CONVERGENCE

I am not much for astrology, but it does seem that the planets must be aligning in some peculiar ways right now. Jerry Springer, whose show was at least 50% bleeped expletives has died on the same day that reports emerged that *ucker Carlson’s demise was attributable to vile and…

TUCKER

By now, you’ve no doubt seen the news that Tucker Carlson and Fox News have parted ways. Since he has been yanked from the air without getting a chance to say goodbye, it’s a pretty fair assumption that he has been fired. Proximity doesn’t necessarily prove causation, but it’s pretty…

Dominion v. Fox News

Dominion v. Fox News Some thoughts on the Fox-Dominion settlement: Most civil suits end in settlement. When I was a young lawyer trying to get some courtroom experience, it drove me nuts that cases I had spent late nights preparing kept settling — often on the courthouse steps. …

ON CITIZENSHIP

This excellent editorial by Thomas Edsall lays out an indictment of the anti-democratic fervor in modern Republicanism. Republicans are made up of two core groups: Oligarchs and self-perceived cultural victims: ” When it comes to democratic backsliding in the states, the results couldn’t be clearer: over the past two decades…

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A SUBVERSIVE ORGANIZATION: IT NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED

The two major prongs of the Mueller Report were (1) Trump and his allies committed multiple instances of obstruction of justice, but he could not (yet) be criminally indicted while still serving as president, and (2) there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate collusion between Trump and Russia in the 2016…

This business of selling your soul can be tricky.

This business of selling your soul can be tricky. In the musical, Damn Yankees, a Washington Senators fan made such a deal with the devil so his team could beat the Yankees for the pennant. The Senators in question were the baseball team, not the ones on Capitol Hill. Yesterday’s…

WHY REELECTING SENATOR WARNOCK STILL MATTERS

WHY REELECTING SENATOR WARNOCK STILL MATTERS You’re no doubt aware of the pending runoff election in Georgia between Senator Raphael Warnock and the mind-bogglingly incompetent Herschel Walker.

Indictment Porn

Indictment Porn The fear of Republican retribution in response to prosecution of Trump is, frankly, laughable. Republicans have been exacting ‘retribution’ over every grievance the MAGA Lord can imagine. January 6.
