Lawrence O’Donnell chooses optimism. I choose realism.
Lawrence O’Donnell is a national treasure and his perspective on US politics pulls no punches, his observations are incisive and relevant. O’Donnell has it wrong here and I want to explain why. This is the type of non critical thinking that I will always be calling out. Having an optimistic outlook emanates from a deeper…

Walz vs Vance prediction
Debate is on in about 20 mins and this will go well for Walz and very badly for Vance. The reason that I can be so confident even though Vance is not an imbecile like Trump is that in spite of his Yale credentials, or any credentials for that matter, he will crumble because he…

Oh No, Two Minutes in and Kamala has Fucked Up Badly.
She’s very nervous, but Trump is talking now and he sounds equally over prepared and nervous. Neither of them are connecting at this stage. Kamala needs to gather herself, fast. more updates soon… This is worse than Biden by far. I can’t watch any longer. What a fucking disaster. This will be very bad for…

Empowering Women: The Key to Saving Democracy
Maybe the anointing of J.D. Vance changed the balance of this race but whatever Biden could and should have done is now moot. I felt Biden was the right candidate to defeat Trump had he solved the puzzle of Trump’s lies, instead at the fateful debate, Trump’s lies washed over him like a spell. And…

Trump keeps threatening retribution. That’s the role of J. D. Vance.
I thought he’d go for Doug Burgum, for a semblance of normalcy and weapons grade obsequiousness, and most importantly someone who would not try and steal the attention from Trump or use this immense position of power for his own benefit. In my defence all the other pundits were blindsided as well. Trump is secure…

3am in DC and the Dems are in meltdown mode.
It is incomprehensible that just because Trump’s endless stream of outright lies was coupled with a calmer demeanour, and that Biden did not make a good delivery or rebuttal, that it’s as if the content of the character of these two individuals is utterly irrelevant. As if a calmer but equally batshit crazy, dangerous and…

After debate chatter.
The general reaction seems to be appropriately at the ease with which Trump was allowed to spray out the usual firehose of lies with absolute and total impunity. Insane. Good thing the Biden camp had the idea to run this debate early, Biden has way overthought this and played it wrong. Trump must have felt…

It is not getting any better, debate wise.
I cannot fucking believe this, Trump risibly boasts about ‘acing’ his ‘cognitive tests’, and while Biden was smiling, when he was given the chance to respond Biden just talks up his golf game and challenges Trump which is going to get memed to death, surely. Why didn’t Biden simply respond laughingly that the tests that…

The 2024 Presidential Debate, 15mins in and Biden is stumbling.
WTF seriously? 17mins in and I had to turn away, how is Biden looking so feeble, how is he allowing Trump to feign an air of normality and talk complete bullshit and lies without any refutation or pushback. Once they start spinning this later it’s only going to get worse. Nevertheless this debate marks the…

A Tripp down memory lane.
Woke up to the news that Linda Tripp has passed away today and it seemed appropriate to mark that occurrence by finally getting this blog, which has been gestating for about ten years, underway. Tripp, being a crucial player is a natural segue into the Lewinsky/Clinton scandal and the headline was irresistible. Tripp is only…
