No Witnesses
In the vote to hear from witnesses and subpoena documents from the Executive Branch, Senators voted down the motion 49–51, meaning any one of the Senate Republicans could have changed the outcome. Any one of them could have stood up for what is right and just and ethical in the… Read the Rest… “No Witnesses”
The Republican Party is Corrupt. Full Stop.
I’ve said it so many times, I’ve lost count, lost breath, and lost the vociferousness with which I say it… but I’ll say it again: The Republican Party has been tearing this country apart, deliberately, since the rise of the Gingrich Congress. And, you know what, let’s expand it. Their… Read the Rest… “The Republican Party is Corrupt. Full Stop.”
Two Thousand Twenty
Frankly, I accomplished nothing significant in my personal life in 2019.

But let’s dig a little deeper and… Read the Rest… “Silent Sam”
The Hypocrisy of the GOP and Lindsey Graham
Politicians lie. It’s what they do, and we’re not all that surprised when they do it anymore. We’ve become accustomed to this behaviour. It’s still unfortunate, and it makes my skin crawl that we can’t trust our elected officials to walk the walk after they talk the talk, but it’s… Read the Rest… “The Hypocrisy of the GOP and Lindsey Graham”
Lying Liars
We have never had a President who so blatantly and brazenly lies to the American public with such ease and a lack of ethical pause. There is a genuine disconnect between what the President says and the truth, and that’s something we’ve never seen before. Now, all politicians lie to… Read the Rest… “Lying Liars”
Where Have the ‘Moral’ Republicans Gone?
It’s been a year since Donald Trump won the highest office in the land by an outdated method of electoral mathematics.
