Old Time American Values

Trumponomics:



Mike Pence's vision of America:



These are NOT aberrations, they are old time American values.

Build An American Left



Thanks to the neofascist Republicans and the neoliberal Democrats, interest in the Communist Party USA is on the rise. And why shouldn't it be? Capitalism has reached a stage of toxicity beyond what even Marx and Engels imagined.

The CPUSA does not exactly function as a political party in the United States. For instance, the last Presidential election in which members of the CPUSA ran was 1984. The "party" (such as it is) functions as a source of information and mutual support for those who know that something is rotten in our current political system.

For example, this sort of political inanity is simply unsustainable:

Become part of the solution today.

As Anyone Who Is Paying Attention Knows...



...the neoliberal Democrats are no alternative to the neofascist Republicans.



Don't mind me. I'm just a member of the Greek chorus bearing witness to the unfolding tragedy that is the American Empire.

Articles Of Impeachment



Articles of Impeachment could have been drawn up for all of the U.S. Presidents pictured above; only Bill Clinton was impeached and he survived the process. The war crimes of Clinton, Bush, and Obama failed to arouse the ire of Congress, as have the war crimes of Donald Trump. What constitutes an impeachable offense in the eyes of Congress appears to have little to do with the Constitutionality of the President's actions and everything to do with partisan political calculations. As a consequence, there is no clear standard available to the American people for determining whether or not the Chief Executive is liable to be impeached.

The Democan-Republicrat duopoly disenfranchised the American electorate long ago. Our politics are all spectacle.



By the way, what was with Rehnquist's stripes?

A Simple Question



To the Democrats who vilified James Comey for costing Clinton the 2016 Presidential election (which he didn't do) and who now lionize him for bringing down Trump (which he has not done) I ask: At what point would you be willing to entertain the suggestion that you do not have a clue about what is going on in American politics?

Can You Imagine?

Can you imagine what it must be like to work at HUD under the inimitable Ben Carson?



Some entrepreneurial type ought to be selling tickets, that's all I can say.
