Nikki Haley, the Former Governor of South Carolina, now running for President, completely muffed a question about the cause of the Civil War, and failed trying to walk it back. But there is more to this than her poor sense of history.
The Truscott Chronicles
A very original adaptation of "The Night Before Christmas."
Here we are, waiting for Trump's fawning pets on the Supreme Court to bail out their master by finding that there is no law in the land that applies to him.
Clarence Thomas began the long, slow slide of the Supreme Court into its current disgraceful state, voting again and again in favor of the conservative campaign to undo American civil rights.
The 14th Amendment still stands in all its thunderous glory with the word “insurrection” appearing again and again in its text.
More than anything, Biden should call Trump out for being what he is: a little boy who wants to be accepted by the big boy dictators he so admires like Putin and Orban and Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un.
Donald Trump, like Nixon before him, has taken the position that he is above the law, both as president and as a private citizen now that he has left office.
If you don’t live in Texas, don’t move there. Your future will not be secure in a state that treats women like the cattle they think they’re famous for.
We keep hearing that our democracy is under threat, but our democracy has been threatened before. We defeated Hitler and Hirohito and saved the world from a monstrous end, just for starters.
Hitler created a government that would go along with everything he wanted to do and merged the government with himself. Trump is promising to do the same.
The Zieglers, Florida's über conservative power couple for DeSantis, have been getting the word out that three-way sex with your wife and another woman is okay for me, but not for thee.
The D.C. Court of Appeals opened the door to civil lawsuits against Trump that he had been trying to block. Meanwhile his attempt to get his D.C. criminal case dismissed was also resoundingly trashed.
Things are not going to well for Trump in the lawsuit department these days. There may be a lot of packages under his red tree that he'd rather not see.
Donald Trump still insists that his free speech "rights" must be inviolate while he bellows out dog-whistle calls for violence against the court he is answering to.
What is American exceptionalism really? We have been the bastion against fascism for the world. But the Donald Trump plan to Make America Great Again will end our democracy and replace it with a fascist state.
The big question about our nation's Capitol is whether it is our seat of government or a middle-school playground at recess, with the same old posturing by bullies and covert elbow-jabs to the kidneys.
