May I suggest a fund-raising contest to benefit Democratic candidates?

In one paragraph ( punctuation optional ), state some bit of Corona virus misinformation that is more outrageous, less scientifically valid and more plain old-fashioned stupid than anything ever spewed by Trump.

The entry fee will be $2.70---see what I did there?---and the entrant coming the closest to "out-WTFing" Trump will receive a pair of RayBans actually worn by Joe.

The judges will be Stephen Colbert, Rachel Maddow and Stephen King.

Whatcha think?

Please explain---if you can---why anyone who would not happily attend a Trump rally

would voluntarily listen to anything Chuck Todd has to say.

Regarding all of the Repubs who give their questioning time to Jordan, does he have any special

ability besides the fact that he is the nastiest and most shameless and arrogant twit on the panel?

July 28, 2020

In general, I support Rep. Nadler, HOWEVER-----

---why in hell did he allow Jordan to violate both his allotted time period AND THE ADOPTED POLICIES OF THE COMMITTEE regarding audio-visual exhibits!?!? Specifically, after Jordan's entire 10 minute or so selectively edited video was played, Nadler announced that Jordan had not provided the "required" (really?) 48 hour advance notice!

Jordan just pissed on you, Mr. Nadler, and you have responded with "tsk-tsk"!

The torch that John Lewis has passed shines far brighter than all the

Tiki torches ever lit and brandished in a parade of racists.

A simple question for those who believe that Trump is even marginally sane and competent:

what color is the sky in the world you live in?

July 24, 2020

To the aides, consultants, assistants, deputies and other Trump underlings dreaming of

being elevated to "Groom of the Stool": stick a fork in him---he's done.

In a mere handful of months, your Golden Gaffe will no longer be worshipped. He will have been evicted---forcibly, I hope---from our White House and---let this sink in deeply---he will no longer have any authority to cover your ass. If you assist him in his efforts to leave only scorched earth behind him, you will have earned a new title: "accomplice".

And, just as surely as "Tiny Hands" is going go wind up in a federal institution of some kind---a penitentiary or psychiatric hospital---we are also going to know what you're eating and where you're sleeping for several years. OR---

---you could practice decency for a change and refuse to do anything Trump orders that is illegal, immoral or even questionable. For good measure, you could retain competent counsel to assist you in claiming "whistleblower" protections and make like a canary---sing, sing, sing.

You may already be deep in the well of complicity, but there is still a small circle of light up above that offers the chance of escape. That circle will continue to shrink until January. And, then, it will be forever closed.
