In six days, the Electoral College is scheduled to vote, to put its stamp of approval on the 2020 presidential election. Will that be the end of the controversy that has been raging the past five weeks? Will Donald Trump finally admit he lost, as he reportedly said he would after the Electoral College voted? …
“When did we as a country lose the ability to debate calmly and find common ground in order to solve problems? Was it one big event or a series of them?” I saw this question on Twitter as an inquiry to the wonderful Jim Wright of Stonekettle Station, maybe the most intelligent blog site I’ve …
I’m worried, and I hope I’m more worried than I need to be. What is most bizarre about it is that some of the people I’m worried for are … imagine this … Republicans. Georgia Republicans. A few weeks ago, I had about as much affection for them as Jake and Elwood Blues had for …
Sometimes strange things happen. Sometimes you set out to do something and then completely forget it. I set out yesterday to write about people who believe in conspiracy theories. I accomplished that in at least setting up the story, but the purpose was to finish with Donald Trump and how he is creating his own …
I have little or so use for the Republican Party’s latest blonde. Unlike Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, though, Georgia’s Kelly Loeffler was appointed to the state to fill a vacancy in December 2019 when Sen. Johnny Isakson resigned for health reasons. I’m not going to go into her issues or ever talk about why …
Let’s start with the fact that I have no use at all for 65-year-old Republican Congressman Ted Yoho(ho) of Florida. It actually hurts me to call him a crazy old coot and then realize he’s five — soon to be six — years younger than I am. But I can tell you at any age …
“After (Monica Palmer) filed her affidavit asking to rescind her vote, (Jonathan) Kinloch accused her and (William) Hartmann of bowing to pressure from the Republican Party and the White House, which has waged a legal campaign seeking to overturn the results of the election (in Michigan).“ Think about this for a minute. That quote is …
“Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.” To clarify, that’s mad as in insane, not mad as in angry. Otherwise there would be a great deal more destruction going on. This quote is often attributed to Euripides, but it actually dates back only three or four hundred years, appearing in Longfellow’s “Masque …
I wonder if anyone saw the irony in this. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene was recently elected to Congress. It was sort of a big deal, since Donald Trump had endorsed her and she was an outspoken member of QAnon. This week she was in Washington for freshman orientation and she complained to her followers …
This isn’t really about Donald Trump, even though the picture would lead you to believe it is. It’s about Republicans and how desperate they are to be cool, or at least to rise above being lame. The story begins in 1984, when Republicans decided that the perfect music to introduce President Reagan at his campaign …
