Socialism!!!

Will The Señor Trumpanzee #CocaineConvention Manage To Generate A Reverse Bounce?

I'm still hoping lots and lots of people watch the Republican #CocaineConvention. That's because I think it will turn off independent voters and may even persuade some mainstream-- as in non-fascist-- Republicans to stay home on November 3rd. Unfortunately, according to Nielsen, just 15.9 million people watched, a 28% drop from 2016.

So You Don’t Like Socialism? Socialism Doesn’t Work, You Say? Then Please…

I hope someone shows this to Joe Biden and his speech-writers-by NoahThe 2020 Republican Con-Vention is here. Already, their advertising is calling Joe Biden a "radical socialist" (I wish!). So, prepare for endless fear mongering about "Socialism!!!" In doing that, Republicans always deliver a tsunami of their brand of hypocrisy.

Bernie Is Favored To Win In New Hampshire-- Both On Tuesday And In November

Trump keeps whining that New Hampshire is a state he can win in November and tells his campaign manager he wants to contest the state. That's because he remembers winning the first-in-the-nation primary in 2016 and because he remembers how close it was in the general election. The final score was 348,521 (47.6%) for Clinton to 345,789 (47.2%) for Trump.

That all eroded with the infamous Anaconda Road Massacre-- a corporate/fascist  response to the Industrial Workers of the World and the Metal Mine Workers Industrial Union strike in 1920.

Do you ever read Richard Rohr's daily meditations? Rohr is a Franciscan friar, an author who started the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque in 1986. He argues the need for a bottom-up (grassroots) approach to replace the traditional top-down approach that infected Christianity in the time of Constantine.

I Wonder If Pundits Predicting That The GOP Will Keep Control Of The Senate Factor In Schumer's Incompetence

As Trump's leader-less FEC prepared for Hurricane Dorian's landfall Saturday morning, Trump took time out of his busy schedule of golfing and not going to Poland to tweet about giving the wealthiest Americans another tax cut and to start fighting with his reality TV doppelgänger Omarosa, who he brought into the government and then fired:

Acting Like Republicans Isn't How You Beat Republicans

Conventional wisdom from the corporate media and from #NeverTrump Republicans who saw their party taken over by a carnival barker and 2 bit charlatan, is constant and unwavering: Democrats need to be more like "moderate" conservative Republicans-- you, know, like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Marco Rubio... all the clowns the carnival barker and 2 bit charlatan turned to mincemeat.
