Election Insurrection 0
Farron suggests that election rejection is tantamount to insurrection as he discusses a Pennsylvania Republican who conspired to subvert the 2020 election.
Afterthought:
Methinks that attempting to overturn the results of a legitimate election is about as unAmerican as it gets.
But, apparently, none dare call it treason.
Still Rising Again after All These Years 0
Field tries to understand Nikki Haley’s attempt white-wash history in ignoring the uncomfortable fact of America’s Original Sin.
Here’s a bit of his article (emphasis in the original); follow the link for the entire post.

The Graham Cracker 0
His name is Graham, and he’s a cracker.
You can’t argue with facts (unless, of course, you are a Republican).
None Dare Call It Reason 0
False equivalence and weasel words.
“Moms for Liberty Libertines”
0
Michael in Norfolk reviews the implosion of the con artists culture war cult, “Moms For Liberty” (which Grung_e_Gene aptly tagged, “Moms for Lebensraum“).

Farron comments on the irrationality of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s most recent call for secession. (Of course, he’s wasting his breath; irrational persons can’t deal with rationality.)
Our Welfare State 0
Robert Reich (emphasis added):
“We renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country,” Donald Trump has said.

Woke to the Misdirection Play 0
LZ Granderson argues forcefully that the “wokeness” at universities is not the issue that some persons are trying to make it out to be. In his article, he calls out the misdirection play (emphasis added):
The criticism is all part of a larger bid to dismantle the attributes of diversity in general and on campus specifically. That’s why the question of merit arises from affirmative action programs, not from legacy admissions or the power of the donor class.

The Fifth Column 0
Afterthought:
If Dwight Eisenhower, Ev Dirksen, and Nelson Rockefeller came back from the grave, they would be deeply ashamed of what their Republican Party has become.
Heck, for that matter, even Richard Nixon would likely be less than pleased.
Letters of Apology 0
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
These are persons who tried to steal an election and got caught.
Frankly, it would not surprise me if they or their cohorts tried again.
We live in parlous times.

Lies and Lying Liars 0
Seth takes a closer look at Donald Trump’s poisonous, hate-full rhetoric and perfidious plans and at the right-wing news machine’s attempts to pretend they aren’t.
“Vengeance Is Ours,” Saith Republicans 0
At The Colorado Sun, Mike Littwin tries to make sense of the nonsensical. A snippet:
So why the official inquiry? Let’s go with the two most obvious reasons. One, because Donald Trump wants it. Two, because Johnson and his team, who can’t seem to do much of anything else, including passing bills to aid an embattled ally fighting off the Russians, felt they had to do something to justify their phoney-baloney jobs.
