Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Republicans Are Trying To Kill You

 Example one: Donald Trump knowingly exposed Joe Biden to Covid during their debate in October 2020. As Paul Campos and others have noted, this is barely a story. Despite a media that is hungry for Trump-fueled ratings, they are ignoring that the frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2024 basically attempted biological warfare against his opponent.

Example two: the student who committed our latest school shooting had a Trumpist mom. OK, that's not necessarily a problem, except - as Campos (again) notes - the parents had been informed of his troubling behavior, had in fact had a conference about it the morning of the shooting, and yet still bought him a gun.

Is this "malice murder" or "negligent homicide"? 

Doesn't matter if you're dead.

As it is, Covid is killing off many of the MAGA crowd. So, I guess it's murder-suicide?
