Disclaimer: Just because I’m used to them, doesn’t mean I vote for them. Blake Masters, 36, is the 2022 Arizona GOP nominee for U.S. senator. He wasn’t born stupid, as he has B.A. and J.D. degrees from Stanford, so his cerebral cortex must have been pithed at some point, perhaps as[...]

GOP’s Mar-A-Lago search accusations aren’t credible
It’s the silly season. That’s what election years are called, because as voting approaches, parties and candidates say increasingly silly things. Republicans are now claiming the FBI search to recover classified government documents from ex-president Trump’s private home at Mar-A-L[...]

If this GOPer loses, he’ll blame the Democrats
When Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI, photo at left) wants to be interviewed, he wisely chooses a hack like Maria Bartiromo for the job, because she’ll ask him the questions he wants to be asked and agree with what he says. That beats a journalist interview by a country mile. Johnson needs all the help[...]
Will anyone care if somebody runs over Kash Patel in his driveway?
Kash Patel (photo, left) is one of the more squalid characters in the Trump stolen secret documents saga. He’s the guy who claimed Trump wouldn’t commit a crime if he compromised national security secrets (nuclear weapons, names of spies, etc.) because, “He can literally stand over[...]

Texas lets anyone have a gun
No state is more gun-crazy, or less restrictive on guns, than Texas. In the wake of the Uvalde school massacre, Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, ignored calls by victims’ families for gun reforms (see story here). Now there’s another Texas gun carnage to talk about. A Houston man whoR[...]
I think it’s great that swine can run for Congress
What sets America apart is freedom. In our country, even swine can run for Congress, and that’s a great thing — as long as they’re not elected. And if they are, that need not be disastrous. For example, the world didn’t end when Marjorie Taylor Greene got elected to Congress,[...]

Should a candidate’s photo in Confederate attire matter?
I think it depends on the context and purpose. Doug Mastriano is a Pennsylvania state senator who represents a district that includes Gettysburg. If he dressed up for a reenactment, a popular tourist attraction there (see video below), I don’t necessarily have a problem with it. Somebody has t[...]

Judge upholds Arizona’s use of voting machines
The GOP nominees for Arizona governor and secretary of state, both of whom baselessly claim the 2020 election was stolen, and face uphill battles to win in November, lost their federal lawsuit to compel Arizona to count ballots by hand. (See story here.) What they tried to do in court, Republicans i[...]

GOP’s new campaign strategy: Deleting their candidates’ remarks
In a campaign season when GOP grassroots voters have nominated a motley collection of quacks, cranks, election deniers, and toxic organisms to run for important public offices, Republican handlers are adopting an insanely rational strategy: Deleting what their candidates said. In Colorado, a local R[...]
