Coming Back Around I'm not feeling well enough today to come up with any original thoughts, so how about looking at some old ones with a few updates? This post...

Looking at some old print ads and wondering if they're coming back...

Periodic reminder that Congress could stop this administration TODAY if they wanted to, and yet they don’t.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Maybe he shouldn’t be appointing unqualified morons in the first place.

They sure wouldn’t be withholding good news…

That’s the GOP… won’t help out their own people without extracting a pound of flesh from someone else.

He’s a moron, just like his boss.

I Thank You I’d like to take this opportunity during this Thanksgiving Week to give thanks for things that make my life better. First, I want to thank...

I think it would be easier to obtain all the Infinity Stones, put them into the gauntlet, and snap your fingers for a complete reset than to fix each abomination Trump has created one by one

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Epstein's Revenge Don’t be alarmed by that giant crrrracking sound! It’s merely the wall around the Epstein documents crumbling down around the ankles of the ...

I’m not sure what planet she’s from, but a basic reading of just those first 3 emails shows that TFG was up to his eyeballs in teen girls. They show he knew about it, he participated in it, and we can all see from his Admin’s actions, they’re covering it up.

Retreat and Regroup I was as surprised as anyone last night when the news came out that the Senate had the votes to end the shutdown. And I’ll admit that I was ...

What I worry about now is whether this “promised” vote will ever happen, and if it does, how are the Republicans going to put their thumb on the scales? Adding poison-pill amendments? Raising the threshold for passage?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

As usual, Republicans want to inflict maximum damage on the American people and rely on Democrats to have the conscience that they lack themselves, and end the suffering.

Should have been done decades ago (for stocks, anyway). Ought to be done immediately.

Winging It This week’s Big Distraction from Releasing the Epstein Files is brought to you by the Destruction of the East Wing of the White House. (Spon...

Republicans bring up that the new ballroom is being paid for by the private sector. That does not make me feel better at all. That just means that the Grift House is open for business. They may as well call it the Olde Quid Pro Quo Room.

No Jokers Either Like 6,999,998 other Americans, my wife and I went to a No Kings rally last Saturday. Ours was just a small one, a few blocks from our house...

The lengths they’re going to label these protests as terror-related or anti-American only shows how scared they are of the will of the people. They can’t make any claims that hold up to scrutiny, so they make stuff up that sounds scary to the uninformed.

Character Witnesses It’s about time we got someone with some strategic chops to run things on the progressive side. Last week, a leader emerged; someone with cr...

If Fox "News" and the conservative-media bubble can run a continuous loop of Portland fires from years ago, or uprisings in Colombia, and pass them off as current events, then we should plaster the media with images like this:

Arranging the Chess Pieces Last week's forced gathering of all the military generals was one of the scariest events I could have imagined. And I'm jus tglad it wasn't ...

Whiskey Pete also decreed that there be no facial hair in the military. (Technical term: beardos.”) Don’t think for a second that’s about efficiency or uniformity. This is completely about ridding the services of people of color and non-Christians.

Saw him in 1985 and he knocked my socks off. Best guitarist I've ever seen.

This guy won't be happy until the Constitution is in ashes.

This is government via shakedown, and it fits completely with this administration’s MO. “You want something from us? You gotta pay. Don’t worry, we’ll figure out how.” I can see this as the new normal.

TFG has his own loyal army now, each soldier with no identity, no official orders, and no oversight. All they have to do is be loyal, instill fear, and kidnap some people from public streets, schools, churches, courthouses, and Home Depot parking lots..

I'll admit that many will not be too broken up if a certain orange charlatan takes one too many bites of well-done steak, a chunk of cholesterol breaks off and lodges in a cardiac artery. But no one is actually condoning violence.

First of all, there’s a zero percent chance that TFG wrote that message about the drug boat. He wouldn’t know a “kinetic strike” from Connect Four.

In fact, when my wife left a note asking me to go get her some gas in the gas can, I was like, “A quest! The Fair Maiden needs my help! I shall go forth and return with a tankard of liquid fire!”

Last Wednesday, when I logged into my weekly one-on-one with the boss, she had an HR person with her, which is never a good sign.

While I’m against g'mandering in general, I’m even more against being a sucker and letting GOP pull every trick in the book to amass and consolidate power that will last for generations, while we take the moral high ground right to a permanent minority status
