Wow, MSNBC sets you off, doesn't it? I intentionally stuck to cold hard facts to avoid this kind of response. It's not hard to determine that this is the worst leadership crisis since the Civil War. All you have to do is count the number of days the House has been without a speaker. That's all...

They want every US citizen to vote, even as Republicans consistently engage in voter suppression. The more citizens that show up to vote or vote by mail, the better, they believe. They also believe no one who is ineligible to be on the ballot should be on the ballot. A person who has not...

An Important 14th Amendment Legal Point Has Been Made "On Friday, Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace rejected three arguments by Trump and the Colorado GOP to dismiss the case before the scheduled October 30 trial date. One of the most powerful points the judge made was rebuffing the...

Trump: "Powell Was Never My Attorney" After Sidney Powell recorded a proffer tape, pleaded guilty, and agreed to testify (flipped) in the GA RICO case, Trump comes out to say Powell was never his attorney. He correctly points out that Powell's name never appeared on any court documents filed...

And Then There Were Nine With the US House speaker's chair still vacant, House Republicans are meeting Monday, 6:30 PM Eastern Time to decide which of the nine new candidates for the job will get the nod. These meetings have not gone particularly well in the last couple weeks. What might be...

I think you do.

I'm not going to debate the details of something neither you nor I can know. Suffice it to say both candidates, by virtue of their age, are at risk for a variety of health conditions, including a debilitating stroke or death.

Historical Perspective The current Republican House leadership collapse should not be viewed in isolation. Historical context is helpful. Two points from these MSNBC guests: There has not been a leadership crisis as serious as this in the US House since before the Civil War. This is a feature...

Polls now are irrelevant except as they apply to the Republican primary horse race. They say nothing about how people will actually vote over a year from now. Given their ages and health, we don't even know if Trump and Biden will be candidates. Court cases are highly relevant. They determine...

This could be a long discussion with little fruit. I will say, I enthusiastically agree with "Disband the (federal) DOE," not for any social reasons, but because it consumes massive amounts of money without providing demonstrable benefits to students. American education may not improve if we...

Another Trial Regarding Trump The Colorado 14th Amendment trial begins Oct. 30. Trump's motion to dismiss was denied. This is not a criminal trial and Trump is not a defendant in this case. It is a lawsuit to answer the question raised by the plaintiffs about Trump's eligibility to be on the...

I read the article. While on the site, I scanned a few others as well. All I can say is, wow! A dozen Republicans immediately rise to torpedo his chance, but they have no one else to offer after Jordan crashed and burned in a humiliating defeat dealt to him by Republicans. There are growing...

Donald Trump drove, frightened or grossed most people out who did not agree with him. Donald Trump happened to the big tent. Few non-Trumpers remain and those who do are silent or stripped of influence.

verbal harassment and death threats are both verbal. The difference is a difference in degree. One is a serious crime. The other may or may not be a crime depending on the circumstances. And if it is a crime, it is less serious with lesser penalties.
