Wow! All the Good Ole Piranhas’ jaws are already snapping as these fascists continue to tear democratic meat from the body politic. Moscow Mitch McConnell has declared that they’ll push for a federal ban of abortion if they win both houses of Congress—he and his fellow fascists focus more on “that leak” in a feeble… Continue reading The 2022 midterms…

Five old men taking away rights!
I’ve discussed the fascist Supreme Court judges before: Alito and Thomas, nominees from previous administrations, the first who would be comfortable among Hitler’s henchmen because of his eugenics arguments in that leaked draft decision, the second a traitor to all his fellow blacks; Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Comey Bryant, Trump’s nominees, the first there because the… Continue reading Five old men taking away rights!
Do we trust Elon Musk?
I’ll admit the guy has vision. He had the idea that became PayPal, which is a lot better than Zelle or any of its competitors (Zelle has become a scammer’s go-to money-transfer site). Tesla and Space-X came along and proved his vision in spades. Unlike the other two rich boys with their expensive rocket toys,… Continue reading Do we trust Elon Musk?
Hey, Russians, who’s gonna pay for Putin’s War?
You are, of course! Do you think your psychotic wannabe Peter the Great and all his sycophantic oligarchs are going to pay the billions necessary to replace that battlecruiser Moskva? For all those tanks and other military equipment lost? For all those burials of Russian soldiers (as I write this, now estimated to be 15,000… Continue reading Hey, Russians, who’s gonna pay for Putin’s War?
General Dvornikov, beware!
Six down! Maybe General Dvornikov will be number seven? The Russian troops are untrained raw recruits, mere lads drafted unwillingly to fight Putin’s War. They don’t care about Putin’s dream about becoming the next Peter the Great because they know that dream has become their nightmare. They know people at home don’t know what’s going… Continue reading General Dvornikov, beware!
2022 midterms…
The 2022 midterm elections are coming, and the fascist Good Ole Piranhas are swarming around in their cesspool of autocracy, their needle-toothed maws dripping with sewage that they intend to spew out over the land. What’s patently obvious and irksome to no end, pushing them into a frenzy, is that we’re still a democracy despite… Continue reading 2022 midterms…
The message from the wounded and the dead…
We all watch the scenes showing the atrocities Putin has committed with his evil war and grimace. Of course, this monster doesn’t care what any sane person thinks—he’s a monster and a war criminal. But the Russian people will eventually care. Having lived through the Vietnam era, I know that neither the internet nor even… Continue reading The message from the wounded and the dead…
Why do we need a US Senate?
Like many people (maybe Mr. Biden among them, although he’s too much a coward to say it), I’m fed up with the damn Senate! That’s not just because GOP fascists are attacking a SCOTUS nominee who has far more creds than anyone Trump and the Good Ole Piranhas have recently supported, all fascists. You’ve seen… Continue reading Why do we need a US Senate?
The US doesn’t keep its word…
It seems ages ago, but I was impressed by a Ukrainian parliamentarian interviewed on CNN who reminded me how the US went back on its word. Here’s the historical context: When the USSR collapsed at the end of the twentieth century, Ukraine was loaded with Russian nukes. Both the UK, the US, and Russia promised… Continue reading The US doesn’t keep its word…
Drinking the autocrats’ Kool-Aid…
The American and Russian people have something terrible in common: A large number from each group drank the Kool-Aid of their evil autocrats. Too many believed and still believe Trump’s battle cry to “make America great again”; the majority of Russians are too tolerant of Putin’s “make Russia great again.” And both groups of morons… Continue reading Drinking the autocrats’ Kool-Aid…
