As with nearly everything else related to the presidency, Trump has turned weekly cabinet meetings into a pathetic farce and endless stream of bullshit, egomania, and pure vanity. All his cabinet officials do at these meetings is compete to see who can kiss his ass in the most embarrassing and...

Not a fan of Reagan today, but as a young man straight from my parent's Republican home I did cast my first vote for president for him back in 1984. I will say that Reagan in his prime could give a helluva speech, and the Challenger speech that afternoon was one of his best. I still remember it...

No doubt. And given how much Trumpers generally hate one another, once there's blood in the water they all turn into sharks trying to devour one another and be the last shark swimming next to Daddy Shark Trump. I would imagine that any halfway competent reporter is going to have a field day in...

That's how I've always felt. The 2000 season (Guthridge's final season) was really hit-or-miss in the regular season, UNC was just 9-7 in conference play (18-12 total) and barely made the tournament, not unlike last year. Yet they went on a fantastic NCAA Tourney run and made the Final Four, so...

That could be said of a good many MAGA leaders and "influencers." No doubt some are simply grifters and con artists, but I think a good many are also seriously disturbed people who should be undergoing regular psychiatric treatment instead of actually running government agencies or serving in or...

True, but even during the football season I don't think the debate was as widespread or drew the same level of interest as the arguments over Hubert have. I do think there is a certain apathy about the football program (because of its longstanding mediocrity) that doesn't exist about the...

It's easy to tell which sport at UNC is dominant and gains the most interest. With Hubert there is a passionate debate about whether he is the right coach for the school and whether he should be let go at the end of the year, with Belichick most fans (not all, but most) have already accepted...

Diversity is as American as apple pie, and has been from the country's founding. Even among the white population there has always been diversity in national and religious origins (and nativist opposition to immigration, such as against Irish Catholics in the mid-1800s). And the nativist...

And complaining that she chose Corey over him, even though Corey was apparently at the meeting too.

Their behavior and actions right after shooting these people - or seeing a fellow ICE agent shoot someone - gives them away. Calling them bitches just seconds after they were shot, laughing after a shooting, threatening people that they'll get the same treatment if they don't stop chanting or...

Maybe Noem will send her boy toy Corey Lewandowski to give Homan a piece of her mind.

Kash Patel is a walking, talking line of right-wing cliches. If you ask him what he's having for dinner tonight, his response would be some canned lines of "I plan to have a Real American supper of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and coleslaw, just like our brilliant president enjoys...

Sounds like Dear Leader has been seeing the polls about the rapidly growing unpopularity of his occupation and terrorizing of Minneapolis via his personal thug army (ICE). He also hinted yesterday that ICE "would be leaving at some point" which is also a sign he knows which way the wind is...

He wasn't "attacking" law enforcement, and he had been disarmed. Patel is basically saying "if you cross us in any way, you die, even if you're unarmed (as this guy had been unarmed by ICE) and we've already got you on the ground." It's just thug behavior with the official sanction of the...

This gloating is deceptive, to say the least. His numbers are still well below those for the CBS Evening News a year ago, and he's still mired in third place behind ABC's World News Tonight and the NBC Nightly News. ABC's World News tonight gets 8.16 million viewers, NBC's Nightly News gets 6.68...
