We go to maybe 1 or 2 games every year, but I couldn’t help but get sucked into the playoffs this year with the Seattle Mariners making a good run at it. Game 7 of the ALCS was painful. I’m not even a huge fan, but have to admit I got a taste of what the true fans must’ve been feeling this week.

The charlatan posing as the US Secretary of Health and Human Services made some typically stupid statements the other day that pretty much got lost in the noise that is the Trump Administration. I was particularly struck by his statement that they were doing studies to “make” the proof 1/2

What a show this incompetent women put on for the nation on Tuesday. Representing “the most transparent administration in history,” she refused to answer questions posed by US senators performing their constitutional role in overseeing the executive branch.

I’ve been struck by how much enthusiasm is being expressed in the MAGAverse for Dear Leader setting the military against “we the people,” with absolutely no concern whatsoever for compliance with laws like the Posse Comitatus Act or constitutionally protected state sovereignty, that pesky 1/2

Another craven institutional capitulation to creeping authoritarianism as Disney takes Jimmy Kimmel off the air. And the freakin’ fascists hadn’t even started to push very hard yet. This is what Timothy Snyder warns not to do in “On Tyrrany.”

Another Russian drone incursion into NATO airspace on the heels of the Poland incident Tuesday is no mistake, despite Dear Leader’s willingness to brush it aside as a mere “mistake” earlier this week. Some say that Putin is sending Donald a message. Ya think? More like a one-finger salute.
