President (for Life) Trump’s annual Dictators’ Ball at his Mar-A-Lago estate was, by all permitted accounts, a rollicking success. The event was a sellout, though the 500 highly coveted $1 million dollar tickets were restricted to “current and former dictators, their spouses, mistresses, cronies, money-launderers and weapons-suppliers, and Fox News hosts and executives.” As always, […]
“No smoking gun.” That’s the experts’ verdict on the testimony before the House Oversight Committee by ex-Trump attorney and now felon Michael Cohen. None other than media whore and accused whore-chaser Alan Dershowitz said as much. It’s a ludicrous statement. There CANNOT be a smoking gun in Cohen’s testimony. Any crimes Cohen was aware of, […]
How did Lindsey Graham, who once called Donald Trump “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot,” become his leading ally in the Senate? Perhaps this golf course conversation was a factor.

Someone needs to introduce Donald Trump to the phrase Pyrrhic Victory. Trump claims victory in his government-paralyzing Wall tantrum. In truth, he gets no Wall and $3 billion less in congressional funding than he could have had a few months ago. That “victory” comes at a cost of many more billions in a month-long hamstrung […]
All we need to do is to grit our teeth and bear the next two years. And we best keep quiet about it too — for fear of arousing red-hat lunatics into pointless argument. I hear the same sentiment everywhere — even as recently as a couple days ago in Helsinki from Finns, who are […]
We are all waiting for the other shoe(s) to drop from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Here are my thoughts (or hopes) for how it will all go down in the coming months: Don Jr. and Jared Kushner are arraigned for perjury. We already know they lied to congressional investigators about Russian meetings, and in […]
