Before making my comment, let me be clear:  I live in Adam Schiff's district.  I worked on his first Congressional campaign, and have always supported him.  There is not a single person in the House who was as forthright in the attempt to stop Donald Trump's rogue Presidency, and nobody who was as brave in standing up to the inevitable Republican attacks and smears.  I really like Katie Porter, but in the end, there was nobody who deserves the chance to move up to the Senate the way he does.  So why has he now seemingly stabbed the party in the back by apparently demanding that Joe Biden, the most successful President since FDR, drop out of the Presidential race, with no known person who could replace him and have a chance of winning the election? Well, I have two reasons.  Take your pick, or come up with another one if you can. First of all, Adam Schiff, like Chuck Schumer, represents one of the two main financial centers of the United States.  Both cities are chock full of bi

 Here is something important that I think has been lost in all of the talk about the (very likely staged) supposed shooting at Donald Trump at his Pennsylvania rally the other day. Before Making my remarks, I want to dwell briefly on why I believe I am qualified to say what I have to claim here.  I have two qualifications:  First and least of all, I have been counting crowds at demonstrations and rallies since the Vietnam protest days, when I learned that you could not trust mainstream media accounts of the number of attendees.  Second, and more important, is my 38 year career in film and TV production.  Why this is important, I will make clear below. Anyway, here, courtesy of the BBC, is an aerial photo of the rally site: And here is a rough plan (not to scale) of what you see above: Over the course of my film career, I have had to create the appearance of large crowds in the background of the principal action, say at a baseball game or other large event.  Of course, it's always a

 And who gives a flying fuck? I mean, of course I am speaking for myself- Trump will never experience the misery he deserves because of his lifelong subhuman behavior.  No, I am just saying this:  I have a feeling that the American people are just about fed up with this asshole's antics.  I don't think anything he does or that happens to him can really increase the number of fools who still think he is a decent human being.   In fact, I am predicting that this latest idiocy (and who knows how real it was, anyway?) will just drain away a few more drops of the remaining patience that Americans have with his clown show.  I think people have had it with the nonsense and the stress he imposes on us all.  Let's see what kind of circus he mounts at the Republican convention.  I suspect that all the free chances he is going to get to expose himself in public will actually, in the long run, diminish him.  Get yourself shot in the ear, get yourself stabbed or beaten, rave like a luna

 Here's a very brief post aimed at those fools that think that if Joe Biden is forced out of the Presidential race (yeah, they are still out there howling out their demands for capitulation,) Kamala Harris would be able to run an issue oriented campaign and beat Trump.  My following of right wing sites is much restricted these days, but here is an item I found on a wingnut website yesterday (no link, for obvious reasons.) "Thurs. 11 July 2024 Journalist Tucker Carlson has released multiple videos showing footage of US Vice President Kamala Harris working as a prostitute." I haven't found any of these alleged videos (of course they do not exist, because Kamala Harris is not a prostitute,) but this is the level of campaign they would run against her if she were the Democratic nominee.  So, give up the idiotic idea that any Democrat who dares run against Trump is going to be free from obscenities like this, and will be able to focus on the issues.  Remember Hillary eatin

Have their memories all been erased?  Listen, don't you guys remember "but her e-mails?"  Don't you remember Benghazi? Don't you remember the Obama birth certificate?  Don't you remember the Swift Boat lies?  Don't you remember how Al Gore supposedly claimed to have invented the internet?  Don't you remember Jimmy Carter and the Republican Iran Hostage Rescue sabotage?     Every single Democratic Presidential candidate comes up against monstrous lies like this, spread over and over again by sociopathic Republican billionaires, and here we go again, with the current hateful campaign of lies about Biden's health.  When will people like the miserable John Warner and even the likes of Paul Krugman stop falling for the inevitable campaign of malignant lies directed toward every Democrat? Now we see cowardly so-called Democrats stabbing the greatest President since FDR in the back, as the result of a two-week propaganda campaign by the same Republicans t

 I have spent decades depressed by the gutlessness of Democrats, but I am still stunned by the readiness of so many supposed liberals to turn their backs on Biden's incredible record as President and throw him to the wolves over a supposed bad debate performance, which means absolutely nothing.  Can Democrats really be stupid enough to believe that if Joe can be driven out of the race, Republicans will treat the next Democratic nominee with total fairness and run a campaign based on the issues?  Can there be a Democrat idiotic enough to think that the Republicans are not prepared to go to work on day one with the same pile of lies and smears against any possible Democratic nominee?   I want to remind people of what happened in the 2016 election, when Republican dirty tricks and collusion with Russia cost Hillary the White House.  Here is an image I compiled at that time of the covers of tabloids from the 2016 election, showing the kind of treatment Hillary received.  And remember,
