Electoral Dysfunction

Finding it hard to get excited about your next date with democracy? You may be suffering from Electoral Dysfunction.

But Trump Is Evil

Biden’s defenders brush off his support for right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s carpet-bombing of Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians. There can only be one reason why.

The Anti-Trump #Resistance Is Burned Out

Anti-Trump #Resistance members say they’re demoralized by their long fight against MAGA Republicans. Considering what members of actual Resistance fighters had to go through–executions, torture, reprisals against their family members, poverty, being sent to death camps–the minor annoyances these snowflakes report after doing basically nothing since 2016 (unless you count attending one or two rallies) don’t even begin to pale in significance. The least they could do is to stop insulting the memories of actual Resistance fighters by comparing their lame selves to real heroes.

And Biden Is NOT Senile

Team Biden responds to concerns that the president may be senile with assurances that, behind the scenes, Biden is energetic and sharp. We don’t get to see that, of course…not that we get to see much of the Leader of the Free World at all. Maybe it’s time for Team Trump to deploy their own version of “you don’t know him the way I know him” argument.

DMZ America Podcast #138: Alabamapalooza, Haley’s Last Stand, Two Years in Ukraine

Editorial cartoonists Ted Rall (from the political Left) and Scott Stantis (from the political Right) discuss the week’s biggest stories without the boring yell fests but with force and passion.

This week, Ted and Scott start with Alabamapalooza! Scott lives in Alabama, which happens to be the improbable center of the week’s news. After a botched execution using a novel Neue asphyxiation method, the state pronounces itself ready to do a lot more. At the same time, the State Supreme Court has declared that frozen embryos developed for in vitro fertilization are full human beings entitled to the full protection of the law, with devastating consequences for women.

In the 2024 election campaign, former ambassador Nikki Haley takes on Donald Trump in her home state of South Carolina with the polls showing her behind by about 65% to 35%. Ted and Scott wonder aloud why exactly she’s still in the race and what is her strategy. On Tuesday, the race moves to Michigan, where Muslim Americans angry about the Biden administration’s support of Israel against the people of Gaza are trying to organize a substantial protest vote against the incoming president.

Finally, it’s the beginning of the third year of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Clearly Russia has won the war. When, if ever, will American policy makers recognize the reality on the ground and reflect that with their funding decisions in Washington? What will a negotiated settlement look like? What should it look like?

In Case of Fascism

Democrats say that Donald Trump is incredibly dangerous and cannot be allowed to ever be president again. If they really feel that way, why are they re-nominating Joe Biden? It’s not like he’s the strongest possible candidate.
