Honduras Ex-President Juan Orlando Hernandez is not some fisherman suspected of hauling drugs in the Caribbean. If he were, he might have been killed by murderous Pete Hegseth already. No, Hernandez is a convicted cocaine trafficker. He was convicted in a Uni…
In another example of Trump's ignorance on how the public acquires health insurance, Trump boasted on Air Force One that he likes his idea the best. Trump seems to believe that if he gives Americans $2000 each, they can go out and purchase a wonderful health…
While Donald Trump and Pete “WhiskeyLeaks” Hegseth threaten Democrats for urging members of the military to follow the law, it sure looks like Secretary Signalgate has been caught breaking it. This time it’s not just shocking sloppiness and negligence from He…
It used to be that when you write something, you start with 'who, what, where, when,' but with Trump's chaotic administration and distractions coming in at lightning speed, it's a challenge. So, the 'who' is Trump, and the 'what' is what in the goddamn fuck i…
If you'd asked me a few months ago about the prospect of a Democrat winning in TN-07, a place where Trump won by 22 last year, I'd have said you were crazy and that it just wasn't possible. But here we are, with Aftyn Behn behind by just 2 points in a poll fr…

Dear Leader put out his talking points on the economy, and the propagandists on Fox "news" are more than happy to repeat them. Trump's numbers on the economy are in the toilet, and no amount of gaslighting by Trump and his enablers is going to change what peo…
Donald Trump could not be more out of touch. He just demolished the East Wing of the White House to build a $350 million, grotesquely gaudy golden ballroom. Every day, there seems to be more gold gilt on what’s left of the White House. And, of course, in less…
