Instead of Doing Anything Valuable, the DOJ Is Trying to Recast Richard Nixon as the Victim of Watergate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you get in these people, when you … get these people in, say: “Look, the problem is that this will open the whole, the whole Bay of Pigs thing, and the president just feels that” ah, without going into the details … don’t, don’t lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre, without getting into it, “the president believes that it is going to open the whole Bay of Pigs thing up again. And, ah, because these people are plug
Trump Has Just Given What Might Be His Most Unstable Interview Yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Time's big interview with the president does not fill me with confidence as regards our nation's stability, or his own. If you think that the president and his interviewers are communicating across the barrier from two different realities, you're not alone. Which calls to mind a quote from our new Never Trump pal Karl Rove, who has not drawn a breath in his life in which he didn't do something to make politics worse. Back when President W. was riding high, author Ron Suskind published an intervi
MAGA Farm Owners Are Finally Seeing the Consequences of Voting for a Deranged President Who Wants to Deport Their Workforce (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(Permanent Musical Accompaniment to This Post) Being our semi-regular weekly survey of what’s goin’ down in the several states where, as we know, the real work of governmentin’ gets done, and where they bring them to the factory where the heart-attack machine is strapped across their shoulders. We begin this week by complimenting the state of Tennessee for its boldness in committing an act of state-sponsored medievalism. From The Tennessean: As of Thursday morning, Christa Pike is believed to st

Read excerpt
The history of the president's political career is so thoroughly shot through with various Russians that it's a wonder that the Bolshoi isn't doing three shows a night in the East Room. It is, of course, all a hoax according to the administration. That lasts until the next Volga Bagman shows up in the news. We're all still digesting the news that a Russian oligarch paid for the after-party at Junior's wedding, and here comes the good folks at the International Consortium of Investigative Journal
Right-Wing “Intellectuals” Really Want Us to Live in a Corporate Hellscape (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Remember ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, that intellectual chop shop responsible for modeling corporate-friendly laws for state legislators too lazy to do their own jobs? Well, it’s still beavering away at its work, which has been largely obscured by the grotesque scandals of the current moment. From The New Republic: Well, this is not very business-friendly, is it? This cannot stand! This, of course, is merely one front in the oligarchical Right’s assault on the public commons.
