Semi-retired lawyer -- had the “Western Civilization” education that right wingers want for all, but read the books. Very worried about how our institutions are failing us, one by one. Have a Springer who is much fancier than me.

For ten years, half their lives, the Cornell frat boys grew up with this crap. Time to clean house. A fish rots from its head.

Two images that define and aptly symbolize Trump’s narcissistic, lawless desecration of America.

A core part of Justice Kagan's brilliant -- and chilling -- dissent from yesterday's Supreme Court decision gutting what remains of the Voting Rights Act. Her entire dissent merits close reading -- as do the many slights of hand in the majority opinion: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Well, to be fair, the meeting wasn’t as exciting as threatening to destroy a civilization overnight. Or even as exciting as planning to desecrate our own national monuments.

An important summary of one of the most boneheaded and destructive own-goals in American history. All started by a demented madmen subject to no checks from his party. This should be the absolute last straw. Trump and his enabling GOP Congress have got to go.

Happy Easter everyone. From our stabile genius president, Donald J (for jackass) Trump. A national embarrassment, a reason for major new guardrails (and national introspection), and an ongoing, critical threat to the world.

The best exit strategy from the Iran war? Regime change. Right here at home. ASAP.

Not the worst of his sins. But Trump inherited an economy that -- despite his BS statements -- was the envy the the developed world. Now, in addition to illegal wars and murdering people here and abroad, we are in the FAFO stage of his "Putin-couldn't-ask-for-more" presidency.

Two quick, related points: 1. We are not distracted from Epstein and the DOJ’s coverup. 2. Regime change starts at home.

Here is the portion of the FBI report from 2017 that describes Epstein as a likely blackmailer who managed money for Putin. And look who shows up in the last line -- much later than Trump claims he cut ties with Epstein.

Three important things I did today — in order of importance Saw Nancy Pelosi and thanked her profusely for all she has done. (She liked my yellow Dubs t shirt.) Went to the SF March, where the above occurred. Walked my dog pre-March and grabbed lunch: a Buy-Rite lemongrass pork sandwich.
