Over 520,000 people have died due to Covid-19, but every single member of the self-styled “pro-life” party has so far voted against the Covid relief bill. What could they object to that would justify the imminent, ongoing destruction of our country? In fact, a majority of economists polled by Reuters said they expect President Biden’s…
They cannot violate the Constitution and deprive any other American’s equal protection of the law;
The current Republican-caused disaster began long ago and will likely never be resolved because the GOP will continue unabated putting the “interests of the wealthy elite and energy companies far above the welfare of the people of Texas.”
It is glaringly apparent that the majority of Republicans support the traitor’s attempted coup by inciting a deadly insurrection against the United States to overthrow the legal government.
In case any American was confused about the Republican movement’s vision for America as an Aryan nation, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made it clear he agrees with loser Trump that there is no room for diversity in America. On his way out of office serving a white supremacist administration, Pompeo let it be known…
Dirty Don Trump and his seditious co-conspirators are still seething that private enterprise had the audacity to ban the traitors from access to their social media platforms, and it brings up a plethora of issues showing the depth of depravity typical of Trump and his enablers. After Trump conspired with several malcontent white supremacists and…
The real force driving the seditious conspiracy was every Republican echoing Trump’s filthy lie that President-elect Joe Biden’s victory was rife with fraud and corruption.
The Patriotic Millionaires issued a statement calling for those members of the House and Senate who incited with Trump the violent, armed insurrection to be removed from office and tried for sedition.
Over the past couple of decades Republicans have wantonly taken everything from the American people to benefit their favorite causes. Now, in an attempted coup to keep Trump in the White House, a fascist Republican cabal are attempting to take the people’s electoral voices in an undemocratic machination resembling a two-bit banana republic. Since Americans…
If there was any doubt that dirty Don Trump was a gigantic asset in Vladimir Putin’s attempt to inflict damage on the Western world, particularly the United States, this week Russian media confirmed what every sane American already knew was fact. Trump was Russia’s candidate and although he is a loser, Russians are celebrating that…
It isn’t clear how much longer Republicans will allow Trump to undermine the United States Constitution, but his latest threat to rewrite a portion of the nation’s founding document to suit his xenophobic and racist tendencies amounts to an honest-to-dog constitutional crisis. Republicans should have been up in arms early in Trump’s term over his…
This is his first real go at reality as an adult, and he’s way too emotionally incapable of making this transition. It won’t be easy for him. Of course, Trump isn’t going to go silently. But go he will.
Although at the time of this writing there is no for-sure, definitive justification for celebrating the result of the election, there is no better time to state emphatically that if former Vice-President Joseph Biden is declared the official victor, America’s social woes will not disappear. Simply put: the nation’s nightmare will not end when, and if,…
On this day, November 7th, 2020, each and every one of you who voted, called, canvassed, talked to friends and neighbors, wept and worried over the demise of our precious country, each and every one of you have made a difference. You made this happen. This is your victory.
The following is a PoliticusUSA editorial by Editor in Chief Sarah Jones. President-elect Joe Biden received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history, but Democrats didn’t expand the House as predicted or take back the Senate (pending Georgia run offs). This has led to endless “Democrats in disarray” hot takes. Yes, we have…
At the rate Republicans, led by Trump, are attempting to stop voting, it is glaringly apparent they hate democracy nearly as much as they detest the U.S. Constitution. When Donald Trump refused to say if he would allow a peaceful transfer of power if he does not win re-election, it should have sent a shockwave…
No sane human remotely believes dirty Don Trump cares one iota about America, its people, or the democracy the rest of the world respected just four years ago. Trump is simply un-American. Although Trump epitomizes the word un-American, the fact that he has significant support from people who claim to be “real Americans” is very telling…
Around the world there are several nations with brutally authoritarian governments that embrace the concept of imposing religion to play a major role of public life. It is what is known as theocracy and evangelical fanatics are a step closer to imposing their extremist vision of social conservatism on every aspect of all Americans’ daily…
There are three words that political pundits and commentators have used ad nauseam since the day after dirty Don Trump’s very poorly-attended inauguration – “unprecedented and wrong.” It is as true a description of this authoritarian administration as anything, and yet each time it is uttered it explains a worse Trump atrocity. This past week…
This past week Americans learned that their nation is beyond being on the verge of becoming a banana republic and that their representative democracy is failing; if it is not already functionally dead. No sane human being was stunned that Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if former Vice President Joseph…
No sane human being believes Trump and his corrupt administration care about law and order; they care about frightening white people. However, during the RNC this week the lying hypocrite Mike Pence asserted that the upcoming election is about law and order. Trump has violated the law, and his oath to uphold, defend and support…
There was an unexpected, but fairly important, revelation this past week that very few media outlets made a big deal out of – and as one straight-talking Vice President once said, this revelation was “a big f*cking deal.” For the sad, pathetic souls that spend an inordinate amount of time closely following politics, the release…
Americans have died needlessly as a result of a malicious narcissist’s lust for power, and if this country’s Legislative and Judicial Branch were not controlled by corrupt Republicans, deadly Don Trump would be in serious legal jeopardy. If Trump was a regular citizen responsible for the death of even one American through disregard for human…
Even while dirty Don Trump is being condemned for abusing American citizens exercising their constitutional right to protest, he levied sanctions on China for abusing its citizens for protesting civil rights abuses. For the second time in less than two months Trump defined for the whole world what hypocrisy means. Most people have experienced first…
With ardent GOP support Trump has spent three-and-a-half years decimating all parts of the federal government. Now his attention is fulfilling the GOP’s decades-long goal of destroying elderly Americans’ retirement and health insurance programs by starving them of funding. It is no exaggeration to say that even Republicans are aware of how crucial the Social…
At the beginning of Trump’s plague in America, the “pro-life” GOP faithful claimed it was patriotic to sacrifice the lives of America’s elderly population for Trump’s re-election. Now those same “pro-life” cretins want to sacrifice the lives of American children to help re-elect Trump. If any American required proof that neither Trump nor his Republican…
When Trump appointed anti-public school lobbyist Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary, he made it abundantly clear that he detests America’s public education system. On Friday Trump ordered Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to review American universities’ tax-exempt status after he threatened to cutoff federal funding to any schools that refuse to reopen despite the virulent Trump…
America under Trump is a badly failing nation in every conceivable measure. That being the tragically sad case, there is no reason whatsoever to celebrate America in its current failing state; anyone doing so is either a Russian spy, a religious malcontent, or a Trump supporter. It is an abomination that a once-great nation like…
Trump is determined to grant evangelical bigots the religious freedom to legally discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, and during Pride Month he used the Health and Human Services Department to do the religious right’s dirty work. When Trump gassed peaceful protestors in Washington D.C. to expedite a church visit, it was for more than staging a…
After suffering three-and-a-half years of Trump’s flagrant criminality, it is safe to assert that he has no use for law and order or America’s criminal justice system. However, he loves criminals, traitors, and anyone carrying out extra judicial punishment; especially if they punish in the name of racial purity, religious bigotry and Donald J. Trump….
After hundreds of videos revealing that complaints about police violence are completely valid, there is finally acknowledgement from some public officials that police reform is desperately needed and long overdue. Unfortunately, the National Rifle Association, police unions, Donald Trump, and Republicans at all levels of government will never allow any police reform to take place…
The greatest threat to America and its people remains fascism – particularly domestic fascism. Until a few years ago, being against fascism was regarded as being a patriotic American, and then a dyed-in-the-wool fascist took up residence in the White House. Not long after Trump’s poorly-attended inauguration, his white supremacist supporters began labeling opposition to…
The civil unrest plaguing America is all Trump’s handiwork and it appears he will not be satisfied until his goal of dominating the American people with deadly force reaches fruition. Many Americans believe that Trump is dazed and confused over the devastation facing the nation, but they ignore the fact that sowing chaos and division,…
Over 100,000 American citizens have needlessly perished due to Trump’s malignant narcissism, but it is apparent that Trump will not be happy until he increases the death toll – particularly among his most ardent supporters. There aren’t very many people who would argue that Donald Trump is not a malignant narcissist. He thrives on antisocial…
It is highly likely that most Americans understand that terrible Trump’s only regard for religion is pandering to his evangelical cult because they are dedicated to keeping him in the Oval Office. When Trump made a big deal about opening up the country so the plague-infected faithful could celebrate a pagan holiday Christians changed to…
Combined with Vladimir Putin’s crusade to undermine trust in science among Americans, Trump’s efforts to sow suspicion of Federal health officials’ expertise is exacerbating the spread ofCOVID-19. Subsequently, Americans are dying needlessly which is a value-added treat for Putin in his campaign to aid dirty Don’s reelection. It is encouraging to see surveys revealing that the…
Republicans found another means of enriching religion with taxpayer dollars meant to aid Americans suffering the horrid effects of Trump’s plague and economic devastation. When filthy rich, and highly-unqualified, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos began her quest to shift all taxpayer dollars intended for public education to private, for-profit religious schools, evangelicals and Republicans were ecstatic….
It is no small wonder that besides evangelical fundamentalists, Trump’s greatest electoral base is comprised of anti-government, racist conspiracy theorists dreaming of destroying America from within. Although that nasty segment of the population is a minority and seemingly powerless to dismantle the government on its own, and although Trump sits in a place he should…
Last week Trump’s yes-man running the DOJ issued instructions to federal attorneys detailing their new job entailed serving as Inquisitors for the religious right in their Crusade to rule America. In this case the Crusade officially begins by using the Federal government, in concert with fundamentalist Christian conservatives, to punish state officials who dare to hold…
After Trump publicly exposed himself as Earth’s preeminent moron regarding how science relates to combatting the novel coronavirus, the imbecile-in-chief claimed his new focus is America’s economy. If that is Trump’s intent, then it is worth looking at why America is facing an economic disaster after his predecessor, President Barack Obama, left him with a…
It’s apparent to most that President Donald Trump doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing, especially with regard to the coronavirus pandemic. Here are some of his “greatest hits” — Trump, who seems to be more focused on reopening the economy in order to boost his reelection chances, has suggested doing so long before his…
There are likely as many reasons for decent human beings to detest dirty Don Trump as there are stars in the observable universe – possibly more so. It is almost certain that patriotic Americans despise Trump because he has openly incited rebellion against legally-elected state officials. Now, as if his deliberate divisiveness is not enough…
Americans don’t trust President Donald Trump when it comes to what he says about the coronavirus crisis. And why should they? Day after day, he lies to us. Week after week, he makes grandiose promises (“Anybody that wants a test can get a test, that’s what the bottom line is”) then backs away from them…
One of the justifications for the Bush Administration’s Iraq invasion was because a vicious dictator, Saddam Hussein, was guilty of killing his own citizens. It was the same justification Trump used for launching a slew of missiles at an abandoned airfield in Syria – Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was alleged to have killed innocent men,…
Most Americans by now agree that President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has been disastrous, or at the very least, sorely lacking. A majority, 51 percent, disapprove of the response his administration has had in handling the spread of the disease in the U.S., with 46 percent approving, according to a recent Quinnipiac…
The deadly cost of religious liberty in America is finally being manifest, and it is a cost many evangelicals believe the public must pay. No small number of evangelical clergy are now claiming their religious freedom is essential and supersedes states’ “stay-at-home” orders meant to halt coronavirus transmission. Predictably, several Republican governors agree and claim…
One of the running lines from President Donald Trump and other Republican lawmakers throughout the entire coronavirus ordeal has been that Democrats are focused on politics or scoring political wins against him, using the crisis as a means to do so. Trump himself has questioned Democrats’ motives from the beginning — remember him calling COVID-19…
During Trump’s coronavirus stimulus bill signing statement Friday past, the aspiring dictator demonstrated precisely why he thinks the United States Constitution is “bad for the country,” and signaled a potential Constitutional Crisis to prove his point. What bothers Trump more than anything regarding the Constitution is that, as the Founding Fathers and Constitution’s framers intended,…
The ineptitude and general inability of President Donald Trump to function properly and appropriately in his role as chief executive were known well-before these past few weeks, but the coronavirus crisis has seemed to highlight what we’ve already understood for quite some time: if the United States ever faced a real crisis with Trump still…
It is not entirely clear if an alarming number of churches flagrantly defying social distancing orders are doing so for the money or for Trump’s reelection efforts, but they are jeopardizing the population as well as their fellow zealots. Regardless the reason for the “pack the churches” crusade, it is driven by Trump’s greed and…
Trump did not create the novel corona virus (COVID-19), but through his ineptitude, narcissism, and mendacious propaganda he weaponized it and aided its deadly spread throughout the United States. Any semi-intelligent person understands the necessity of reflecting on their, or others, past mistakes to avoid repeating a bad situation; particularly when that bad situation adversely…
Although there were plenty of platitudes during International Women’s Day “festivities” for the progress women have made in an inherently patriarchal world, there was precious little attention afforded to the ongoing radical religious assault on women’s basic human rights in an allegedly free and equal society. It is likely the case that many Americans are unaware…
Adhering to an ideology is not inherently wrong by any measure. However, when strict ideological embrace portends certain defeat in a national election to determine the fate of the country, a pragmatic person will moderate their position. It is a sad commentary on America, but there is a group of ideologues who will “stand their…
No human being with a conscience, a belief in American values, or a semi-functioning moral compass would dispute the fact that Donald Trump is a despicable human being. Simply put, Trump should never have been allowed to occupy a place he has no right even visiting, and it is an opinion no small number of…
Any democratic candidate who doesn’t recognize how fed up women are is making a grave error. if Sanders expects to get the women who were supporters Warren, he’s going to need to address the problems he has with women, including his supporters issues.
Bloomberg’s money and connections are manipulating Democrats, who are so desperate to defeat Trump they seem willing to jump into bed with a man who not so long ago dissed Barack Obama, hung out with Rudy Giuliani, and was a Republican advocating for harmful and racist stop and frisk policies.
Your repeated ripping – don’t miss this, folks – let us know that you were not having it; this House is not accepting a shoe-in dictator from a variety-reality show/rally. Your calm, deliberate hands, here in the last few seconds of this game, will become an iconic image of discipline, restraint, civility, and yes, diplomacy. Historic. Heroic. Classic. Classroom stuff.
Republicans are giving Trump the go-ahead to cheat in 2020 by refusing any witnesses and evidence in his impeachment “trial” over his attempt to bribe a foreign power to help him cheat in another election in concert with their repeated blocking of election security bills.
Many Americans hate the Islamic Republic of Iran because it is a theocracy, but they likely are unaware that America is now more similar to Iran than they want to believe. The recent Supreme Court ruling putting tens-of-millions of Americans at risk of succumbing to a global pandemic is due to a group of Christians…
There is too much at stake for the public to be clinging to impeachment unicorns. It’s clear that impeachment will do nothing to Donald Trump. Sure, it should still happen because it’s the right legal process, but it won’t save this country.
This might seem like just another Trump scandal, another horrible person he’s put into power, but it’s so much more than that.
Kamala Harris broke barriers at every stage of her career. Now she’s going for the one between women and the White House. Everything about Kamala Harris is so much more than merely not being Trump. Though I will concede she is as much the opposite of Trump as one would want to be. I’m not…
It would be a lie to tell you that I don’t think this president deserves to be impeached, or that I don’t agree that the rule of law is imperiled if he is not impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate. Intellectually, impeachment is the only answer to the immoral, unlawful attacks on democracy that are Donald Trump’s presidency.
Stand up for women like you stand up for any other cause: We are real, we are right here, and we are in a crisis heretofore unseen.
The bullies of America know that Donald Trump has their backs. The bully can even be a race horse, for whom Trump will tweet a defense. Politically correct “MAGA” talk show hosts, people who are known to bully and harass on social media, can count on Trump to cry “censorship” when they are acted against….
I know about the walking wounded, because that was my mother. She was a brilliant scientist who was nominated for the Nobel Prize. It was one of those times when yeah, it’s a big deal just to be nominated. That’s because my mother was an immigrant, a Holocaust survivor and a woman.
It took a Canadian to point out how our mainstream media is failing us.
Washington correspondent for the Toronto Star Daniel Dale observed how our media fails to even mention Trump’s lies.
This was going to be a column on what looks to me like softening Republican support for Donald Trump. Instead it’s going to be about an aspect of one of the reasons Trump should be impeached. I will write that other column, but not today. Trump stokes hatred toward most Americans. He has transformed hate…
This won’t stop until Donald Trump is finally held accountable for his own behavior for once in his life. It won’t stop until he is dragged from the White House like the inhumane, unworthy, and illegitimate president he is.
In short, the danger in Trump’s language is that, for the surprisingly impressionable national audience, he degrades our democratic processes and safeguards against tyranny by recasting the fundamentals of democracy as instead the coarse and brutish misdeeds of a dictatorial power grab.
It’s happening again.
The media is paving the way for Donald Trump to win 2020 with lazy, or perhaps purposeful, false equivalencies aimed at the top Democratic possible for 2020.
People need to stay resolute about reality, demand that news networks stop playing Trump’s lies without correcting them first
The president of New York’s Metropolitan Republican Club advises a far-right group in Germany that endorses shooting migrants, forgetting the Holocaust, and is “Nazi-friendly.”
Democratic primary voters would be smart to put Sherrod Brown – a man uniquely qualified to expose the fraud of Trumpism – on their personal shortlist in 2020.
Pelosi is not just doing her job to finally put a constitutional check on this presidency — this crime and ethics violation ridden presidency, but she is quietly giving the women of this country the feeling that they matter and she won’t let this subjugating tyrant get off on hurting people anymore.
Those who claim this was a fight between parties are ignoring that one party was doing the will of the people, while the other was not. The Speaker got it done because it was the right thing to do and it should be remembered that she is not the person who held the government and 2 million people hostage over a failed campaign promise.
The following is an editorial by PoliticusUSA‘s co-publisher Sarah Jones. The day before a judge admonished Trump‘s former National Security Adviser for selling out his country, suggesting that Flynn committed treason , former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone admitted to spreading lies on Alex Jones’ conspiracy oriented InfoWars. Stone made the admission during the settlement…

Mike Pence thought he could avoid controversy, and stay far enough away from Trump’s criminal scandals to inherit the presidency after Trump’s ouster. He even thinks that is God’s will. The problem with this thinking is that it would mean Pence had to avoid not just controversy, but also criminal behavior. But it seems it…
I went to the Tree of Life Synagogue on Friday to follow up on the horrific slaughter of eleven innocent Jewish and I was surprised by what I felt and found.
The first thing I found was love.
The media is going to continue to help Trump push his caravan lies until you tell them to stop by voting with your remotes.
The master of projection has managed to totally freak out reality once again, as Donald Trump tweeted on this day in 2012, “Be careful of an Obama “bomb” to win election! Would be a horrible thing to do.”
The following is an editorial by PoliticusUSA’s co-publisher Sarah Jones. The mob is real; it’s Republican, and it’s dangerous. The media needs to do its job regarding Trump and the Republicans’ dangerous rhetoric against Democrats and liberals. Today, Wednesday October 24th just two weeks before the Nov. 6 elections, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force…
But by Monday, I knew it was a lifetime war. Tuesday I knew I would get there. And I will.
The Republican Party is officially the party of rape and victim shaming after they did everything that they could to be on the wrong side of sexual assault during the Kavanaugh confirmation process.
Editorial Cartoon: The Big Lie
People tell me I can’t speak about this because I am biased. I disagree. I have mentioned this in passing before, but now I’m going to come out with the story of an ongoing sexual assault that happened to me at work, so that I can use it to explain things very slowly to Republican…
If confirmed, Neil Kavanaugh will overturn Roe v. Wade. That’s despite the rhetorical pat on the head he gave Senator Susan Collins while telling her not to worry her pretty little head about it. Without question, Kavanaugh will attack civil rights with a gusto that only white supremacists and neo-Nazis could love. Yet, as much…
If the GOP wants to be the party that refuses to hold Trump accountable for his crimes, that’s their decision. But Democrats can and must do better.
Why is Leader Nancy Pelosi labeled “polarizing” when Republicans, with whom the majority of the public does not agree, are not? I asked her this in an exclusive interview and she told me “They’re afraid of me, they’re afraid of women.”
I’m not trying to talk down a strong economy, but facts still matter even if the president and his supporters don’t think they do.
The Democratic Party is the only big tent left in America. It’s also the only viable political party that defends American interests and American values. It’s crucial we hold on to these characteristics, as Trump tries to take us further into the abyss of totalitarianism.
After Trump’s Twitter meltdown aimed at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, two respected conservative columnists advised that the world ignore Trump’s attempt to distract from his Russia debacle.
“Fake news” is the chant Trump started to generate hatred toward journalists, along with saying they are the enemy of the people. So when the White House repeatedly includes “innocent” as qualifier to who shouldn’t be shot, it’s not meaningless. Context matters.
Feel defeated? Too bad. There is no time for that. It is time to fight for your country at every turn. It is time for non-violent protests everywhere. It is time to let the Democratic Party leaders know that you WILL NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE.
The media and politicians keep addressing the issue of Donald Trump as if it were a relationship problem between him and whoever he is insulting, intimidating, bullying, and lying about on that day. This is not only wrong, but it enables him to continue and misses the far more frightening point that there is no reasoning with Donald Trump, because he does not want the same things for our country as most of us on both sides of the aisle want.
