Lots of people feared that the first presidential "debate" between our two designated right-wing codgers would end up being a train wreck. But nobody could ever have expected a reenactment of the Hindenburg disaster. That Nazi airship blew up in 1937 New Jersey, whereas the more modern fascist version exploded in Ohio on Tuesday night. If you were still naively operating under the assumption that we have even the merest vestige of a functioning democracy left, than Tuesday night's spectacle starring human dirigible Donald Trump (with a largely muted walk-on assist from Joe Biden) ...
BIDEN COULDN'T GET HIS POINT ACROSS, AND MAYBE THAT'S A GOOD THING
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 9 hours ago
In a debate postmortem for *Politico,* John Harris writes: For the most part, ... even policy discussions descended into guttural sentence fragments that didn’t add up to anything coherent.... Pulling Biden, Wallace, the sponsoring Commission on Presidential Debates, and everyone watching to the level of disruptive chaos where Trump has thrived in the past likely was the point. We know that this didn't work for Trump -- he sabotaged himself by coming off as a sociopath. But in addition, Trump might have done Biden a favor by preventing him from making coherent points. The media doe...

Portrait of a steady decline!

*WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2020* *The commander-in-chief's health plan:* Our failing society's dumbness quotient has grown and grown and grown. At some point, we'll amuse you with the history of basic cable. We'll recall the lofty goals with which certain well-known channels began, as compared to the low-IQ dreck these channels now put on the air. That's one way to think about our growing dumbness quotient. Or you can consider what happened last night when Chris Wallace asked the commander in chief about his health care plan. In the beginning, it seemed to make sense. Wallace star...

SafeSpace, 'Nox & Friends - 10 hours ago
For our friends who live in small, remote towns in conservative America, be advised you are not immune to the vile insanity of the American left. Two nights ago, arsonist(s) attacked a small downtown building in Blairsville, Union County, Georgia. Their target was the county GOP HQ offices and its bold “Trump Country” banners. In their best “FY America” style, these jackwagons destroyed the workspaces of two small, locally-owned businesses. Oh, at the same time, their careless efforts failed to burn the yard sign and poster inventory of the GOP offices. The cause of the fire is under...
