"An impeachable offense occurs when a president violates the oath to abide by the constitution’s limits and respect its values. [The cheater's] use of political pressure on a foreign power to further his own re-election chances clearly fits."

It is amazing and absurd how far US prisons have gone in banning books for prisoners.

Around the world, right-wing politicians demonstrate their power by showing they can get away with crushing truth and honesty.

Bolsonaro demonstrates his power by showing he can get away with supporting torture and dictatorship.

I don't like the use of the term "populists" for these liars. The populists of 1900 were admirable and honest, and they made the US a better place.

Let's call today's truth-hating right-wing politicians "bullshitters". That's what describes them.

There may have been left-wing bullshitters in the past — perhaps Lenin and Stalin fit that term — but I don't know of any today.

There is a proposal to rename the airport which is currently named after John Wayne.

I don't like honoring that right-winger at all, but Reagan's wrongs were far, far worse. He crushed unions, eviscerated antitrust law, cut taxes for the rich, made a deal with Iran to hold American hostages for longer in order to win election, later sold arms to Iran to ransom Americans hostages taken by terrorists in Lebanon, and funded other terrorists to attack Nicaragua. In detestation for him, I always call that airport by its former official name, "National Airport."
