me of an incident from 1997 in Central Asia. Little did I know that the ridiculous practice of overbooking would eventually come to the United States in even worse form than what I witnessed and mocked at the time.
At Least We Never Used Chemical Weapons
•
White House press secretary Sean Spicer got in trouble for saying that Hitler, unlike Syrian president Assad, never used chemical weapons…on the battlefield. Which was true, even if he tonedeafly forgot to mention the use of Zyklon B and other poisons to gas Jews in death camps.
Can’t We All Just Overbook?
•
Phone video captured a United Airlines passenger being dragged off an airplane for refusing to be bumped after he had boarded. The airline said the flight was overbooked (lie) but it highlighted the practice of selling the same seat twice. Why can’t the rest of us do the same thing?
Syrians Miss Obama’s Kinder, Gentler Bombing Style
•
After running a campaign as an extreme isolationist, Donald Trump’s cabinet of generals and billionaires and billionaire generals convinced him to respond to an alleged Syrian government chemical weapons attack with a cruise missile attack on a Syrian airfield. Liberals are largely against this act of militarism, this despite the fact that Obama got the U.S. involved in Syria in the first place.
Mean and Stupid Ain’t Enough
•
Why are Democrats ginning up a bizarre conspiracy theory to nail Trump when there are obvious causes right in front of all our noses?
Democrats: Born to Lose
•
Democrats aren’t used to fighting so they’re understandably nervous about taking on Trump Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch with a filibuster. The good news for them is, it won’t work.
Data From a Truck
•
Under the Obama administration, telecommunications companies were not allowed to collect and sell browser history or other data from smart phones. The new Donald Trump administration has reversed those regulations, freeing personal data to be sold at will.
Crazy White Guys Seething With Rage
•
From his cabinet picks to his press secretary, Donald Trump’s administration is staffed by men seething with rage. How do these maniacs get anything done?
The Russians Are Coming…Maybe
•
Liberal Democrats keep fantasizing that Donald Trump will soon be impeached over his campaign’s alleged and completely unproven collusion with Russia to swing the 2016 presidential election. But there still isn’t any evidence, much less proof, of such collusion.
