All Russia, All The Time
I’m not as alarmed as some because the U.S. System is so screwed up that even the major native Political Parties (Democrats since 1828 and Andy Jackson, they’ve really backed some reprehensible people and policies; and Republicans since 1854 and John C. Frémont, ironic they’re the modern face of Racism) can’t get it right. I’ve …

The Grand Bargaineers
Damn right we want a Revolution. As Atrios puts it (a bit more colorfully than I) not cutting the Entitlements you’ve been paying for your whole life in order to give the money to Billionaires is Revolutionary!

What seems like a generic campaign …

Move Over Joe Biden
These Republican Lite ConservaDems are just a laugh factory. Uncle Joe is losing mojo to Mayo Mike not just in the Polls, but also in the contest for 2020 Gaffe (Gaffe defined as accidentally telling the Truth as opposed to politely lying about what you really think) Champion. Seriously Mike, Farmers and Factory Workers? There …

Medicare For All!
John Oliver is finally back and he kicks off with a piece about ‘Medicare For All’. He correctly points out at least 2 major points, one of which is ‘Medicare’ is kind of a misnomer because that program leaves out a lot of Health Services and requires Co-Pays while ‘Medicaid’, the one it most resembles, …
