I mean seriously, why isn’t representation knocking down my door? This is Hollywood gold! Those pesky Pottsylvanians Russians keep coming back to haunt Trump By Paul Waldman, Washington Post January 8, 2019 This case doesn’t have anything directly to do with the president or his family, but it does serve as more evidence of Veselnitskaya’s …

AOC
If you’re like me (and nobody is, I am unique!) when you think of AOC you think of Computer Monitors of which I’ve owned several, some of which are still in service. My last acquisition was a 15.6″ 1920 x 1080 Portable USB unit (AOC I1659FWUX 15.6″). It’s not the best one I have but …

We’ve Known This For a Long Time
The Dunning-Kruger Effect. What’s behind the confidence of the incompetent? This suddenly popular psychological phenomenon. By Angela Fritz, Washington Post January 7, 2019 In their 1999 paper, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, David Dunning and Justin Kruger put data to what has been known by philosophers since Socrates, who supposedly said …

Desperation In A Losing Position
So Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio wants to interrupt your Tuesday night Prime Time with an address that a growing number of people say should not be carried at all on the Broadcast Networks unless vetted and fact checked (the very foundation of it is a racist lie). I guess it’s a bridge too far even …

A Change To Our Language Policy
Well, it’s not a policy so much as a guideline. TMC thinks using certain words where search engines can see them reduces our audience exposure (not that either of us care) and she rightly suspects me of having a potty mouth. It’s true. I’m reliably informed by a random Intertubz Quiz that I swear like …

I Want To Be A Real Boy
Faux and Fiends, Anne Coulter, and Rush Limbaugh are not the only people whispering in Unidicted Co-Conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio’s ear. Why Is Trump Spouting Russian Propaganda? by David Frum, The Atlantic Jan 3, 2019 Donald Trump convened a Cabinet meeting, at which he invited all its members to praise him for his stance on the …

Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Livestream from the Well of the House- So, yay us? Nancy is a fighter, well suited to take it to Unidicted Co-conspirator Trump. There is probably no one better. The problem is that despite the constant demonization by Republicans, Pelosi is not particularly “Progressive” let alone Left. Frankly she has some very stupid ideas about …

What’s the matter with Bibi?
The United States is not the only country with a Criminal in Chief. Benjamin Netanyahu (who just called snap elections and is favored to win) is under increasing pressure in at least 3 corruption cases and is almost certainly guilty. Vox has a summary. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu could be indicted. Here’s what you need …

What Are You Going To Do? Assemble A Cabinet At Them?
Today Unindicted Co-conspirator Trump is holding 2 big meetings. The second one is the Group of Eight meeting with the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate. It’s the one people have been talking about because it’s being held in the high security Situation Room instead of one of the more usual spaces. …

A Year In CP Time
One of the reasons why I no longer do Sausage Grinder of Snark is that I think the site runs at a quite sprightly pace, seldom are there more than yesterday’s and today’s posts on the page (unless you push ‘Fetch More’ or shop the Most Recent List which goes back about a week), TMC …

Year In Review
Perhaps you’re looking for something introspective and deep but it’s a bad time of year for that. Concentrating on the futility of the past is contraindicated for me my Therapist says, instead I should focus on the future. Which… is bleak. I expect the enormous criminality of Republicans both in policy and personally to be …

The Emails Of 2020
Sure we have legitimate news today. Elizabeth Warren has announced she’s forming an exploratory committee for 2020. She’s not my personal favorite at the moment because she has serious gaping Left flaws but she’s a damn sight more Left than Uncle Joe “Anita Hill” Biden. It did not take 5 minutes for MSNBC to raise …
