I’m trying to be charitable about this. I really am. I want to give journalists the benefit of simply reporting, because I know all my journalist friends try to remain unbiased. But I need y’all to level with me here, because you can’t keep giving Donald Trump the benefit of his own messaging. Recently, Maggie[read more]
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]
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.

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.

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]
