I’m just saying, there’s a lot of Russian smoke going on here. So on Friday, The New York Times revealed that in the days following President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey, the circumstances surrounding that firing so disturbed federal law enforcement officials, that they began an investigation into whether he was actually working for Russia, against the United States. From the NYT piece: The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions... Read more

I shouldn’t be laughing about this, but I will. *Deep, rolling belly laughs* So earlier Friday we discussed Brian Kolfage, the triple amputee Iraq vet, but otherwise disreputable “fake news” pimp and all-around grifter. Kolfage is the mind behind scam sites, Freedom Daily and Right Wing News. Their Facebook pages promote sensational click-bait tales, complete with photoshopped images of all the favorite bogeymen of the right, such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and former FBI Director James Comey. In the... Read more

Buyer beware? So first things, first. How’s that GoFundMe for the southern border wall going? In December, Brian Kolfage, an Iraq war veteran and triple amputee began a crowd funding campaign to raise $1 billion to go towards the construction of the southern border wall. Now, first of all, Kolfage has sacrificed his limbs for this nation, so much thanks for his service. Apart from that well-deserved praise, however, we need to keep in mind that he’s still just a... Read more

Well, before he’s carted off to begin his three year sentence in prison, former Trump attorney and personal “fixer” has a date with the House Oversight Committee. Now that Democrats have control of the House, look for them to make some interesting moves, as it pertains to the Russia probe. This is probably the first of many of those moves, and the first of those moves to pull in a former member of Team Trump, who is also attached to... Read more

Well, here we go. The petulant man-baby in the Oval Office is playing to his base, mainly because the show is all he knows. He’s also equally convinced that they don’t actually need proof of anything, nor are they really facts-persistent. They tend to go with whatever he says, no matter how insane or unAmerican. This is why I’ve continually pointed out that Donald Trump is not the problem. The problem rests in a public that has suspended their critical... Read more

Well, here is an interesting, albeit, not unexpected development. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to sources, is likely to leave his post, shortly. It was the popular belief that once former Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced out, Rosenstein would follow. However, Rosenstein had suggested that he would stay on until the Russia probe being conducted by special counsel Robert Mueller was complete, or near completion. From ABC News: Rosenstein has communicated to President Donald Trump and White House... Read more

So let’s talk about former Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, for a bit. There have been some developments. First of all, back in September 2018 Manafort agreed to take a plea deal. He would plead guilty to several charges of conspiracy, and he’d also cooperate with federal authorities. He was convicted on bank and tax fraud charges, after being wrapped up in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. But Mueller accused Manafort in late... Read more

Isn’t this a little premature? While there are many waiting for the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on the Russia probe with bated breath, just the prospect is causing some discomfort for some of the captains of Team Trump. If you’re wondering to yourself why the team that has insisted that there is no trace of collusion to stress over is now suddenly stressed, you would not be alone. It’s a valid thought, but for now, according... Read more

President Trump moved further to solidify his image as a petulant authoritarian, would-be despot on Friday. In a Rose Garden press conference, the president discussed the ongoing government shutdown, now two weeks in, and the future of the border wall. While suggesting that the shutdown could drag on for months (or even years), he also suggested that there were ways to get around Congress, in order to get the border wall built. According to ABC News, he has suggested “reprogramming”... Read more

On Thursday, a host of freshmen Congressmen and women were sworn in, excited and eager to begin their chapter of political service in this great experiment known as the United States of America. Of that new class, there was Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, out of New York. She’s also potentially the dumbest, most unqualified individual to be elected to public office since Donald Trump was elected – and that’s saying a lot. Now, to be clear, those that thought posting... Read more
