Republicans no longer have a quiet part. Cutting Social Security, stopping 'feminazis' from voting, supporting a rapist and porn star bribe payer.

Nikki Haley has to run against Trump, against Biden, and somehow be just as racist as the Trump cult without turning off the donor base?

Right wing media is masturbating (we said what we said) over their brain fantasy that Michelle Obama will run for President. They also prefer "vibes" to "facts" whether talking about the Constitution or the economy. How to talk to neighbors about the "bad" economy that let them go on that Disney cruise last month. This and the week's news and polit…

It's the time of the year when we celebrate Zappadan miracles. Rudy is bankrupt, Trump won't be on the ballot in Colorado, and Fox isn't talking about any of that and also neglects to tell their audience about the missing Russia Intel Binder. Which is a bfd. The other things not talked about matter: Win Red and the Oath Keepers. Because Trump invit…

The media goes from comatose to merely semi-comatose about the threat of a second Trump presidency. Blue Gal writes to the HHS Secretary about her healthcare costs. Another interesting analogy from Driftglass, this time about "TV mind." Three people in the world (at least) say don't promote Liz Cheney to the helm. More at proleftpod.com. LINKS FOR …

An unscripted and unrehearsed conversation, recorded at our dining room table on an iPhone. Driftglass: "Tuesday night I was feeling a little doomed, and my wife asked me what was wrong and I told her that at that moment I was doing some serious thinking about what to do in 2024 if Trump won. And that thinking about the unthinkable was depressing t…

A somewhat deep dive into the Book of Revelation? Don't worry; we also include connections to John Wick/Keanu Reeves as Jesus. But seriously, folks, these end times Republicans are deeply committed to the end of the world and think war in Israel is just the ticket to them going to Heaven and the rest of us going ...elsewhere. And don't get us start…

The Republican Party can't get their act together, and it's a feature, not a bug. The mainstream media can’t help making “walking the UAW picket line” and “meeting with scabs at a non-union shop” equal. Keith Olbermann dances on Drifty’s corner (again), and a Missouri congressman doesn’t understand timelines. And Republicans won’t call out a REAL c…
