Brad Todd (photo, left) is a GOP strategist and political commentator who describes himself as “a refugee from journalism” (read his profile here). Todd wants Democrats to “back off” from “apocalyptic rhetoric” that electing Trump would end democracy. He “co[...]
Pet lost and found

Trump assassination attempt 2.0
America has always been a violent country. Several presidents, candidates, and leading public figures have been assassinated, with attempts made on others including FDR and Reagan. What happened to Trump isn’t a historical outlier. It shouldn’t be this way. Political violence is bad for [...]
J. D. Vance doesn’t care he provoked school bomb threats

Vance continues to lie after admitting he’s lying

I don’t care that Republicans don’t trust our elections
“A fed-up CNN anchor Anderson Cooper cut off” ex-Rep. Scott Taylor (R-VA) for defending Trump’s assertion that a fifth of Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots were “fraudulent” in 2020. This is a fable. Mail-in ballots are verified just like polling place ballots. The[...]
