Sure, because the 1000 FBI agents he had scrubbing the files for months (24/7) were only redacting IDs of victims. Trump has emboldened his minions to lie to the rest of us the way he lies to his MAGA followers, as if the “absolute” immunity the Supreme Court granted him applies to them, too.

As the world gathers to celebrate Christmas, wars continue to devastate in far too many places.
This year-end iPINIONS post confronts the moral dissonance of looking away, and asks what it means to celebrate peace while others endure catastrophe.

Remember Crazy Eddie, the electronics pitchman who screamed that his low prices were “insane”? Trump sounded eerily similar, barking claims about “insanely low” inflation and grocery prices as if volume alone could suspend disbelief.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Wiles comes off like a battered spouse. Everyone knows that Trump hates alcoholics more than Mexicans. So it's no coincidence that she's quoted describing him as a functional drunk. But like so many battered spouses, she ends up defending this abuser, too.

A simple cartoon. Three panels. One uncomfortable question. What you see says less about the image and far more about you. This post looks at how race, indifference, and moral responsibility reveal themselves in what viewers choose to notice… or ignore.

Oh, there's Lil' Marco... not negotiating peace in Europe or the Middle East, but making excuses for murdering Latinos in the Caribbean. Because Trump only hired him to be the Latino face of his Yankee imperialism in Latin America. Useful idiot!

MAGA figures venting outrage know they’re just wrestling with a pig, and they love it. They're just “owning the libs.” That’s why their grief-stricken TV hits and social posts are missing any public declaration that they can no longer support a man so thoroughly and irredeemably vile.

Rob Reiner didn’t just play a liberal on TV. He lived it. From puncturing American bigotry through comedy to confronting it head-on in politics, he proved progressivism isn’t performative; it’s a duty. RIP, Rob.

Bless the victims, and damn the gunmen. But Netanyahu has blood on his hands for a genocidal crusade in Gaza that has incited global rage. Now Jews are even treating Palestinians in the West Bank as disposable. So it's no wonder extremists are trying to treat Jews in the diaspora the same way.

NASCAR didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning. The greedy barons of this sport finally realized that a jury verdict would even strip them of their shirts. Here's to Jordan for proving that whether on the courts, in the boardroom, or on the racetrack, he’s an undeniable champion.

First Udoka with the Celtics, now this: blowing jobs of a lifetime for a side piece. Power, ego, entitlement, and a lack of basic self-control. This is just reckless, boneheaded, incomprehensible stupidity. But it’s just another one for the rogues' scroll of sex making smart men do stupid things.

Because “best podcast” is for talent with some socially redeeming value, not rage-baiting, conspiracy-peddling, and farming outrage for profit.

Paramount (new CBS) is finding out what MTG and far too many other MAGA sycophants learned the hard way: Trump is like the scorpion in the cautionary fable of the Scorpion and the Frog. No matter how much you pay in bribes, sing his praises, or kiss his ass, sooner or later, he will sting you.
