As I’ve already noted, the New York Times has called upon Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to save “us” and himself by somehow leveraging his “sterling reputation” to make the Trump Administration’s ax murder/defenestration of now former FBI Director James Comey not look like the gaping wound in the body politic that it so obviously…

Thank God for Charles Krauthammer! Pretty much.
Yes, Charles Krauthammer, whom I’ve often harangued and harassed, “sometimes … displays a sense of honor” (to quote myself), and one of those times is right now, as he weighs on Trump v. Comey with a well-titled commentary, “A political ax murder”. True, Charlie clings to the now-standard right-wing meme that FBI Director James Comer…
Honest John Boehner, A “Good Republican”—that is to say, a coward and a fraud
John Boehner, speaker of the House of Representatives from 2009 to 2015, engaged in one of the prerogatives of those who have relinquished power—speaking the truth. Among other things, Boehner claimed that all that Republican talk about repealing and replacing ObamaCare is just talk: “They’ll fix Obamacare, and I shouldn’t have called it repeal and…
Is Donald Trump as bad as the National Review says he is? Probably!
I’ve already frequently bemoaned the fact that so many U.S. conservatives are deciding that Donald Trump is, you know, our Wacky Uncle Donald, who doesn’t mean half the stuff he says (that is to say, half of what he says is a lie), and he does get cranky at times, but his bark is worse…
Out like Flynn
How wrong was it for anonymous “Intelligence Community” folks to fink on poor Michael Flynn, who just wanted to chat with his good buddy Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak about, you know, stuff, without everyone and his sister in law making a big deal about it? Or leaking transcripts of those conversations to the Washington Post?…
David Ignatius, last seen stroking a source
Remember Michael T. Flynn, the less than model lieutenant general who chanted “Lock her up!” while denouncing Hillary Clinton at the Republican convention, who wrote a crack-brained book with crack-brained author Michael Leeden1 in which he declared that “I’m totally convinced that, without a proper sense of urgency, we will be eventually defeated, dominated, and…
Tom Nichols is looking for work! And the Washington Post is helping him!
Tom Nichols, in case you don’t know him, is a professor at the Naval War College and the Harvard Extension School and the author of The Death of Expertise. Last year, Tom fired off a snappy little piece in The Federalist titled “I’ll Take Hillary Clinton Over Donald Trump. As Tom tells it, that was…
Pseudo New Yorker
“Relax! He’s more afraid of us than we are of him.” “Yo, big boy! Super models comin’ through!” “He’s good bad, but he’s not evil.” “Excuse me! Are you Scylla or Charybdis?” “We must be near Coney Island.” “If this is America, what’s with the Roman hands and Russian fingers?” “Okay, an Abe Lincoln he…
Russia hacks U.S. elections! Does this mean that Putin is as bad as Netanyahu?
Well, it’s a question to be asked, isn’t it? I mean, Netanyahu (and Israel) is always interfering with our elections! And now, so is Putin! I mean, who do they think they are, us? Afterwords The fact that Russia hacked the DNC computer network and deliberately released the information to weaken Hillary Clinton’s chances is,…
The Eighteenth Brumaire of Donald Trump
On November 9, 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte engineered a coup that made him First Consul and ended republican government in France. By the date of the Republican calendar then in effect in France, the date was 18 Brumaire in the year VIII.1 In 1852, Karl Marx wrote The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, commemorating in contempt…
