GOP strategist Rick Wilson named his new book "Everything Trump touches, dies." I've been calling Trump the "Anti-Midas" for quite a while now, everything he touches turns to shit. Just look at Ronny Jackson. "The Candyman" was as happy...
There were two things that I saw in the news this week that I felt were worth mentioning and commenting upon. One was a poll that had nothing to do with specific individual candidate popularity in the Democratic primaries,...
Well, that was interesting. I get such a kick out of politicians these days, officially announcing their candidacy for something, making a bunch of speeches, and rally appearances, and then officially ”kicking off” their campaign a month later somewhere. It reminds me of...

OK, this is just getting ridiculous. I’m not even going to say “I’m old enough to remember” because this didn’t happen all that fucking long ago! Many of you can remember when “Black Friday” meant that people lined up...
