The brutal truth

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.”

― John Lydgate

Hardball politics is OK...

..if Mitch does it but if the Dems bring a bigger knife to the fight, it's a call to arms. He is a hypocritical so and so...


"McConnell got McConnelled," said Brookings Institution senior fellow William Galston, noting the Kentucky Republican's long use of hardball tactics to block Democratic initiatives, including former President Barack Obama's appointment of a Supreme Court justice in 2016.

McConnell sidestepped questions about the political maneuver but told Reuters in a brief interview that Democrats would regret moving forward on the legislation. Among other things, the legislation sets a 15% minimum tax rate on corporations and promotes electric vehicles.

"It's an unmitigated disaster for the country and we're going to fight it as hard as we can," McConnell said.

I really hope DOJ ends it

I've about reached my saturation point with the right. The more revelations the Committee uncovers, the farther right they get. And it's just crazy shit. Accusing the Democrats of destroying the country when it's them who have already destroyed it.

If DOJ ever finishes what it started, perhaps that will end it.

Fox News Sunday broke tradition

They usually bring in the liars who tell viewers what they want them to hear. Was surprised they let Cheney on the show.

The case against Trump is complicated...

..beyond my comprehension.

But if the Department of Justice starts assertively mounting a criminal investigation of Trump, it could create delays in other Jan. 6-related trials because defense attorneys for hundreds of defendants could demand access to much of the evidence against Trump as part of the discovery process.


“It’s messy. It’s a headache. And it’s a huge undertaking,” said Pace University law professor Bennett Gershman, a leading expert on so-called discovery practices in criminal cases.

I'm wondering if Trump has an exit plan...

..if he sees indictment as inevitable?

It's official...

..Trump lost and he knew it.

"Accuse the opposition of that which...

..you are guilty."

On Conservative Radio, Misleading Message Is Clear: ‘Democrats Cheat’

Election fraud claims from 2020 are widespread on talk radio, contributing to the belief that the midterm results cannot be trusted.

In Lafayette, La., Carol Ross, host of “The Ross Report,” questioned how Democrats could win a presidential election again after a tumultuous few years in power. “They’re going to have to cheat again,” she said. “You know that. There will be rampant cheating.”
