Ron Johnson leaves your COVID death to chance, or maybe the Giant Meteor will get you anyway
Senator Ron Johnson’s theory of epidemiology is that it’s your tough luck if you get sick and die, maybe you’ll be in Ron DeathSantis’s Florida, the current epicenter of US COVID contagion. If it was a “peaceful protest”, then why should we care about...

hack of conservative foundation is still about Russia doing a solid for previous guy and GOP
Conservative media did a whatabout noting that Wisconsin’s Bradley Foundation servers got hacked, but the reality could be something quite different, considering how the RWNJ disinformation tropes are running so far this week. It seems designed to...

previous guy's post-defeat scams loom even larger and yet his rubes still surrender their money
Jonestown Survivor Rep. Jackie Spier (D-CA) Calls Trump a 'Political Cult Leader'. He fundraises with promises of freedom defined as a return to some fictive version of a segregated America enforced by police. Fortunately he’s an incompetent politician...

The GQP's 138 'pussy' perfidy of 6 January 2021
Remember the over 100 GOP House members who voted to install previous guy as dictator on 6 January. Remember also what Trump called the cops who were abused by the ‘normal tourists” on that day. The facts continue to close in, however slowly. The...

"All Trump needs to see is that you’re making a defense, no matter how nonsensical..."
Step by step, inch by inch… the details of the manic mango’s day on 6 January will become clearer with the House Select Committee. Even if he dummies up, Charlie McCarthy’s cousin Kevin could wind up in the barrel or as a barrel. It’s ‘hammer time’,...

"just the opposite" ...is this the last month for democracy? Only in the alternative universe
A delusional Mark Meadows hallucinated a shadow government as we enter the month promised by the pillow guy for previous guy’s ‘reinstatement’. The ‘sprawling work of collaborative right-wing fiction’ continues, aided by several right-wing media...

WYFP? Open Thread
MFP: Can Ethics take cognitive precedence over Aesthetics. Aesthetic objects as the trigger for perceptual effects and in limited cases moral reaction like moral indignation should also spur ethical, reparative action. For example, hunting wolves is...

DeathSantis bans mask mandates as Florida leads nation in COVID hospitalizations
More of the same Ron DeSantis, allowing people to hate government but not him in the Trumpist tradition. Preventing a mandate throws the responsibility to parents, hence causing greater public chaos and conflict at the school district level. Therefore...

Trump to DoJ: 'just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen’
The arsenal smolders as the House Oversight committee releases meeting notes showing that Trump wanted the DoJ to declare the 2020 election corrupt, in advance of the 6 January 2021 insurrection. Chairwoman @RepMaloney issued the following statement in...

Chip Roy arguments abound as GOP House tourists barge into the Senate
More Brooks Brothers Riots even as both are now anachronistic for GOP members of Congress within the Capitol. “Which is it, vaccines or masks?” — Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) throws a tantrum on the House floor, protesting the reimposed House mask requirement....

Kansas Republican attorney general, candidate for governor, comes out in support of anarchy
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has never walked away from asking for big government. In fact, he’s a huge believer in big government. He’s wanted more restrictions on abortion rights. He has used taxpayer dollars to argue for the right of big...

Marjorie, Mo, and the GQP Moron-Leader place a strain on C-T resources
On Wednesday, speaking to reporters, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) hit back at House Minority @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for suggesting that the new reinstatement of the mandate to wear face masks on the floor of the House is contrary to the...

RIP Ron Popeil, "but wait, there's no more"
Dead at 86, the exemplar for the directness of reality TV, informercials as direct marketing, and previous guy's hope for hair. Ron Popeil will disabuse those who begrudgingly call previous guy a branding “genius”. Gadgeteer Ron Popeil, who was awarded...

Trump may be forced to testify about 6 January, Liz Cheney says: ‘This is not a game’
The deposed will be deposed. Even if he defies a subpoena and lies, this time under oath, Trump needs to be there. This is deadly serious. Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the former House Republican conference chair, left open the possibility of subpoenaing...

previous guy rants like a Russian as the weird turn pro: “Wokeism makes you lose”
A reminder that Trumpian disinformation is global. The latest Kremlin media hate rant resembles a recent speech by Trump in Phoenix. Why is his messaging shtick so similar to Russian media. Even stranger is Russian state media suggesting like Pat...

previous guy is still no longer POTUS, but now Fox News thinks Fauci's in charge
Remember when ‘Gondor had no king’? Lawfare nuttery happened as Trumpists tried to sue to overthrow the government because of the Big Lie, among other even stranger reasons. Needless to say they did attend the insurrection. And they did want to seize...

Mo' Trouble for Mo Brooks as justice closes in
Mo Brooks is trying to get some legal cover for his role in the insurrection, and the DoJ is having none of it. He will make for an interesting Select Committee witness. “Instigating an attack on the United States capitol would not be in the scope of a...

"a white nationalist insurrection" or "a normal tourist visit" ...not like the other
“There is a difference between breaking the law and rejecting the rule of law.” — Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R. Ill.) “Merrick Garland’s DOJ has advised Trump officials they can give ‘unrestricted testimony’ in congressional Jan. 6 inquiries despite Trump’s...

The GQP wants you to forget about the January tourist insurrection as the Select Committee begins
Questions and maybe answers about the insurrection ahead. Committee Chair Bennie Thompson released his opening statement as a Washington Post opinion this morning. Unfortunately some extremist GOP representatives will hold a concurrent presser claiming...

the Insurrection's 'Person Ten' may be a patsy for the Oath Keepers' whip hand.
As we open the Select Committee hearings many items seem so far incongruous. It may be that Michael Simmons may be a stalking horse for actions of the Oath Keepers in 6 January 2021, as Congress begins its inquiries led by the House Select Committee....

save-our-souls from the previous guy's same-old same-old: "You become warped. You become demented."
Don’t wake up, stay asleep… Trump’s whining has become stale, turning into an endless string of tired stand-up bits from five years ago in an alternate universe tour for observational comics: Donald Trump: (01:34:49) Woke politics takes the life and...

“bipartisan is like a fox being proud a dog is guarding a hen house with it instead of another fox"
Bipartisanship is scarce like a white whale needs a shark’s press agent. The NY Times and the BBC report that RWNJ disinformation is globally outsourced and that their public relations flaks are out walking their sharks, even as one is sitting next to...

if surfing is the last stage of capitalism, skateboarding must be Goofy settler colonialism
It’s the silly season so cultural imperialism is not about blue jeans and sustainability but about surfing competition at the Olympics as an article in WaPo implies. The reality is that the Olympics has all kinds of issues, from Russian state-sponsored...

AntiCapitalist MeetUp - climate crisis: weaning from fossil fuel to renewables and conservation
Like many areas of value, some are existentially more global than others even as we all know our personal differences in daily, lived experience. The urgency of the climate crisis compels us to adopt ecosocialist ideological tendencies, especially in...

lying previous guy crashes AZ clown car because umbrellas are weapons
Grievance central: “If I lost this election, I could handle it pretty easily,” Trump is doing another hate-fest, this time in Phoenix AZ. It probably was meant to be a victory rally for the fraudit, which coincidentally didn’t prove anything. The same...

some bad places to live for LGBTQ folks, but in Missouri it's OK for Eric Greitens, because Trump

Tom Barrack gets a GPS ankle monitor, but he's richer than Paul Manafort... will he flee
He did not register as a foreign agent and lied to the feds for a total of seven felonies. This could provide some insight on the prosecution of Kushner and previous guy. Michelle Goldberg of the NY Times thinks it’s a BFD. (CNN) A federal magistrate...

rank entryism: sheeple in wolves' clothing
The continuing irony in US politics is how one proclaims oneself as an independent voter while being constrained by the dominance of a district-level party duopoly. First to the post voting rather than proportional representation remains a risk in...

lib-owning time is coming to an end, even in Alabama as unvaccinated COVID cases and deaths rise
Resisting Cancel-Culture’s shaming about masks and vaccines cannot own people who are no longer alive or very sick in so-called red states and their red pills. It’s even hard to own those ...

the SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant is neither Peruvian nor LGBTQ. Do your research
The Delta variant of COVID=-19 is now in over 80 countries and there is a rise in the Lambda variant that has spread to 29 countries. It’s time for the MSM to get ahead of the RWNJ media framing as well as the recent shift in GOP anti-Vax propaganda to...
