Kamala Harris’s 2020 campaign fell flat, and political observers criticized her campaigning as inept. She apparently learned from her mistakes, because four years later she’s grown as a campaigner. She ate Trump’s lunch in their debate, she’s campaigned on issues that resonat[...]

Can “Trump Media” traders do math?
“There are lies, damned lies, and statistics,” the bromide goes. But statistics don’t have to be manipulated to mislead you; all you have to do is misinterpret them. So it is with Trump Media stock, ticker symbol DJT, which has exploded upwards a week before the 2024 election as (a[...]

We’re entitled to take Trump literally (video nsfw)
(Video not safe for work, due to language) By the way, the Republicans “interpreting” Trump’s words, i.e. telling you he doesn’t really mean what he says, don’t know what’s actually in his mind, and can’t control what he does. Plus, Trump has no sense of hum[...]

Sycophant judges audition for the Supreme Court

We saw that with rogue district court judge Aileen Cannon in Florida, who has sucked[...]
First case of 2024 voting fraud!
A Minnesota woman who died on August 31, 2024, voted for Trump on October 7, 2024, assisted by a daughter who’s also an avid Trump supporter. The ballot was mailed September 20, and by then Rose Marie Javorina was so stiff she couldn’t fill out it herself, so Danielle Miller did it for h[...]
Is J. D. Vance lying about Trump’s true intentions?
First of all, J. D. Vance is a proven liar. He was a front-and-center promoter of the “Haitians eat pets” conspiracy theory; and when he was force to admit it was false, he nevertheless tried to justify demonizing an entire group of innocent people as a way to score a political point. Va[...]
Four Arizona Republicans who reject Trump (video)
I’m posting this video because I think it has lessons for both sides. For Republicans, reclaim your party from Trump and go back to what you were before MAGA, so your own voters can vote for you. For Democrats, listen to these centered voters describe a Democrat they could vote for. The 2024 e[...]
The silly things Republicans say
Election years are called “the silly season” for a reason: Campaigns bring the lunacy out, especially on the right. But these statements by Republican politicians go way beyond normal election-year puffery and bombast: Example 1: Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), on September 29, 2024, called Kama[...]
Which is better for you, tariffs or income tax?
Trump, in his Joe Rogan podcast appearance, made clear he likes the 19th century tariffs system, and feels the income tax was a mistake. He also made clear he favors completely replacing the income tax with tariffs (watch video here). Would that be a better tax system for average American households[...]
