("I support my country 100% of the time and the government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain.)
Yes, the Trump "administration" is so desperate, stupid and ignorant
that they're actually asking a federal judge to overrule the Supreme Court.
"Fauci's throwing out the first pitch, huh? Well, so am I! On the 15th!"
Yankees: "?!"
"On second thought, no I'm not."

Typhoid Mary didn't invent typhus, but she DID spread it. She will forever own that name.
Trump did not create coronavirus but he DID allow it to spread. He will forever own this. It will be the albatross around his neck whether or not he likes it.
We may be close to a vaccine. I'm cautiously optimistic but I'm also worried about the cost. The clinical trials thus far have been taxpayer-funded but Big Pharma has a long and nasty history of not caring about that when gouging the public.
In calling the Russia investigation "bogus", Bill Barr is laughably, in his attempt to present himself as independent and impartial, echoing Trump's rhetoric about the probe.
Which did it better?
Your co-Brad o' the day.
Guess who just got a 12 hour time out from Twitter for pushing COVID-19 conspiracy theories? This douchebag.
Cartoon intermission.
At times, stories thousands of years-old get retold and sometimes, they're imitated in life. Take Trump and his daughter Ivanka, a modern-day Oedipus and Antigone. Antigone completely gave herself over to her tyrannical father regardless of his many flaws. Yet in the plays, Oedipus had a Greek Chorus to tell him where he was going wrong and what was to happen. Yet in this retelling, Oedipus is insulated from the Chorus or he calls it "fake news."

These fascist thugs, whether federal cops, mercs or (which is the likeliest
case) both are using the same exact tactics as the equally fascist
Israeli IDF in picking out then picking off the medics. True, the
Israelis use live rounds and kill people but we're not far from that as
they're firing tear gas canisters directly into the chests of medics.
Yes, they're firing them like they're gigantic bullets and trying to
take out the medics so the wounded can't get treated.
If Portland was a battleground in a foreign land, these would be Geneva Convention human rights violations and the perpetrators harshly sanctioned.
Another example of Trump's storm troopers bringing peace, law and order to Portland.
Thanks to Bill Barr & Gym Jordan, the right wing circus has come back to DC.
Your co-Brads o' the day.
Maybe someone should've told Barr about this during his shitshow testimony on Tuesday.

BLM, Never-Trumpers and the voters at large are the Chorus.
Three men set the planet on fire in late May 2020. One was George Floyd, who was murdered by the second one, Derek Chauvin.
The third was "Umbrella Man", who's been identified as a white supremacist and member of the Hell's Angels and Aryan Cowboys motorcycle ganqs. Police know who he is. Here's the video of him vandalizing the Auto Zone that was torched.
Despite this evidence, the police haven't released his name and that's because they haven't charged him.

Why not?
No comment.
This illegal bullshit has Bill Barr's greasy fingerprints smeared all over it.
See, I knew there had to be some give and take between these lunatics.
Then please stop calling them "progressives." They're right wing, Republican REgressives. Medicare has a 3% operating budget. That alone makes it appealing to real progressives. (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader, CC.)
Dear God but this man's a fucking moron.
Trumpie the Klown's campaign slogan ought to be, "An AR-15 in every pair of white suburban hands."
Auf Wiedersehen Deutschland. I suppose the only thing left for him to do after this is to leave NATO and accept the Order of Lenin.
Another Brad o' the day.
Facts are stubborn things. Luckily, the GOP always finds inner reserves of strength to resist them regardless of national strife.
Because he didn't want to be seen as a "pro Trump ideologue"?!
At 26 minutes into this video, Trumpie the Klown abruptly and cravenly terminates a press conference when CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed him about the quack whose video he retweeted, the one that got Half Scoop suspended on Twitter.
Gee, I can't imagine how Susan Collins wound up on the Lincoln Project's radar screen.
So, the Russian Vice President finally admitted on the record that he refused to raise the issues of the bounties on US troops in Afghanistan with his boss Putin.

But Axios' Jonathan Swan said that was the least shocking part of his interview.
So, Trump had a telerally with Iowa Tuesday night and he expanded on his white suburbia dog whistling this afternoon.
Now Trump's walking like a pirate and dragging and swinging his right leg.
As much as I dislike and always will dislike Obama and his right wing, neolib policies and fiddle fucking with this election, it's still literally impossible to imagine this being broached during his tenure. Demons and semen from aliens?
Trump's plan to embed thugs in Portland's streets has been such a disaster, Oregon officials and Mike Pence have been working behind his back to get them out.
“This is policing 101. What those officers did was textbook.” And that's exactly the problem- It IS textbook to pull guns on innocent, pregnant black women and making an assumption of guilt until innocence is proven because of the color of someone's skin.
Yet another co-Brad o' the day.
"Jake, thank you for letting our office know Louie tested positive for the Coronavirus. When you write your story, can you include the fact that Louie requires full staff to be in the office, including three interns, so that ‘we could be an example to America on how to open up safely.’ When probing the office, you might want to ask how often were people berated for wearing masks." Republican staffer of Rep. Louie Gohmert to Politico.
The Democrat Party gets rid of more carbon emissions by 2:30 than Republicans do all year.
(huff, puff, fume) People are intolerant of my intolerance of safety guidelines. STFU, you right wing snowflake. And finally...
"Congressman COVID"? Freudian slip?
