Retired from UC Irvine. I worked with smart people who won Nobel Prizes and with Peter Navarro too. I learned things. I taught things. I built things. It was nice. Pro-democracy by default.

While Trump is ordering the FBI to investigate U.S. Senators over a video reminding military members they don’t have to follow illegal orders, it might be worth noting that β€œI was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

β€œMarjorie Taylor Greene will resign two days after she is fully vested in the congressional retirement system” is another way of putting it.

I find these shows with some right wing asshole spewing garbage and shouting back-and-forth with some one with common sense to be the most annoying at least productive things ever.

Trump praised Zohran Mamdani as good for NYC before Chuck Schumer did. Think about that.

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

A white person. Standard run of the mill colonial white person.

It doesn’t take much work, just a little empathy and self-control, for us not to act this way.

Here’s how Trump is going to give people $2000…

He’s gonna send you a check for $12,000 and all you have to do is send him back $10,000…

There could be a Nigerian prince involved.

Is there any reason why, had that young man kicked Clay Higgins in the nuts after being assaulted, there would’ve been any negative consequences to the young man?

This is what everyone on Social Security tells me happens every time there’s a cost-of-living increase in Social Security.

As a Californian who voted yes on prop 50, I can’t help but snicker about the failed illegal Texas gerrymander being the impetus to create prop 50, but I don’t know why that’s bad for Democrats yet.

I’m sure the New York Times Washington Post will tell us.

It’s the modeling agencies and the pageant agencies…this isn’t rocket science… the entire industry is clearly a perversion factory.

Wealthy and powerful people get bored and need perversion, history tells us.

Recalled US ambassador felt 'threatened' by Trump Marie Yovanovitch said Mr Trump's remark in a call to Ukraine's leader left her "very concerned".

Looks like I mis-remembered the quote, which was [she] β€œ will be going through some thingsβ€œ in reference to the Ukrainian ambassador when Trump was being impeached (that time).
