The way you test this is by finding a GOP candidate who stands naked in his door flashing the disability van driver when she goes by. Long Island town council candidate Kevin Sabella Sr., a Republican stalwart and pillar of his community (Knights of Columbus, church, etc.), has allegedly dropped suc[...]

Nikki Haley says she’ll pardon Trump
Nikki Haley, who’s running for president, says if she’s elected she’ll pardon Trump for his classified documents crimes (see story here). “When you look at a pardon, the issue is less about guilt, and more about what’s good for the country,” Haley said. Right. From that persp[...]

Kari Lake doesn’t know history
Kari Lake, who lost a race for Arizona governor in 2022, partly because 30,000 Republicans voted against her (see details here), is one of America’s most strident election deniers after Trump himself. A British reporter for Australia’s Sky News who disputed her assertion that American el[...]
The GOP’s moral disease
A Huffington Post article on Monday, June 13, 2023 (read it here), summed it up: “Despite all the criminal accusations and investigations, Trump remains the Republican front-runner for the 2024 presidential nomination.” To be fair, Trump has only been found civilly liable for sexual assa[...]
Michigan election deniers fined $58,000 for frivolous lawsuit
Democrats swept the 2022 Michigan state elections, capturing every statewide office and the legislature (see details here).

GOP senator goes off half-cocked

Kari Lake is bad at math
Why do I keep posting about Kari Lake? Because she’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys! Kari’s Arizona election claims were silly enough. On that score, she’s been rebuffed by one court after another; she hasn’t appealed to God yet, but — wait, never mind, yes she has. [...]

It’s a trap!
They’re not coming for Trump, they’re coming for you. That’s the message Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) is sending out to his fellow rightwing fanatics ahead of Trump’s arraignment in a Miami federal court. In a press release (here), he claims, “This latest DOJ persecution a[...]

What’s at stake in Trump’s trial
Now that he’s been indicted, Trump is entitled to a presumption of innocence, and a fair trial. Those are bedrock principles of the U.S. legal system. Trump “has a lot at stake” in the case, a New York Times writer says. “He could, in theory, go to prison for years.” Bu[...]

Republicans are outraged Trump is indicted for breaking the law
Trump’s MAGA movement caught many Americans by surprise. They’ve never seen anything like it before. This is the first time anyone has tried to overthrow our democracy. To outsiders, Trump looks like a pied piper leading a crowd of zombies into a never-never land of lies, fantasies, and [...]
