After Donald Trump brazenly claimed victory on election night the Irish Daily Mirror ran a headline that pithily summed up his character. Sadly the GOP is full of enablers and cowards and his assault on our democracy continues.
It did not have to be like this. Unfortunately, the United States is currently governed by a Confederacy of imbeciles, sociopaths and cowards resulting in the worst response to Covid in the world. And it all starts with the moron in Chief who assumes no responsibility for this disaster Donald Trump.
Faced with a shrinking aging demographic base and unpopular policies, the GOP has decided voter suppression is the way for it to hold on to power.
In which we discuss the bear of little brain and the President of thin skin.
I have never really been a big fan of Mitt Romney, but today he stepped up when none of his fellow Republican Senators did in voting to convict Donald Trump in his impeachment trial.
On paper Tulsi Gabbard would be an ideal candidate. Young, attractive, charismatic and a veteran you would think she would be marked for bigger things in the Democratic Party. Unfortunately her presidential run is going nowhere, her Congressional career is almost over and her future job prospects are likely a talking gig on Faux News.
No written constitution can cover all acceptable modes of behavior.

The President of the United States quoted today:
“As soon as we get the facts straight, if we agree with them, we will condemn Russia or whoever it may be.”
It could be a sign that an administration which goes out of its way to avoid criticizing Russia and just fired a Secretary of State who had the temerity to do so will not be constrained by facts in it its actions. After all they can always make up alternative facts.
It was a departure long expected, but the timing still took everyone by surprise.
In his typical seat of the pants way of managing things, Donald Trump surprised the world by announcing (actually having the South Koreans announce) an impending summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in May.
World news was understandably distracted by the events in France the last few days.
The Month Python star explains how stupid people are too stupid to realize they are stupid. Video below:
Many people are dumb (note the other idiot in the video who does not pull his hand out after seeing what happens to his neighbor)
Indian mythology is full of folk tales of mongooses taking on and killing cobras. None of the stories has them taking on a pride of lions and living to tell the tale. Enjoy the video below. (Hat tip to iflscience)
If there is a picture that sums up the bullshit Faux News spews on a daily basis, this is it (hat tip to to Daily Kos).
The editor who typed up the script to the right is correct. But, why let facts come in the way of a good Obama bashing rant?
The capture of Russian paratroopers 20 miles inside Ukrainian territory is the latest expose of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine.
