The primary reason why Southern United States culture and Spartan culture are so similar is that both societies lived in existential fear their Slaves would rise up and murder them in their sleep. Which is actually a pretty outstanding idea, that’s why John Brown tried to raid the Harper’s Ferry Army Depot- to steal the …

Impeachment After Dark
Pretty much to form. Republicans have no defense and nothing to say, they were stupid to waste the time and they are being stupid again today when if they could stop their Showboating and Verbal Diarrhea they could chop 2 days off the schedule which they say they want to do.

Why Don’t We Buy Greenland?
Is Elon Musk bribing our Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio or what? A Tunnel? A Tunnel?! This is going to connect the (much reduced) West Bank to Gaza. Too moronic to dignify. A totally transparent attempt to distract from Bibi’s and UCcBP’s incredibly serious legal problems by proposing a horrifically bad idea. Trump unveils Middle East …

Impeachment: Senate Trial 1.28.2020
Today is the last of the 3 days allowed under the rules for Opening Statements from Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio’s defense team. Like Herod, I am unimpressed.

Impeachment: Senate Trial 1.27.2020
One thing that people are not paying attention to is that by only consuming 2 – 3 hours on Saturday, the Republican Managers have forfeited up to 6 hours of their 24 total given the 3 day restriction unless they want to run waaay late. I suppose I can catch the boys on YouTube. Of …
