Some of the gaslighting Republicans try to do in relation to Unidicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio’s Russian Treason Plot is to deny that there is any Quid Pro Quo, This For That. Like pushing “Collusion”, which is not a crime, as a substitute for “Conspiracy”, which is, they’ll claim that Russian aid during the 2016 Election …

Bigots And Racists All The Way Down
The story goes like this- someone (presumably Chinese but it’s not important) asks a Chinese Philosopher (see, that’s why I think the questioner is probably Chinese), “What holds up the world?” So the Philosopher thinks about it a bit and says, “The World rests on the back of a Giant Turtle”, which was a fairly …

Redefining Radical
In defiance of Election Losing “Pragmatists” I’ve been saying for years that Democratic Policy Proposals are, in most respects and especially economic ones, cowardly craven sellouts to Monopoly MegaCorps and Thieving Billionaires. Instead the Democrats have escalated Identity Politics as a substitute for true Social Justice, dangling shiny objects while ignoring the root causes of …

Big Day For Brexit
Tomorrow the British Parliament will finally take a vote on Theresa May’s Brexit Plan. It is all but certain to fail, the biggest question is the magnitude of the failure. I would vote against it, not because it’s necessarily bad though it’s not a gift to the UK Economy (which it will likely trash almost …

Well, actually the title is just “Urgent”. Foreigner- Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio has just announced that he’s not going to declare a “National Emergency” so he can build his Vanity Project Penis Wall O’ Racisim… Today.

Why we have the FDA and the Pure Food and Drug Act.
Upton Sinclair– When Jurgis had first inspected the packing plants with Szedvilas, he had marveled while he listened to the tale of all the things that were made out of the carcasses of animals, and of all the lesser industries that were maintained there; now he found that each one of these lesser industries was …

You know the thing about Chaos? It’s fair.
Chaos is usually defined as a situation where things are changing rapidly in unpredictable ways. Alas Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio is all too predictable. Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught …

Boo Boo
I’m sitting here trying to think of things Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio is smarter than. A rock? No, he’s dumber than a Box of Rocks. A hammer? No, he’s dumber than a Bag of Hammers. He’s dumber than surfing in Nebraska. If he had another brain, it would be lonely. He has less going on …

Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio Holds Breath, Stomps Feet
And in other news, dog bites man. Film at 11. Sigh. I was hoping to spare you any further discussion of last night’s pitiful performance but this afternoon Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio, during a meeting with Pelosi and Schumer to discuss “compromise” on his Vanity Project Penis Wall O’ Racism, sat down, turned to Pelosi …

Manafort Unredacted
Yesterday Paul Manafort’s lawyers released the filing they made to contend that Manafort didn’t violate his co-operation agreement with Bob Mueller (it is overall an incredibly weak argument that basically asserts that Manafort didn’t actually lie, he simply said he did not remember). What makes it significant is that they incompletely redacted the document and …
