Now it’s sniveling fascist De Santis, a Trump wannabee without the gift for grotesque, barnyard theatrics that the orange one commands.

Forgiveness is up to your personal credo, but we must never forget.

for her filthy, deliberate defamation, claiming that Carroll is lying about Trump’s sexual assault.

To save our country, the full weight of the law must be brought down on MAGA.

Danny Kessler just encapsulated MAGA for me.

The January-February issue of Mother Jones is dedicated to a many-faceted examination of “how American oligarchy operates, and the toll it takes on everyone else.”

This is their Holy Grail, ending the ability of the Unted States government to protect and support American life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness–sandbagging all government regulation.  That, along with destroying reproductive rights for women. This is why the right-wing judiciary was installed by the Republicans, funded by the evangelicals and the oligarchs.

Mark Joseph Stern at Slate describes the actions of the totally out of control, hopelessly corrupt and extreme right-wing majority on the Court.

These GOP justices are not pro-life, not by a long shot.  They are anti-life, anti-America subversives, each of whom committed perjury to win their ill-gotten seats on the bench.

Wouldn’t it have been nice if Obama hadn’t suffered from what Dr. Justin Frank calls “Compulsive Bipartisan Syndrome,” and had actually fought for Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination?

Wouldn’t it have been nice if Hillary had run a competent campaign?

If  Biden ever cares to begin his re-election campaign, he must point out to America how much harm Trump’s judges have done to America.

Robert Reich writes at Common Dreams:

“It’s hard to come up with any group of Americans, outside of Trump and his congressional loyalists, who have done more to destroy public trust than the senior executives of America’s biggest corporations — corrupting democracy by pouring money into political campaigns, fighting unions and suppressing wages, monopolizing their markets and price-gauging consumers, and siphoning off almost all gains to shareholders.”

And most remain completely unchastened, grandstanding in Davos about restoring trust in democracy while funding treasonous GOP congress members who insist that Biden isn’t the legitimate president.

Will the corporate media again choose not to notice?

Turns out that Trump’s showing in Iowa was not nearly as strong as the corporate media–and of course, Trump’s entourage of flacks–wanted to claim.

I told the late Ellen Holly, when I interviewed her a year ago, that the fact that her role in 1959’s Take a Giant Step–I had seen it recently–didn’t lead to more movie roles and a career in Hollywood [no relation indeed!] was an indictment of that culture and community at that time. She’s wonderful in the film and looks gorgeous.

I also told her how I’d seen her in King Lear in Central Park when I was thirteen.  Unknown to me at the time, of course, behind-the-scenes maneuvering was going on that figures prominently in our biography of Diana Sands, as she and director John Berry agreed to close down Claudine to wait for James Earl Jones, who was starring as Lear with Holly as Regan in the Park. 

Holly died last December 6, at age 92–she is a presence in our biography of Diana. We also highly recommend her memoir, One Life: The Autobiography of an African American Actress.

he allowed Trump’s sideshow to steal a march on the upcoming election.

No, it is not enough, as Biden and his manege have perhaps finally realized, for Biden to refer to “the former guy.” Half of America won’t even know who you’re talking about. The Democrats have operated for years under the delusion that all of America has two graduate degrees and reads Proust on a daily basis.

Speaking of on- a- daily- basis, Biden has to keep coming out swinging against Trump’s lies and defamation. That’s right, on a daily basis. It is not enough for Biden to give an impassioned speech every once in an eternity. If Biden is not up to it, then he has to pass the torch to Newsom.
