If there remain people who don’t believe the survival of democracy is on the ballot next year, either they’re unreachably Foxotrumpified or blind, deaf, and dumb (in its more common meaning). Or find it to their liking. Which describes Trump supporters and lookers the other way. They must welcome the…

I discovered an impressive AI/chatbot recently, web address pi.ai. Depending on how questions are asked, it’s impressively conversational. Below is an excerpt of a longer and wider-ranging conversation. My input is italicized. And, yes, the responses are the actual AI language, not mine. … I think Trump is an existential…

Last week I understated the radicalism and dangerous, theocratic intentions of newly-anointed Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

Add this to the list of differences between Democrats and Republicans: not considering it “weaponization” when Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice indicted Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), whose bill of particulars, like Trump’s, appalls. No cries of “witch hunt” or “two-tiered justice,” except Menendez himself, who Trump-eted, “Those behind this campaign…

Projection: attributing to others what one is, in fact, doing oneself. Everything, in other words, that Trump and his defenders accuse Democrats, especially President Joe Biden, of doing.
