This post was added as a needed sorbet from posts about our oxygen-sucking idiotocratic national leadership, who continue to pile stupid upon stupid and corrupt upon corrupt.

“Lies Are Like Oxygen”
I have to admit this singular fact. That Trumpf has been open and honest about a few specific things over what has become our interminable national nightmare. He did boast about not properly paying his taxes. And he described his technique of greeting attractive women wherein he’ll “just grab them by the pussy.” Both trueContinue reading ““Lies Are Like Oxygen””

“Cheating Life: A Memoir”
Right-wing journalists often use obfuscating wiggle words around Trump saying things like, “he’s the most consequential president of the modern age.” You know what’s also consequential?

What our high school and college curriculaContinue reading ““Trivialities””

When you think about is, there are many similarities between the people and dealings on Epstein Island and those in the hallowed halls of our government in Washington, DC, particularly in the Trump 2.0 era. Let’s call the latter Trump Island. The difference is really one of emphasis. Epstein lured rich and powerful men intoContinue reading ““A Tale of Two Islands””

“Agents of Destruction, Then and Now”
Trump is a weapon of mass distraction and destruction. Everything he touches turns to shit. By dint of a stolen seat and the untimely death of RBG, the Supreme Court has massively elevated the powers of the presidency (they also gutted voting rights and greenlit corporate take-over of elections) at a time when one ofContinue reading ““Agents of Destruction, Then and Now””
