The Biden Binky

 

They'll be handing these out to liberals for the next four years. After all the stress of the Trump years (much of it self-induced), liberals will be able to go back to sleep as Joe Biden returns the Empire to the project of militarism and neo-liberal imperialism.

What a relief it must be to stick the Biden binky in your mouth and believe that, with a Democrat in the White House, all is well with the world.

 

 
 

There Is No "Soft Coup"

Donald Trump's refusal to concede the election of 2020 is irrelevant. The certification of the results in Joe Biden's favor will serve as his eviction notice from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

There is no "soft coup" in the offing; just Trump's usual bad manners.

Joe Blunder

 

Because of his leadership style (for lack of a better term), Donald Trump has made the 2020 election a referendum on himself. If Trump is repudiated on November 3rd, Joe Biden--a man who hardly campaigned for the office--will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. He will fill the role of "any functioning adult"--like one of the Vice-Presidents who succeeded a President who died in office. So he could turn out to be memorable like Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, or LBJ. Then again, he could be easily forgotten like John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, or Andrew Johnson. But first things first: if Trump is not repudiated, Biden will be just another footnote in a long line of Democratic Party blunders. 

It is important to note, as well, that "being memorable" is not necessarily a good thing: We remember Truman for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan and LBJ for his escalation of the war on Vietnam. Joe Biden has never seen a war he didn't like or vote for. That's not likely to change.

 

Watch and Think!

Biden Speech to Clarence Thomas 

One can learn a great deal about Joe Biden from this speech--as he makes a great show of his "impartiality" while reassuring Clarence Thomas of his support (Strom Thurmond, Biden's old segregationist Senate mentor sitting at his right, adds his own reassurance at the end of the clip). 

While it is never easy to follow Biden's train of thought, he appears to imply that the standard for evaluating the merit of Anita Hill's testimony is the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard of criminal law. Did he not know the correct standard? Or would the correct standard not yield the result he desired? 

And where is the "lifelong stutterer" we've heard so much about? I see no evidence of anything like that in this extended speech. But the most important question as far as I'm concerned is this: how does one get off this ship of fools?

The Trump Presidency

 

Dear Liberals

Try as you might, Joe Biden is Joe Biden: you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ears.

Pathetic Clowns

Trump and his white supremacist minions are living on borrowed time. The browning of the world will overtake them and the Democrats alike (Biden was mentored by Dixiecrats, including Strom Thurmond). A difference, in order to be a difference, has to make a difference. In the long run, demographics will accomplish what politics cannot.

May Bernie Sanders Finally Bring An End To The Clintonian "New Democrat"

And bring the Democratic Party back to the progressive "Old Left" of the early 20th century, giving the American electorate a MEANINGFUL choice of political visions.

Beggars Can't Be Choosers

By international standards, Bernie Sanders is not the Socialist he claims to be, but a social democrat. But in the Age of American Imperialism and Neo-Liberal Capitalism unleashed, a social democrat with a significant following in the U.S. represents a small ray of hope in an otherwise hopelessly dismal political climate.

Run, Bernie, run! You're no Eugene V. Debs but, then, who really is these days?



Bernie is actually more of a "Fighting Bob" La Follette.

Stone Cold Idiot

We have former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill to thank for this spot-on description of Donald Trump after his latest display of profound ignorance, i.e., congratulating the state of Kansas on the Super Bowl victory of the Kansas City, Missouri, Chiefs.

Dirtbag Dershowitz deserves to be disbarred.

Anyone who would stand up in front of the U.S. Senate and attempt to justify the essence of despotism, i.e., when a public official conflates his or her personal political interests with the national interest, should be banned from the Senate Chamber for life.

Dershowitz is as much of a moral midget as the man he represents.

The Case Against Donald Trump

Clueless Donald Trump believed that he could conduct the nation's business with Ukraine (and, at the same time, his own personal political business) through wheeling and dealing. Rudy Giuliani, who conducts himself like a lawyer for the Italian Mafia, saw nothing wrong with Trump's methods, and so he assisted Trump in his political self-destruction.

Trump is a victim of his own hubris and ignorance, but also of the hubris and ignorance of those with whom he has surrounded himself.

It is time to bring these fools to justice.
