One thing I admired about Bush’s 2004 campaign was that he was unwavering in his messaging on Iraq. Sure, it was already turning into a disaster, but he just kept up 3 points: Saddam was a bad man, removing him made America safer, and it was part of the War on Terror. You might be […]

Trump talked to the President of Taiwan on December 2, but since at least November 16 there have been news reports about Trump seeking to do business in Taiwan. Even if he hands the business over to his children, no reasonable observer could believe that he will be disinterested in the fortunes of business enterprises […] Donaldik Fyodorvich spoke on the phone with the President of Taiwan. This is, apparently, a highly unusual move, to say the least. If you ask me whether I think Taiwan ought to be able to sit at the Big Kids’ Table, I will say that my personal opinion is yes. However, if you ask me […] I think this video may be the purest expression of the fever swamp since Birtherism. Meanwhile, Kevin Drum reports that Trump said crime in Cincinnati is at a 45 year high. The only problem is that the FBI says the exact opposite. I have liberal friends expressing their shock that such a man could be […] Kevin Drum’s comments on Trump’s latest Twitter outburst have me cracking up with laughter…until I remember that this shit is real. I still wake up each morning thinking it can’t really be true that Donald Trump will be president of the United States in less than eight weeks. I mean, he’s…he’s—he’s a willfully ignorant crackpot. […] There’s only one place where Donaldik Fyodorvich will face meaningful opposition, and that is the Senate, at least as long as filibusters exist. There are 33 Senate seats up for election in 2018, 23 of them are held by Democrats, 2 are held by independents who caucus with the Democrats, and only 8 are held […] It occurs to me that the Trump Administration may be the most transparently corrupt in a long time, and largely because the man may not actually want the job. To explain what I mean, let’s contrast Trump with Cheney: Aside from possible violations involving the secrecy of things like the energy task force (not so […] There have been allegations that voting machines may have been hacked in several key swing states. The key to the argument seems to be differences in results between counties with certain types of electronic voting machines and other counties that used either paper ballots or optical scanners. 538 has cast doubt on the argument, and […] With all of the potential for conflicts of interest between Trump’s business holdings and his work as President, I’m sure that James Comey will consistently act out of an abundance of caution, and the House will have its investigative committees working at full speed. Right? Um, right? Goddamnit. A lot of people talk about the National Popular Vote Initiative as an end-run around the electoral college. In short, the idea is for a coalition of states with 270 electoral votes between them to enter into a compact that their electoral votes will go to the winner of the popular vote. I don’t quite […] |
