Trump’s gross negligence during the #COVID19 pandemic amounts to genocide. Not only has he reduced the average life expectancy of the US by years, the effects on the life expectancy and health of the American people will be felt for years to come.

As awareness and acceptance of mental health issues increases in our thoroughly modern world, organizations and people should be more prepared to accommodate those whose needs are not being met. Naomi Osaka is a great example of how the arc of history needs to bend towards accommodation.

I find it too upsetting to think about the murder of George Floyd for too long. It was just horrifically brutal. There was a casual deliberate depravity displayed by Chauvin over those nine minutes. But, at the same time, discussing it helps exorcise those ghosts.

Do you think that the crazy wild accusations of voter fraud and worldwide conspiracy to steal Trump’s landslide victory will eventually hurt Republican candidates? Think again. It plays into their plans to create single-party pseudo-democratic minority rule.

We all wonder why @GSAEmily doesn’t just sign the papers to ascertain that #BidenHarris are the apparent winners of Election 2020. She is complying in advance with the desires of an authoritarian. She’s heard the messages of Trump and the GOP and is doing what they want. In the meantime, she is responsible for the thousands of deaths from #COVID19 by denying Biden vital information in the transition.

The circular firing squad is back on as progressive and moderate Dems argue over who snatched a squeaker from the jaws of a landslide in 2020. Of course, we can’t just celebrate having won one, right? Much of the debate turns on the role of “Defund the Police.” Unfortunately, the cognitive psychology of it points the finger squarely at it.

Well, that could’ve gone better! In the early days of the Ol’ Pussy Grabber’s regime that seemed to be their motto or at least what staffers were muttering under their breath. And, these folks couldn’t take two consecutive steps without dropping their concealed carry and shooting one of […]
Does the Ol’ Pussy Grabber have dementia? People have cited several pieces of evidence of his disorientation, lapses in memory, repetitive language, fixated ideation, and other recent behaviors. Here’s a closer look at how his behaviors match up with the symptoms of dementia.
In order for Al Franken to save his senate seat, he must give a complete accounting for all of his sexual transgressions before another accuser goes public. He’s got to just come clean about it all. And, then maybe he can remain in the senate.
Al Franken’s story really gives some insight into the mind of the groper. And, the reactions of his accusers may help men understand the problem with the groping and sexual harassment.
The Ol’ Pussy Grabber has been stamping his wee little feet over North Korea and shrilly screaming his impotence into the void of Twitter. It is disappointing to see the media chase down these rabbit holes instead of press him on the real story: Mueller’s probe into his scandal ridden administration.
The way that the Repubes treated and continue to treat Merrick Garland makes it very difficult for the Dems to accept Neil Gorsuch. The very black cloud hanging low over the administration makes it very hard to accept Gorsuch. Can the impasse be surpassed?
