This information from the Washington Post today: "Trump trade adviser says no exceptions for allies on new aluminum and steel tariffs...White House trade adviser Peter Navarro appeared to draw a firm line against case-by-case exemptions as he defended President Trump's sudden imposition of new trade premiums, which are likely to hit Canada and Europe hardest." We've become accustomed, as hard as it is to believe, with this worthless subhuman doing multiple things every single day that would have gotten any other President in history removed from office almost instantly; we're getting to accept that we have to wake up to stories like the piece also in the Post today, referring to Trump's behavior as "pure madness."  But there is another, far more important aspect to this behavior, which is not madness, but the result of cold calculation. I have spoken about this before, but at this point virtually nobody else seems willing to put the pieces to...

The idiocy is really out in force these days.  I'm guessing that, despite all the bluster, the wingnuts really know what is looming ahead for their malignant conspiracy against the country.  So here we go: Allahpundit:  "Dem Rep: Uh, No, I Don’t Want To Ban All Semiautomatic Weapons" This story is all over the wingnut world today:  Another example" Guy Benson, Town Hall:  "House Democrat: Actually, We Should Not Ban All Semi-Automatic Weapons" Benson continues, as you would expect, with one of the great Conservative lies of all time: "the constitution guarantees the right to private gun ownership" But my intention here is not to add one more drop to the ocean of words about guns and the Constitution; rather to once again point out that Republicans are so authoritarian in nature that they just cannot fathom that a Democrat would disagree for one second with the dictated party line.  This sort of capitulation to leaders is the fodder o...

Just a short post to bring to your attention an article today in the Washington Post, by well know Constitutional law professor (and Conservative) Jonathan Turley, regarding the question of whether a sitting President can be indicted without being impeached, which Turley answers in the affirmative. This is the best short analysis of the subject that I have seen in any organ of the mainstream press, and I think it is well worth a read.

I was reading Infidel 753's link roundup for this week, an essential read for me, when I came across the following map .  It shows teacher salaries in the United States: Too tempting to resist comparing it to this one: Blue State vs. Red State Just a coincidence, I guess.

The problem with violence in this country is not too many guns.  It is not a lack of mental health services.  It is not Democrats correctly pointing out how stupid and ignorant the Republican base is, causing Republicans to be very sad.  Here is the real problem: One of the two political parties in the United States exists solely for the purpose of further enriching two or three hundred of the richest families in America.  This is to be accomplished by, essentially, stripping all of the wealth from the remaining 340 million Americans.  In return, these rich families have committed themselves to funding whatever smear campaigns, vote thievery or any other corruption is needed to keep that party in power. Of course, no one who was not a member of those two or three hundred families would have a reason on earth to support such a program.  It became obvious forty or fifty years ago that anyone who paid attention to political reality in the United States c...

Yeah, I know that I am violating my New Years' resolution not to deal with wingnuts any more, but with things getting worse and worse for Trump every day, they are really having to work overtime to keep the lies flowing, so here we go: Let's just start out with a source that doesn't make it into Wingnut Wrapup that much: Mark Theissen, Washington Post:  "Democrats are crippling America’s response to Russian interference" Yes, it's Democrats, DEMOCRATS!  who are crippling America's response to Russian interference!  Because, you see, according to Mark Theissen, a "fellow" at the right wing lie factory The American Enterprise Institute, and therefore fully qualified to be published at one of the top newspapers in the country: "What it does not show is any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Quite the opposite, the indictment shows evidence of a lack of collusion." No rational human being on earth could ...

News just in from an article at Daily Kos.   The article quotes one in the New York Times, but I'm sorry- the New York Times isn't any more deserving of a link these days than Gateway Pundit: "A leading association of political scientists have released the data from their most recent survey and a ratings-obsessed Donald Trump is not going to be happy. They detailed their findings in the New York Times: "James Buchanan, who was at the helm as the United States careened into civil war, was dislodged from his position as our nation’s worst president by our current president, Trump. His Oval Office predecessor, Barack Obama, shot into the Top 10, up from 18th in the previous survey"  Have a nice day, asshole.  By which I mean I hope you are getting a head start on packing for prison so you will be ready if your corrupt party can't keep you out of where you belong.
