By Mark | September 25, 2019

With the whistleblower getting ready to go before Congress, his Director of National Intelligence testifying tomorrow, and Pelosi dropping the impeachment bomb last night, I guess Trump felt as though he had to do something, so, this morning, he released a summary of a call he had with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, back on July […]

Given the fact that Epstein had already […]

As some Republicans begin to stand up against Trump and McConnell on white nationalism and gun control, the fight shifts to Walmart and the corporations underwriting Trumpism

By Mark | August 6, 2019

It’s now been a few days since a white nationalist gunman took the lives of 22 people in El Paso and there are any number of things that we could discuss. I’m inclined to focus on Mitch McConnell’s continued refusal to bring House Resolution 8 to a vote in the Senate, but I really don’t […]

With the release of Trump Jr.’s Russia emails, and plausible deniability significantly more difficult to come by, some Republicans are beginning to abandon ship

By Mark | July 11, 2017

Every morning I wake up and tell myself that the Donald Trump Jr. story line can’t possibly dominate the headlines yet one more day, and yet here we are again.
