Good Morning Fascism!

Who’s next to enter stage right, Cagney, Bogart, Robinson, McClane? This show is like a 1930’s Prohibition gangster flick. But why does 30% of the population support these thugs? Is the American mass culture really corrupt, or merely gullible? If the former, then Marx was correct in predicting the collapse of capitalism. If the latter, Read More…

Elements of the 2nd Regiment of the California Militia, a terrorist organization, confronted Highway Patrol officers defending the Capitol Building. Though unarmed, the terrorists were garbed in military fatigues and presented an intimidating presence to civilian passersby. The terrorists did not attempt to charge through the CHP defensive lines, but their mere presence brought bitter Read More…

It’s only our Republic that’s at risk – not to worry. Strange how we former Vietnam era protesters have come to trust the men with the skinny black ties and white shirts. Guess it was Watergate or law school or Hamilton or Madison or George Will. Or is Trump right, that we should trust Vlad Read More…

Updates to follow.

As if the health issues facing this country are not enough. The Dear Leader continues to interject his paranoid vision of management into the daily functions of our government professionals. He has assuredly convinced himself that no one is watching his personnel moves, but it is this blindness to the facts of the world around Read More…

Perhaps the original tag “Wuhan Virus” was appropriate, in view of the likely source of the first transmission. However, since Trump was first made aware of the virus’ existence in early January, this is his baby. The mere possibility of an outbreak, aside from early national security briefings, should have alerted The Dear Leader to Read More…

With actual heroes like our medical advisers and teams, our mayors and governors, and the likes of Captain Crozier and IG Atkinson, who needs the White House? Perhaps it’s time to tune out and turn off the press conference broadcasts altogether. Better yet, the D.C. Mayor could quarantine the entire White House compound.

It was The Fuhrer’s Justice Minister Franz Gurtner who declared that the law was whatever the drug-addicted Hitler stated it to be. Mitch McConnell and his GOP lemmings likewise stand by the proven lunatic Trump. Who are these guys? How did they attain office? They never say “no” to the nearest dollar or ruble, that’s Read More…

The pace of GOP nazification increased today in the House impeachment hearings. Not since Hitler’s rise to control Germany’s governmental apparatus in 1933 has one party submitted itself to a demagogue so rapidly.. Thankfully, Trump does not possess the mental capacity to manage the emerging enterprise. Which brings us this question: Who, in fact, is Read More…

Merely another reason why President Lincoln erred in not allowing General Sherman to burn the South to the ground and hang all surviving rebels and legislators. Will the same error be made again? The Roman Empire thrived for several centuries by granting mercy only to those who accepted their law and authority. The American South Read More…

We know that you strong-armed Mr. Durham into initiating this investigation. We await the facts underlying your predication. Many in the emerging AOC generation are sharpening their guillotines – literally. Their influence will increase during your lifetime. A legitimate criminal prosecution effort will be recognized, as will bits of bacon tossed to Hannity and his fellow Nazi camp followers and Read More…

As of this evening, Trump/Barr will release “only what is legally possible”. Barr’s executive privilege claim will be sent to the courts, and the impeachment inquiry will stall, unless another player emerges. Barr is probably correct, as the statute applies to misconduct within the intel community. Trump is not covered by the statute. Dems may Read More…

Actual evidence of Trump’s bribery of the Ukraine president would likely suffice for a majority of the country. The Whistleblower’s complaint may only establish indirect evidence. As I have stated previously, the NSA tapes or transcripts may be necessary. Otherwise, it may take a Machiavellian sense that the momentum has already turned, that Trump can never Read More…

Rudy Giuliani has clearly violated 52 USC 30121(a)(2), as a person who has solicited a campaign benefit from a foreign person. Nail him now and watch Trump squirm. No executive privilege for a private attorney.

I suspected that something was afoot in my recent post of July 26th. Two days later, DNI Chief Coats was either fired or resigned. Mr. Coats then advised his Deputy Sue Gordon to resign. Then a Trump-Putin call on July 31st. Now the IG states that the complaint includes multiple events. My guess is that Dan Read More…

Sorry Joe, but I’m 74, still read Erasmus and Montesquieu without nodding off, and speak to an audience without referring to my notes. Today we need competent, knowledgeable leadership (Amy) supported by some spice and fire (Liz). We know that you can beat Trump, but I’m afraid that you would fall asleep either during or immediately after a Read More…

How about restricting all automatic weapons use to licensed gun clubs and shooting ranges? Require anyone who has legally purchased such a weapon to immediately store it at a secure facility. Anyone who has the urge to eviscerate a case of empty beer cans can access his local range 24 hours a day without risking injury to the public, either Read More…
