Man, We Ain’t Ever Going to Get Another Stimulus Check
First, there were talks and then the talks were off. Then there were talks about the talks and then those talks were off. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Pelosi’s $3.4 trillion coronavirus proposal was too high. Then Republicans slapped together some bullshit bill that ol’ turkey neck McConnell, with his Mitch-ass, was pushing…

Republican Senator Puts White House on Notice and Then Remembers He’s a Republican and Backtracks
I don’t know much about the spine. I know that it’s like a fuse box inside the body and that all of the central nervous system is hooked into it. I also know that baffling scientists everywhere, one GOP member is appearing to grow one back. Well, kind of. On Wednesday, Oklahoma Republican Sen. James…

GTFOH Trump Watch: Just Because You Don’t Acknowledge It Doesn’t Mean It Ain’t So
I don’t think powerful white people understand how this works. And, maybe that is America’s fault. Maybe America didn’t do the hard work of teaching them that sometimes things won’t go their way. Sometimes the hero (both actual and perceived) loses. And sometimes, no matter how much of a temper tantrum they throw, they aren’t…

White People Will Believe Anything…Except Facts
The Democrats stole the election for Joe Biden. It’s becoming painfully obvious that the Democratic Party somehow convinced the Republican legislatures of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to throw the elections in their respective states. And, after bellyaching for five years about Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, obstruction and three stolen Supreme Court seats, for…

GTFOH Trump Watch: There Is No There There
Imagine the president of the United States calling his staff into the Oval Office to show them an imaginary ham sandwich on the Resolute desk. The president wants to know who put it there. One by one, staff members come in and are questioned about the ham sandwich that they don’t see. And one by…

Umm, What? White House Tells Federal Agency to Prepare Budget for Next Fiscal Year Like Trump’s Not Going to Be in Prison
In what might be the most defiant middle finger to President-elect Joe Biden, the voting process, the election, righteous America and Howard University, lame-duck President Trump and his lame-duck staff have instructed federal agencies to continue working on the administration’s budget proposal for the next fiscal year, which is usually issued in February around the…

Trump Forms PAC, Ensuring Republicans Don’t Form Spines While He’s Out of the White House
Trump is spiraling. He’s filed lawsuits against states claiming election fraud, and those states, especially Nevada, are just laughing at him. He’s run out here making all kinds of baseless accusations that ignore the one obvious fact: America didn’t want him in the White House anymore, so they voted him out. That’s it, that’s the…
