Civil War Anyone?

Rather than restating what you all have heard on the news, I will give you the Cliff Notes. Bill Taylor testified on October 22nd, 2019 to the impeachment inquiry committee. He directly tied Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State and through him William Barr, the Attorney General to this criminal endeavor led by the President,

No Consequences

It has become brutally apparent that neither the G.O.P. House or Senate will take action against Trump. They have abandoned their constitutional duty to be a check and balance on the other two branches of our democracy. Their control of Congress and the Senate means there are going to be NO CONSEQUENCES for Trump, regardless

First Amendment Falls

Less than an hour ago it was announced that Trump has stripped former C.I.A. Director John Brennan of his security clearance.  When President Trump debased himself at the Helsinki summit.  Mr. Brennan was one of the first and most adamant critics of the President.  Going as far as to say that his behavior rose to

Devin Sure Ain’t From Heaven

 Ever since Devin did his midnight ride of March 21st, 2017 to the White House to share classified material.  President Trump and some of his cronies were there late.  Not that the classified material was above the President’s clearance, but Nunes thought that it might be something useful to Donald about his unsubstantiated claim he was

A Sliver of Responsible Action

    On July 10th, 2018 the Senate voted 96 to 2 in favor of re-affirming the United States commitment to NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).  This is following meetings of Trump with our NATO allies, where he berates them time and again.  He claims that the Germans are under Russian control because they buy

This abomination of what America stands for has been going on for several weeks now.   Sixteen days ago on June 20th, 2018 tRump signed the executive order to stop the separation of children from their parents.  Problems are that it is only temporary and it doesn’t do anything for the 3000+ children that were already

Scott Pruitt, how do you do it?

Leading the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is Scott Pruitt.  One of Trump’s close millionaire buddies.  He has filed numerous suits to weaken EPA.  At his Senate confirmation hearing, he stated that “the link between global warming and human activity is unclear.”  He consistently flies first class or by private charter jets.  He ordered two desks

I hereby demand . . .

The rest of the title goes; “I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes — and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!”  This was the

Badger’s Crystal Ball

This post will be a bit different than most here.  Rather than the whole post being from a specific date, it will be a series of posts from different dates.  If I see something that makes me think I see a pattern developing, an eventual outcome or even just an incident that is likely to

Welcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends

The title comes from the lyrics of a 70’s band called Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.  The song is Karn Evil 9.  The lyrics are worth looking up and reading through.  It describes our situation with amazing insight from nearly a half-century ago.  In my opinion, the Karn Evil is a metaphor for an evil carnival.
