Breitbart Media is leading a smear campaign against a radical scholar of international politics and decolonization for a satirical tweet he published on December 24 mocking white supremacists. Instead of coming to the aid of George Ciccariello-Maher, who has received death threats as a result of the campaign, Drexel University issued a statement on Christmas condemning… Continue reading “Breitbart smears Drexel professor for mocking white supremacy”
Trumpville has started eating their own. And in the most delicious way. It’s a convoluted story but I’m gonna try to sort it out. The Washington Post announced that Jason Miller has resigned his newly named position as the Trump campaign’s Communications Director to spend more time with his family. Well, that right there makes your… Continue reading “I think I have the AJ Delgado-Jason Miller story right”
Merry Christmas to youtoo, lady. Shoppers at a busy JCPenney in Kentucky were treated to a loud racist rant by the woman second in line for the register. The person in front of her had been a handed some extra items by friend in order to check out together. Racist rant lady felt she was… Continue reading “Peace on earth, good will toward… white people”

Our mob-chief-in-waiting wants men who are personally loyal to him, and not to the country. He continues to make his own rules, and the cable media of course won’t hit him on this:
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan — President-elect Donald Trump has continued employing a private security and intelligence team at his victory rallies, and he is expected to keep at least some members of the team after he becomes president, according to people familiar with the plans.
The arrangement represents a major break from tradition. All modern presidents and presidents-elect have entrusted their personal security entirely to the Secret Service, and their event security mostly to local law enforcement, according to presidential security experts and Secret Service sources.

Okay, okay, I am trying to get a grip but I just can’t. There’s no grip here. I’ve looked everywhere. Forbes Magazine posted an opinion piece about Rick Perry being the best thing ever to grab ahold of the Department of Energy. The column praises Rick Perry for letting the oil industry run amuck in Texas,… Continue reading “Oh dear God. They’re giving Rick Perry nukes.”
“Hey, we know we lost, but now we want to work out a power-sharing arrangement with you.”
Joe Piscopo is thinking about running for governor of New Jersey.
Trump “inspired” him.
You know, I can’t stand that so many people think running a government is a simple thing. But then, they’re usually ignorant of how much government does.
Geeze, I hate to hit you with this stuff first thing in the morning, but somebody’s gotta do it! Via Climate Change:
As President-elect Donald Trump continues to round out his cabinet and White House staff, his policies and priorities are coming more into focus.
All indications so far point to a bleak future for addressing climate change, or even recognizing it as one of the world’s largest challenges. A number of his cabinet nominees, political appointees and closest advisors are outright climate deniers while others have funded the denial of climate change or are lukewarm on accepting the science.
At best, climate action will likely take a backseat to other issues. At worst, there could be an all-out assault on the science, and as important, the funding that makes it possible.
To glean a clearer picture of where Trump’s administration stands and where it may be headed, we’ve created a list of his major cabinet and agency appointees as well as his senior advisors. We’ll continue to update this as appointments are made.
Go read it, but not if you puke easily.
How do we counteract the gullibility of so many voters? I’m happy to see this CNN anchor pushing back, though.
