In 1952, Richard Nixon's career was nearly derailed by revelations that he had access to a slush fund of $18,000 -- less than a quarter million today." People used to give a shit about that kind of thing, you see.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Regarding the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmell, I'm old enough to remember the cancellation of The Smothers Brothers show because Nixon didn't like what they had to say. That was 1969 in the middle of the Vietnam war, a horrible time in America. Incredibly, we have decided to return to that era.

Trump is so stupid that he has actually strengthened China over the US. How in the hell can anyone be so ignorant that they actually take our country backwards while advancing the rest of the world? And he is so fucking dumb he doesn't even know what he has done. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

This is how far down the rat hole this country has gone. I would like to see a show of hands of the cowardly republicans who cowered in fear and ran for their lives who now support these thugs getting millions of dollars.

I miss having a President of the United States.

On this day in 1896 the Supreme Court ruled “separate but equal” is constitutional in Plessy v. Ferguson. Plessy was overturned in Brown v. Board but today's Supreme Court is ready to reverse Brown. I can just hear them saying that Brown was "wrongly decided." www.history.com/this-day-in-...

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading. But $15/hour is too much to ask for everyone else. Every single day, these goons prove how disconnected they are from everyday Americans.

Are all the republicans who cowered in fear during the J6 attack OK with paying those thugs millions of dollars? Really?

Hey, John Roberts, how about you just admit that you don’t follow the law when it benefits Republicans.

The count on you being exhausted by the firehose of corruption and bullshit. But THIS. THIS is grounds to march on DC and demand the END of this mafia administration. This is the biggest middle finger to America.

Thank you sirs. May we have another?

So I'm not the only one who remembers this? I was starting to think I just made it up, that we had Iran contained, we had inspectors, an international alliance and no path to making a nuclear weapon. Huh. I'll be damned. And now we have Trump and a never ending multi-billion dollar war.

In the wake of Jason Collins’ death, Charles Barkley commented on the lack of societal progress towards homophobia since Collins came out as the first openly gay NBA player in 2013.

Trump: "Not even a little bit…I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anybody." The most truthful statement to ever come out of this turd's mouth.

I was reminded recently about when Biden was elected and he immediately vowed to move forward and essentially let Trump and all his henchmen off the hook without so much as a shoulder shrug. There was a J6 committee but zero criminal prosecutions. Let's not do that again.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

Trump walked right into a fully predicted quagmire. Trump is by far the dumbest president in US history. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

"He doesn't think about Americans' financial situation." Yeah, we noticed.

Oklahoma republican candidates, every single one of them, are proclaiming their love for Trump. Trump! The likely pedophile, adjudicated rapist, convicted fraudster and seditionist who attacked our Nation's capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government. This is the guy they idolize. What a POS.
