We passed the 500,000 milestone in the United States yesterday, although it did not feel like that
The United States passed 500,000 reported deaths from Covid-19 yesterday which — as the President noted — is more than all the American war dead from World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined. And yet, as … Continue reading

Trump’s legal problems are just beginning.
Donald Trump thinks that he’s going to rise like a Phoenix, but he’s more likely going to sink like a lead balloon under the weight of his legal troubles. Those legal troubles fall into two categories: Potential criminal cases Potential … Continue reading

Just outright lying seems to be the Republicans new “go to” for dealing with difficult situations
It’s nice of the Governor of Texas to blame everything other than what is actually at the root of the problem in Texas. This seems to be the Republican’s new “go to”: just engaging in outright lying. (That’s a tactic … Continue reading

I’m not going to start saying nice things about Rush Limbaugh just because he’s dead.
It was announced yesterday that Rush Limbaugh died, and a number of prominent conservatives immediately took us to task for not being gracious about his passing. To be fair, some of the tweets and other remarks I saw were really … Continue reading
How about we vaccinate the Teachers next?
It’s interesting to watch as everyone, especially conservatives, are now piling on the teacher’s unions because many of them are not yet in favor of opening up schools. Well, there’s no better punching bag for conservatives than unions. Especially public … Continue reading

Can section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment be used to disqualify Trump from ever holding future office?
Now that Trump’s been acquitted — a 2nd time, no less — the question has arisen whether an obscure provision of the 14th Amendment could be used to keep Trump from running for President again. Background to the 14th Amendment … Continue reading
About as surprising as a morning sunrise, but still incomprehensible
Well, after a five day trial the Senate acquitted Donald Trump once again. This time, at least a majority of Senators voted to convict (57:43). But not the 2/3rds vote needed. (The last time the two articles were voted down … Continue reading
Why Brandenburg is the right case but applied for the wrong reason
One of the cases that was cited yesterday by Trump’s impeachment team is the case of Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969). For those of you who are not lawyers — which I assume is most of you — … Continue reading
Donald Trump is being impeached with his own Twitter Feed.
The thing I’m enjoying the most right now, after the 2nd day of the 2nd impeachment trial, is the degree to which Donald Trump is being impeached with his own Twitter feed. The House Managers are really building a compelling … Continue reading
