When it comes to publicly groveling in front of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz just lowered the bar to subterranean levels
Texas Senator, Ted Cruz, has made a career out of publicly humiliating himself. There was the time he tried, and failed, to clean up some public vandalism, there was his truly disturbing Freudian slip...

Their followers believe what they say. The question is how many voters who supported Trump are open to empirical evidence and experience. So much lying.

If you think that the military history of the Civil War is simply a story of generals and battles, you haven't kept up with the literature. For decades. At best, it's ignorance. At worst, it's insulting. It's also sooooo yesterday.

The coup continues. In its way, it's entirely fitting to destroy the American republic and the rule of law as we prepare to celebrate a revolution meant to secure those things. Especially if you like neat numbers. The threat was always from within. We have met the enemy, and it is us.

So Trump was an FBI informant about a hoax that the Democrats set up, failed to investigate, and which implicates Clinton ... You're trying too hard, Mikey.

Apparently the president of the United States wants us to reconsider how bad slavery was. Next question on the administration's agenda: is the sexual exploitation of minors really all that bad?

Kevin Levin's been on this issue for some time. I'm looking forward to seeing more historians speak out. If not now, when? Never?

So the Secretary of Defense wants to honor people who killed US soldiers (many of whom are buried at Arlington National Cemetery) in their efforts to commit an insurrection to protect the enslavement of millions of people? That's where we are today, folks.

Ever notice how many people who tell you to speak truth to power fall silent when they have something to lose? In certain professions (including mine), discretion is the better part of valor and a far shrewder move in terms of career advancement.

When will Trump announce a new military base ... Fort Nathan Bedford Forrest? After all, John B. Gordon (Fort Gordon, Georgia) was a Klansman / white supremacist terrorist during Reconstruction ... so why not Forrest? Have the courage of your convictions, MAGA! Trump knows about convictions.

Understand that a man who says he'd date his own daughter isn't exactly concerned that what Jeffrey Epstein did was wrong. He just doesn't want you to know about it.
