If there is anyone left in the US—no, even in the rest of the world!—who didn’t know earlier that the Good Ole Piranhas (aka GOP aka Republicans) are immature, self-destructive fascist idiots who are incapable of governing a sandbox in a schoolyard, they only had to watch the torturous proceedings in the chambers of the… Continue reading ‘Twas quite the debacle!

What-ifs about Afghanistan…
Let’s face it: The evacuation from Afghanistan is another “Saigon moment.” But does Biden own it? Multiple presidents have committed blunders there. He’s just joined that gang. I want to go through this dark stretch of American history a bit here. It’s longer than you might remember. Most people have forgotten the reasons why we… Continue reading What-ifs about Afghanistan…
