I heard it on Fox so it must be true…
I recently encountered a troll on a friend’s page. Continue reading “I heard it on Fox so it must be true…”

The Art of Distraction…
On the morning of Friday, January 25, 2019, dark and early, NPR popped up on my clock radio and Steve Inskeep said the following words: “Roger Stone is set to appear in federal court. He was arrested in Florida.” Continue reading “The Art of Distraction…”
Spin is everything…
Up till now, news in the Age of Trump has broken on Friday, too late for anyone to pay attention because they’re commuting home, burned out from another week fighting the dumpster fire our nation’s become. They’re too busy trying to reclaim their lives on the weekend, pretending that the house isn’t falling apart around them.
So it will come as no surprise to anyone paying attention that the news of Mueller’s pending indictment(s) came on Friday. What’s different is the way people have reacted since that news broke. Reactions ranging from “it’s nothing” to “they GOT the son of a bitch” have been all over my FB feed and on Twitter. Those who Know how slowly the gears of justice grind have cautioned folks to adopt a “wait and see” approach. Continue reading “Spin is everything…”
How long till it all blows up?
Okay, I’m busy trying to mess with my office machines, but I can’t let this go.
First it was Flynn, then Sessions. And now J. D. Gordon has come out in USAToday (source coming soon) to say that Trump himself knew about the change to the Republican National Committee’s platform to soften the rhetoric on Russia and the Ukraine.
Riddle me this, Batman: Is there ANYONE in Trump’s current administration, or (in fact) ANY part of the GOP not tainted through the Russians? Continue reading “How long till it all blows up?”
Asking for a friend…
I keep seeing variations on a theme on my FB wall and elsewhere regarding protesters being late to the party and that we should stop blaming the people who voted third party and heal ourselves through compassion. This is the response I wrote to the direct question on my wall, to answer a question from a friend. Continue reading “Asking for a friend…”
Fascism Denial…
Decades from now, will we remember all the warnings? Will we even be able to find the evidence that was there?
In the last few days, since the start of the 115th Congress, there have been reports all over the internet of rules changed to favor the GOP, to give them the power to strip away protections that keep our citizens healthy and safe.
None of these steps are new. Not one. Continue reading “Fascism Denial…”
I just don’t have time right now…
But that doesn’t matter, because time moves on whether I like it or not.
So here are two raw links. Read everything, including the sublinks.
What comes after January 20, 2017 is on you.
Dear liberal friends: you do not have the tools to fight Trump.

I’ll be back soon to write the posts I’ve got sitting in drafts.
Go do your homework.
Aftermath (Part 1): And so it ends…
Dear Reader,
You’ve gotten this far, so it’s likely that you can find all the ways in which I predicted the outcome of this year’s Presidential election. There isn’t anyone as clear on the subject as Jim Wright, so I will let him tell you what I think of the situation, at least in part. Stonekettle Station: Bug Hunt
There. Got that all out of your system?
Excellent. Continue reading “Aftermath (Part 1): And so it ends…”
Storm’s here (Part Two)…
And from here on out, I’m live on Facebook, and will post updates below.
I’m devoting all my time right now to updating my spreadsheet.
When I’ve finished, I’ll post my results to 270towin.com, but there’s no point in putting the link up now.
ETA: 1:43am EST – http://www.270towin.com/maps/36n0N (My best guess as of this moment.)
Folks, I don’t think I can watch anymore. I’m going to go to bed and try to sleep.
I just want people to remember, when they look back at tonight, that the polls this year were WORTHLESS. They lied, just the way I said they would.
They didn’t take into account independents, and that’s where they went wrong. The pundits won’t admit this fault in the logic, but that’s where it lies.
And for the record, yes, Jill Stein did have an effect. She cost us Pennsylvania, if it comes down to the wire in that state.
