Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Livestream from the Well of the House- So, yay us? Nancy is a fighter, well suited to take it to Unidicted Co-conspirator Trump. There is probably no one better. The problem is that despite the constant demonization by Republicans, Pelosi is not particularly “Progressive” let alone Left. Frankly she has some very stupid ideas about …

What’s the matter with Bibi?
The United States is not the only country with a Criminal in Chief. Benjamin Netanyahu (who just called snap elections and is favored to win) is under increasing pressure in at least 3 corruption cases and is almost certainly guilty. Vox has a summary. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu could be indicted. Here’s what you need …

What Are You Going To Do? Assemble A Cabinet At Them?
Today Unindicted Co-conspirator Trump is holding 2 big meetings. The second one is the Group of Eight meeting with the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate.

That Flower Thing
I want to say that the Rose Parade is about the only nationally televised one I haven’t come to at least temporarily despise. Macy’s is Show Tunes (not that there’s anything wrong with Show Tunes), Commercials, and Big Balloons. Well, we have Big Balloons in Stamford Connecticut too and like many New York City rituals …

A Year In CP Time
One of the reasons why I no longer do Sausage Grinder of Snark is that I think the site runs at a quite sprightly pace, seldom are there more than yesterday’s and today’s posts on the page (unless you push ‘Fetch More’ or shop the Most Recent List which goes back about a week), TMC …

Year In Review
Perhaps you’re looking for something introspective and deep but it’s a bad time of year for that. Concentrating on the futility of the past is contraindicated for me my Therapist says, instead I should focus on the future. Which… is bleak. I expect the enormous criminality of Republicans both in policy and personally to be …

The Emails Of 2020
Sure we have legitimate news today. Elizabeth Warren has announced she’s forming an exploratory committee for 2020. She’s not my personal favorite at the moment because she has serious gaping Left flaws but she’s a damn sight more Left than Uncle Joe “Anita Hill” Biden. It did not take 5 minutes for MSNBC to raise …
