In Trump Republicans trust Trump voters are more likely to believe the former president is telling them the truth than their friends and family or religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll. (Axios, August 21, 2023) That, of course, is the very definition of cult worship. After all, nobody in their right mind… Read more.
‘How come that dude gets all of these, like, hot women?’ the senator asked. ‘Pete Davidson was dating Kate Beckinsale — I mean, you’re talking Underworld. You’re talking, like, super hot vampire in black leather trench coat, and you’re like, ‘Really? The SNL dude? Like, wow.’’ (Rolling Stone May 21, 2022) And now he’s dating… Read more.
By congressional practice, the confirmation hearing for Ketanji Brown Jackson gave senators an opportunity to examine her fitness to sit on the Supreme Court.

But he could have explained that as a reflection of the craven art of politics that defined the Republican Party during… Read more.
I have been utterly stupefied lately by voters expressing remorse after getting exactly what they voted for. Not least because it was plain to see in each case what the fallout would be. Cases in point: Greek voters buying the Syriza promise that they could have their euro and spend it too with respect to… Read more.
The leading Republican presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, spent most of last week hurling schoolyard insults at each other, all in a vainglorious attempt to defend the honor of their wives, respectively.
