THE GOP’S SAVAGE PARTISANSHIP AND LAWLESSNESS

is enabled by the Democrats’ endless capitulations.

In The Intercept, Jon Schwartz writes:

“Republicans and their conservative media apparatus are engaged in a continuous war against Democrats — or any Republican who moves an inch out of lock step. Democrats exist in a permanent defensive crouch, willing to throw any part of their coalition to the wolves at a moment’s notice and failing to even articulate this dynamic, let alone fight it. For their part, many Washington journalists allow Republicans to set the agenda by credulously covering even the flimsiest of attacks as legitimate scandals.”

His article is accurately titled “Jared Kushner Still Has a Job Because Washington Only Fears Republicans.”

TRUMP IS DUMB AND EVIL

I may wait and write a bit about Golden Cockerel for pub.

But if ever its caricature of a feckless, inept leader spoke volumes, it’s today in the U.S.

No, Trump, you are not “smart.” You are as stupid and reckless as anything the world has seen. Everything you do is an incitement to terrorism, endless carnage, violence, so blatantly you are perhaps doing it deliberately–that would make you Machiavellian, but still not smart.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Alexei Ratmansky’s The Golden Cockerel ends a four-performance run at American Ballet Theatre today. You need to see it. I’ll talk more about it later. Man, I’m busy.

But I saw it Thursday night for the first time and really enjoyed it–it’s not your standard anything.

DR. KRUGMAN GETS THIS VERY WRONG

No, Dr. K, nuclear power is not a “non-polluting” power source–anything but.

Major emissions are released during the uranium enrichment process and nuclear power generation itself produces plutonium that stays toxically radioactive for thousands and thousands of years.

Why do I have to remind someone as intelligent as you?

PENCE IS PART OF THE EXISTENTIAL THREAT

His comments today pinning concern about climate change on a “left-wing agenda,” show his total unfitness to be not only Vice-President, but doubly so President if/when Trump is removed/reigns.

Of course he was speaking on “Fox and Friends,” the fakest reality-fabrication on TV–and that’s saying something.

WHITE HOUSE, INC. ISN’T JUST APOCALYPTIC

it’s hopelessly retro.

Part of its destruction of the U.S. economy, let alone the continued ability of the planet to sustain human life, derives from its utter ignorance or apathy toward the fact that renewable energy and environmental protection are job multipliers.

FLYING MONKEY MICK MULVANEY

True to form, this singularly immoral misinformation mixmaster continues the White House, Inc.’s attack on objective fact by attacking the non partisan Congressional Budget Office because it blows the lid off Mulvaney’s, Price’s, Trump’s, the GOP’s “health care” bill and the devastation it will wreck on America.

IN THAT CASE

Since GOP Rep. Wahlberg says that God will take care of global warming, we can also be sure that He will intervene in all military conflicts as well as solve the terrorist threat. Therefore, the billions that we spend on those budget items can just be restored to the U.S. Treasury, can’t they?
