Just a short post. The Trump campaign grows more unhinged by the hour. Trump is holding super spreader rallies. He’s making more outrageous attacks on Democrats with totally bonkers claims. The attempts to fabricate a scandal against...

Are they going to do it again? The mainstream media helped elect Trump by being participants in Republican smears of Clinton. We know how this worked: Republicans held “investigations” into situations where they knew there was no scandal just so they...

So Trump has gone from asking Russia to hack Hillary and the Democrats to extorting Ukraine for dirt on Joe Biden; and now he openly asks China to investigate the Bidens. I guess he thinks well he got away with it once maybe if he does it out loud and...

Politifact analyzes the following statement about Joe Biden to assess whether it is true or false: When Joe Biden’s son Hunter was serving as "a director to Ukraine’s largest private gas producer," the elder Biden "threatened to withhold $1 BILLION in...

It started in depressing fashion, but the 2020 election season may have officially begun when a right-wing group aired a vicious attack ad last week against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. The spot, which aired on a couple of major-market...

I didn't see this when it happened live, and for good reason. Usually if Zerlina Maxwell is on the panel, I change the channel. It's too bad, I thought, because I generally appreciate John Harwood as a decent journalist and, from the little I know of...

The reasons given for hating and sabotaging Tulsi Gabbard’s campaign—notably in a combined ActBlue/DailyKos fund-raising appeal designed to remove Tulsi from Congress—strike me as profoundly bogus. Her measured, slow, thoughtful explanations of exactly...

As recently recognized by two prominent New York Times columnists, the right wing in this country is populated by some truly awful human beings. Two of them, Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi, are firmly entrenched in Donald Trump’s “inner circle.” Because...

Since I don’t have cable, I’m spared watching Sean Hannity — but I do listen to him during drive time radio, for as long as I can stand. Some days are worse than ever. I listen, because if you want a shortcut to the weaponized stupid the GOP is...

Earlier today, Keith Ellison tweeted a link to an article titled “If You're Liberal and You Think Hillary Clinton Is Corrupt and Untrustworthy, You're Rewarding 25 Years of GOP Smears”.
The article was written in January and is certainly worth a...

Harry Reid has given numerous examples of just how Democrats should be street-fighting Trump. For example, Reid has called Trump:
“Sexual predator”
“Fraud”
A person about whom the FBI is witholding “explosive information” about his...

So I dropped in to the Barnes & Noble in Rockville, MD today (looking for a journal) and this is what I saw. I started to do my usual thing — I do this at Costco also — of covering books by right-wing crazies (e.g., Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, etc.)...

I am increasingly coming to suspect that the "untrustworthy" meme so assiduously promoted by our mainstream media, and so totally unfounded, means that someone with very deep pockets is deathly afraid of what Mrs. Clinton might do in office.

Another presidential campaign means it's time to bring back the "Latest Lie" series.
And here's the latest lie. Campaigning in Nebraska Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton said, "Well, we're not going there, my friends. I'm telling you right now...

There have been numerous diaries today calling Senator Sanders a “liar” and claiming that he is “smearing” Hillary Clinton and calling her “corrupt.” Yet none of them provide any support whatsoever to back up their claims. I keep asking for a link, a...

Like any good country doctor, Howard Dean has always had a knack for cutting through half-truths and innuendo and bringing the discussion back down to terra firma. The reports that Hillary has literally dozens and dozens of "fossil fuel lobbyists"...

Recently, some have attacked Clinton for taking a tiny percentage of her campaign contributions from supposed “fossil fuel interests.” Here, we show how much of a stretch those claims are:
First there are the direct contributions from people...

I don’t support Bernie Sanders, I think his proposals are too expensive and the tax hikes it would require would be economically and politically unfeasible. That said, I do not approve people claiming that having him in the White House would mean purges a
