Who’s the scandal here? The man all the pundits thought should pull out of the race ten minutes into the debate on June 27? Or the convicted felon whom practically none of the pundits have called on to retire his candidacy.

To believe all the bullshit being cranked out by Trump and the Republicans, to believe they are all-powerful, to believe a Republican victory in November is inevitable, you’d have to believe that the Delaware River is running backwards. It’s not.
The simple fact of the matter is that Donald Trump is Project 2025, and Project 2025 is him. More than 200 former Trump administration officials have contributed ideas and work on the project.
Democrats have six weeks until the convention to dismiss their circular firing squad and get on with the business of making that convention about beating Donald Trump, not defending Joe Biden.
They can pass all the laws they want, but they’re not going to erase the fact that slaves built Monticello, slaves built the United States Capitol, slaves built the White House, and slaves built practically every capitol building in every southern state.
If it sounds like a fascist conspiracy, it is. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. With the Dobbs decision and this week’s move to grant Trump immunity, this Supreme Court is mid-stride on its way to bringing about the end of our democracy.
Among other things, John Roberts and the rest of the radicals on the Supreme Court just issued a decision that would make things like shooting peaceful demonstrators or arresting journalists legal as an “official act” by the president.
Democrats should take a page out of the Republican playbook. They don’t care if Trump’s a felon and a liar and an out-of-control lunatic who makes up weird shit and spews it out of his mouth like a firehose—sharks and electric boats, anyone?
The Supreme Court is making decency and empathy illegal while rewarding a liar and felon and sexual abuser who makes the rules, including those confirmed and upheld by his bought-and-paid for Supreme Court.
Biden was standing next to a clown target on a carnival midway tonight. Not only did he not hit him, he barely threw any balls at him. This has to stop. Biden should go on the attack and not let up for the next four months.
To MAGA is to follow, unquestioningly and absolutely. It is why one of our two political parties has ceased being either political or a party, turning itself, openly and brazenly, into a cult.
In the Republican Party, it is the Year of the Felon. Getting charged with waving a gun around while chasing a “Dream Girl” down your own block at 3 a.m. is probably a badge of honor.
Thomas, in his dissent that would allow abusive husbands and male partners under court restraining orders to own guns, is harkening back to the good old days when a man was allowed to own not only a gun, but a stick big enough to beat his wife with.
To old Moses, the Ten Commandments may have been laws, but these days, apparently they’re just speed bumps.
Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are leaders of pariah nations, unwelcome in capitals around the world by anyone other than fellow pariah leaders. North Korea is one of the few nations where Putin can land the Russian version of Air Force One.
Thomas told a blatant and foul lie about how the bump stock works, a lie so shameless that it can be disproven by a gun nut with a cell phone camera and a bump stock equipped AR-15.
