Iran has him by the balls and they know it, and by this point the rest of the world knows it. More than anything else that has happened in his two terms, this stupid, self-inflicted disaster is revealing Trump's true TACO character. He really is a classic bully - as long as others are...

"Two weeks. I'm giving you two weeks to agree to my terms before I completely destroy your entire civilization!"

Is it Iran hitting the SOS button, or Trump? I wonder how long it will be before he starts demanding yet again that our former allies help him get out of this mess?

I know how old this makes me sound, but I miss reading a good, competently made newspaper. There was just something about getting the paper every day and going through the different sections (news, sports, opinon/editorial, local news, comics, etc.) that was a good way to start your day while...

No doubt she's as crazy and unreliable as ever. Right now she's useful as a foil to attack Trump, but she could change on a whim at any time.

And, imo, it won't end when Trump leaves office. It's going to take a major effort and many years over several administrations to win back what Trump is losing. Because the simple fact is that after America dumped Trump in 2020 (barely), we were dumb enough to elect him again in 2024 with a...

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile. Maybe she feels genuinely betrayed or duped, like a true believer who was finally forced to see what her hero was really like. At any rate she's (possibly) the exception to the rule, not the rule itself. And it wouldn't surprise me to see...

It's way, way too late for that Tucker. And no one believes that this is a sincere apology anyway. You made a fortune and for awhile was a media superstar singing Dear Leader's praises on Fox, and you damn well knew better, and you knew that you were spewing lies even then. Now that you're...

She's a very experienced liar, I'll give her that. Anyone who has watched video of his weekly cabinet meetings knows that she's full of shit. They consist almost entirely of every cabinet member competing to see who can top the previous one in fawning praise of Trump's brilliance and greatness...

I'm so, so glad that reactionary asshole will be gone from the legislature after this year. He's been one of the prime forces behind every bit of reactionary legislation that's been passed in the last fifteen years, and he's been very successful in pursuing his (and Art Pope's) extreme...

It's a great question, and one I've wondered about from time to time. We live in the most powerful nation on Earth, and yet there is a deep-rooted fear and sense of insecurity in so many Americans, even among some who are relatively prosperous. It's not just in the obsession with owning guns...

Oh, yeah. I've thought about that. If Trump dies there will be instant and massive and very vocal celebrations by millions and millions of people, followed by an equally quick backlash from the MAGA cult and Fox News and other right-wing media outlets. They exist to generate outrage among the...

Yep. "Don't worry about tyring to improve things in this life, the world is too sinful to ever fix. Instead, just focus on not causing trouble for the powers-that-be and accept the status quo in everything and be a good, quiet little citizen, and you'll get your reward in heaven. Everybody is...

Protesting to save public schools from more devastating budget cuts and to raise teacher pay so we're no longer 48th in the nation? The horror! Will those socialist Democrats never stop causing trouble? Meanwhile Duke Energy reports record profits and still wants to raise their rates on...

Oh, no doubt. I think a great many people are never going to feel the same way about this country after the last ten years. But the ugly truth is that these people have always been here - the antebellum slaveowning South made up about a third of the country's population before the Civil War, and...
