Happy Disinfectant Injection Day to those survivors who four years ago ignored the “stratospherically insane” advice, even for him, of a demented buffoon babbling hokum in the face of a pandemic he couldn’t spin his way out of - which, thanks to his ineptness, needlessly killed over 200,000 Americans. “I see the disinfectant, it knocks it out in a minute,” he raved to a stricken Dr. Birx. “And is there a way we can do something like that?” Yeah, sure, let’s elect him again.Tuesday’s fourth Bleac…

A belated Happy (sic) Not My President's Day, from a populace bruised and reeling yet still defiant in the face of a right-wing junta by staggeringly arrogant jackwads too hyped by their own megalomania to comprehend, never mind regret, the devastation they wreak on our storied democracy. How do we...

Racist madness explodes, the "straight-up Gestapo stuff" of dystopian nightmares, from brown people "hunted like animals" by roving thugs and packed into fetid concentration camps devised by cartoon ghouls to inane war waged on "SLIMEBALL" protesters, diligent farmworkers, brown toddlers - no Head S...

Sparking a populist fire, the "Fighting Oligarchy" tour in Portland brought tireless Bernie, aspiring governor Troy Jackson, and electrifying veteran, oyster farmer, harbormaster, and unabashed populist Graham Platner - come, finally, please, to rid us of odious collaborator Susan 'I'm-Sure-He's-Lea...
