Posted on February 20, 2021 Leave a Comment
When lots of people vote, Democrats win. Just ask President Joe Biden, with his nearly 8 million vote margin over Donald Trump. So naturally, Republicans are doing all they can to stop voters they fear will vote for Team Blue from taking part in the electoral process. Since the November election, Republican officials in 33 […]
Trump has ruined our inauguration celebration

It used to be that the people of the United States looked at presidential inaugurations with a sense of pride. But like just about everything else he touches, Donald Trump has broken that, too. Even if your candidate lost, you knew the inauguration was momentous — the views of the buildings in Washington, D.C., the […]
Trump finally got his ‘American carnage’
Posted on January 7, 2021 2 Comments
In his inaugural address in January 2017, Donald Trump promised to end “American carnage.” As his (thankfully single) term in office is about to end, he finally figured out a way to get his deranged followers to deliver that carnage. As the world watched in horror, thousands of Trump supporters from such white supremacy and […]
Stay in Mar-a-Lago, Trump. No one wants you back. (UPDATE)

Donald Trump is spending Christmas the way he has spent much of his presidency: tweeting, golfing, being lazy, and ignoring the hard work of being president while trying to destroy the efforts of leaders actually carving out policy. Over his four years (thankfully coming to an end soon) as president, Trump has played a total […]

Well, that’s refreshing. The men and women President-Elect Joe Biden has chosen for his Cabinet and Cabinet-level posts so far not only look like America, as he promised, but also are capable of doing their jobs in a way to reassert America’s standing in the world and to reassure U.S. allies that they will no […]

With the news that PRESIDENT-ELECT Joe Biden has taken the lead in votes in Georgia and Pennsylvania, it’s now clear that the Donald Trump era in America will soon be coming to an end. Adding those two states’ counts to Biden’s total puts Biden over the 270 Electoral College votes he needs to win the […]

The Donald Trump show has jumped the shark. After four years of watching Trump in his natural habitat of bad TV, U.S. voters are ready to tell him that his show is canceled. Yes, it’s still possible that Trump might win the election on Nov. 3, which is now less than three weeks away. Possible, […]
How does the $750 tax man spend $70,000 on that hair?
Posted on September 28, 2020 Leave a Comment
The bombshell story from The New York Times on Donald Trump’s taxes is filled with appalling revelations about tax avoidance, likely tax fraud, dodgy deductions, failed businesses, vast write-offs, infusions of questionable foreign funds, and much, much more. But the item that most struck me was the report of how much he spent on his […]
