I am so tired of all the different explanations for the terrible state of our country. How did we get here, etc. The answer is simple: the Republican Party. About 25 years ago they decided to concentrate on the accumulation of power and trashing the Constitution.

That is all.

As an Army and National Guard veteran, I am infuriated by Hegseth’s treatment of Mark Kelly. Every veteran should be. Speak up, vets!

So Marco Rubio is finally living the dream of his right wing backers. Start pumping oil out of Venezuela and knock over Cuba so we can take all the sugar! He’s thinking of leading parades in Miami and his inauguration in 2029.
January 5, 2026 at 1:44 PM
So now there are 80 confirmed dead in our Venezuela incident. Including 32 Cuban security personnel. Oh.
January 5, 2026 at 2:55 AM
Marco Rubio sounded like a flaming asshole on Meet the Press. Welker, no journalistic titan, asked straightforward questions about Venezuela that he couldn‘t answer. Just doubletalk. Same thing happened with Brennan on Face the Nation. He looked like a fool. What a fiasco.

Remember when Rubio was supposed to be the adult in the room? An empty suit. Shallow opportunist. Hypocrite. Always was.

Hey, WTAF? Trump says he’s running Venezuela and the country‘s vice president and cabinet say, “no way, Jose!” Plus, they want Maduro returned, and the US to scram. A God almighty mess. Trump, Rubio, Hegseth, Miller. Dangerous clowns. Congress needs to grill them. Now!

I took another look at this morning’s press conference. Trump looking like he could barely keep his eyes open was bad enough, but did you all notice the right side of his face drooping? It sure was. Hey, media, ask him about that next time you see him.
January 3, 2026 at 11:53 PM
One more thing. Trump sounded like an effing moron at this Venezuela press conference. Couldn’t even pronounce Monroe Doctrine. Musk, Rubio, Thiel are pulling the strings. Bet you Erik Prince gets paid to send his goons to Venezuela. And, Rubio threatened Cuba just like I thought.
January 3, 2026 at 7:28 PM
Wall Street Journal reports that hedge fund honchos and other financial types are going to Venezuela soon to check new investment opportunities. Sounds like they knew more about this invasion than Congress did.
January 3, 2026 at 7:13 PM
Forget about all the pundit explanations about Venezuela. It is all about oil. Always was. We will take the oil. We will sell the oil. We will stop their oil going to Cuba, which will devastate the country, so Marco Rubio can get revenge for all the Miami Cubans.

The WSJ interview with Trump about his health is insane. So, he doesn’t fall asleep during meetings, he is only “blinking?” He thinks we are stupid enough to believe this? He won‘t wear compression socks the doctors recommend? Don’t ask about his diet. Heart attack city. But, Biden stuttered.

Jack Smith’s deposition at the House Judiciary Committee is really something. He wasn‘t free to discuss all of his report, but what he does share is very powerful. The Committee released the transcript, as well as the video of his testimony. Voters put an insurrectionist back in the White House.

Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo says we start a conspiracy theory that Trump’s right hand is fake. It replaces his real, diseased, amputated hand. What do you say? I’m in!

Today’s New York Times story about the Trump administration’s efforts to negotiate a peace between Ukraine and Russia provides ample evidence that our foreign policy is run by clowns and incompetents. And, the story doesn’t even touch on the corrupt business deals they are pursuing with Russia.

Per WSJ, the Mar-A-Lago Spa was sending its young workers “for years” to Epstein’s home to give him private massages while knowing he would expose himself and perhaps abuse them. Oh. “For years.” Release ALL the Epstein files. Now.
December 31, 2025 at 8:01 PM
Colorado Democratic Governor, Jared Polis, has bent over backwards to work with Trump. Today Trump called him a “scumbag” because he won’t release convict Peters. What does that tell you, Governor? You can’t work with Trump. You have to fight him!
December 31, 2025 at 6:38 PM
It was painful watching the Trump and Zelenskyy appearance today. Trump sounded like a moron, praising Putin, and spouting Russian lies. What a dark period of American history. Trump really does want to sellout Ukraine to get “great deals,” with Russia. Obscene.
December 29, 2025 at 3:43 AM
American citizens are getting screwed by this administration and Trump is posting about new marble armrests for the Kennedy Center. How insulting. He is mentally and physically unwell. Congress, do your job. Investigate. He’s nuts. You know it. We all do.
December 27, 2025 at 4:55 PM
Reading Trump’s “Christmas message” just confirms once again he is a disgusting slob, and 100% nuts. At this point, who can deny it? He must be fought at every turn. He should be impeached and removed.
December 25, 2025 at 1:30 PM
So Bari Weiss tanks a 60 Minutes story about the torture prison in El Salvador. What a punk. I guess she’ll be worth that $150 million to Trump and the Ellison family. CBS is dead. Independent journalism has never been so important.

So, you can’t pay your taxes by check anymore. You need to open up a special online account for both the Feds, and in my case, New York State. Had to take my photo! Pain in the butt! Was this a DOGE project?
December 20, 2025 at 4:34 PM
Is any reporter going to ask Trump why he keeps falling asleep during meetings? Or, why he has bandages on his hand? Will someone ask why he was screaming during his TV speech?
December 19, 2025 at 1:58 PM
Promise me: when this miserable administration is out of office there will be prosecutions of Stephen Miller and Russell Vought. Please. If no one else, nail those hateful lowlifes.
December 18, 2025 at 10:34 PM
For the record: when Trump leaves office, or gets incapacitated, or dies, things will change. Fast. The leverage will be gone. The threats over. His sons and Jared Kushner will be shunned and treated as the shameless hacks they have always been. The full record of his crimes will be acknowledged.
