Sometimes, if you want to understand a problem, you need only look at numbers. That is certainly true of the gun problem. In the United States: More than 100,000 people are shot with guns every year. Of those 100,000 gunshots, nearly 33,000 people die And nearly double that many are seriously
I have been saying this for years, especially a few years back, when the NRA and the gunloony far right were trying to make a case for “open carry” nonsense by carrying their AR-15s and other military weapons in places where families shop. No one makes a better case for
This morning, seemingly before his “Executive Time,” Trump Tweeted the following: When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country
The 27 words in the Second Amendment are easily among the most misunderstood and misinterpreted passages ever written. It doesn’t matter where you fall on the political spectrum, the chances are you are baffled by what it says. I say that because people from all sides and the middle get
As I have pointed out repeatedly, the difference between the Democratic and Republican Parties has never been more stark. The Democratic ideology is about helping as many people as possible, whereas the Republican ideology is all about low taxes and not spending money on anything, except tax cuts. One of
This is getting ridiculous. Republicans are not only cruel bullies, they are also irretrievably stupid. The more we read about the Trump budget, the more absurd the whole thing looks. And please don’t let anyone say it’s all Trump’s doing because we all know better. First of all, Donny doesn’t
Imagine you are one of the 800,000 people who have been here since they were children and their parents brought them. In other words, imagine you’re 25 or 35 years old and you have been here since you were four and you know nothing else but the United States. You
How do I put this? Lord Donny is finally right about something; this country needs a strong push toward greater infrastructure. He’s been hollering about it for almost three years now, and he’s not wrong; if we’re to compete in the world, we have to make a massive investment in
In reading and discussing politics, there is nothing more depressing than the complete morons who come at me with their sincere-but-truly asinine belief that both major political parties are basically the same. The reason it’s depressing is because it is the key reason why we on the liberal/progressive side have
This morning, Lord Donny Tweeted the following: In the “old days,” when good news was reported, the Stock Market would go up. Today, when good news is reported, the Stock Market goes down. Big mistake, and we have so much good (great) news about the economy! — Donald J. Trump
Last May, when Lord Donny decided to fire James Comey as FBI Director, we were given all sorts of ultimately phony reasons why. Hell, at one point, Trump himself said it was because of how Comey had treated “Crooked Hillary.” This was a “president” who was deep into full damage-control
I’m reposting AGAIN because I feel that I need to. If you claim to be “progressive” and you keep repeating the lie that Democrats get just as much support from toxic industries as Republicans, you need to realize you are just plain lying, and it can be easily proven by
I don’t plan to watch the State of the Union tomorrow night. It will be the first time in my life, that I can remember. One reason is, I already know the state of the union; it’s cloudy with a chance of meatballs batshit crazy. I know this because a
Before I get started, this piece is harsh as hell, but it is not pointed at every single person who is registered as a Republican. It refers to the leadership and the overall tone of GOP rhetoric. There are good rank-and-file Republicans out there. However, if you STILL support your
Today, Quinnipiac University released a poll that, in any other White House would be grounds for major embarrassment. Start with the fact that, while 90 percent of those polled think it’s important that a president set a really good example and be a role model for children, more than two-thirds
Do you realize there are FOURTEEN people in the Trump Administration who get access to the Presidential Daily Brief? That’s twice as many as received it during the Obama Administration, and most of the people working under Obama were competent and trustworthy. To make matters worse, at least one of
