Just an old wordslinger. Before US journalism surrendered to Trumpism, I made my living as a metropolitan daily newspaper writer and editor. Along the way, I wrote a few songs recorded in Nashville. My sense of humor has become a liability.

Lotta convos about MTG "seeing a lane for herself, so she's calibrating positions." Call me naive, but I hate this shit. I don't want an anti-semitic conspiracy monger in a "new lane." I want people w/convictions & principles that transcend, & who lead people toward doing what's right for everyone.

History rhymes again:
More than 50 years ago in a saner America, Steve Miller delightfully sang of his status as the “pompatus of love.”
Today, another Steve Milller - a vile, reptilian creature - slithers across the national stage as the pompatus of hate.

A white mass shooter is usually painted as mentally ill. A shooter of color, even with clear signs of mental illness,is painted as typical of his ethnicity and people of his background are collectively punished.

The number one killer of children in America isn’t knife or fist violence, it’s gun violence. We don’t have mass flamethrowerings or mass poisonings or mass stabbings even. We have mass shootings. Then the people who we ask to pass laws to protect us pose in Christmas photos holding AR 15’s.

"Orders to fire on the shipwrecked" must be refused.
Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Prior to the Epstein file vote, pathetic worm Mike Johnson spouted all manner of excruciating jibber-jabber about it. (But he earned at least a nomination for the Susan Collins “Concerned as Hell” trophy)

Jeffries said what needed to be said, Republicans can’t preach fiscal discipline while passing bills that balloon the deficit for the wealthy. Democrats fight for budgets that serve families, not billionaires. Responsibility means investing in people, not padding profits.

Corruption is always rampant in authoritarian regimes. Do you think Republicans see it & just don't care?
Between Trump's cryptocurrency scam, his Binance cash for pardon & donor pay to play scheme & his ICE corruption, cruelty & brutality, is there any doubt that he intends to be a dictator?
