The Truscott Chronicles

Trump is threatening to create a perfect world for himself, in which he will be allowed to do whatever he wants to do, no matter if it is legal or illegal, without suffering consequences.

The Gas-Can Caucus running the House of Representatives treats funding the government like an exciting road trip, with a few gallons in the tank and some gas cans in the trunk.

Donald Trump is the only president in our history to be elected not because he had paid his political dues or had an expert knowledge of the levers of political power gained over decades, but because he is famous.

Both Jan 6th and 9/11 were seen live by millions on TV. Coverage of both events was substantial. Yet Republicans are running denial campaigns about Jan 6th and are trying to rewrite that story.

A decision from the Fifth Circuit, formerly an icon of civil rights, gives more emergency room rights to wounded gang members, mass shooters and dying drug addicts than women in need of an abortion.

Oral arguments are a week away in Trump's appeal claiming he has total immunity, despite the fact that no case law supports his assertions.

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.

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.
