We aren’t giving Anthony Fauci nearly enough credit. He’s a hero.

Watching a press conference this afternoon, it struck me that Anthony Fauci is a hero. When Donald Trump had fired everyone else, Anthony Fauci knew he had to stick around. I’m going to link to this eight minute video below, and if you have time to watch it, you should. Anthony Fauci is absolutely the[read more]

So let me get this straight. We could have prevented the Capitol from being overrun?

This is without a doubt, the peak of bullshit. The reason our Capitol was overrun by a violent insurrection was because… we denied the request for security? Six. Fucking. Times. This shit is insane. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sund-riot-national-guard/2021/01/10/fc2ce7d4-5384-11eb-a817-e5e7f8a406d6_story.html

Forgive me for not giving a shit about what these clowns say today.

Remember all these names you’re hearing, condemning Trump’s actions, his sedition, and inciting an insurrection. They all knew who Donald Trump was long ago. Barr. Kelly. McMaster. Porter. Priebus. Conway. All of them. The list of former Trump enablers speaking out against the storming of the Capitol is… long. (Oh look, a news alert. Elaine[read more]

It’s weird how Republicans keep trying to end our democracy

We have voting integrity. We have fair elections. But even if we didn’t, we have something that ensures our elections are fair: Auditing. Donald Trump lost the election to Joe Biden. He lost the Electoral College. He lost the popular vote. He lost every legal challenge, in every court — state or federal. He fucking[read more]

But seriously, let’s “ask China” how they tested so many people.

Buried in the subtext of a racist flourish before exiting stage right, yesterday’s press conference accidentally asked a much more important question: How did China manage to test so many people? First, China’s numbers: LOL nope. Moving on then… What China did effectively was testing, isolation, and mapping the spread. Hubei Province is no small[read more]

The one where the Washington Post accidentally highlights the generational divide of the Democratic Party

One entertaining part about being a fly on the wall is being able to read how people “of a slightly different generation” view responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. I don’t know Paul Kane or Mike DeBonis, but I do know they co-authored a piece this morning in the Washington Post that answers a question that…[read more]

White House Coronavirus Press Briefing (Probably)

The podium buzzes with people. Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx shuffle about, while Vice President Pence touches his nose and mouth, before shaking hands with four people in flight suits. We wait for President Trump to take the podium. President Trump enters from the left, shaking hands with everyone on stage. He begins reading prepared[read more]

There is no “going back to normal” after this. Things will never be the same.

It all does feel like a scene from a Michael Bay film, doesn’t it? A typecast news anchor-woman in a responsible blazer flashes across our screen, her muted voice playing in the background. “Scientists are rushing to find a cure for the vaccine, but experts say it could be over a year away.” Will Smith[read more]
