Should Dems Impeach Trump AFTER Biden’s First 100 Days?
I don’t care whether Trump is impeached or 25thed or not, but January 6 had to be about the most jerk-off “insurrection” or “coup attempt” in history. Team Rising reacts to a clip of Senator James Clyburn saying that the House may wait until after Biden’s first 100 […]

Amazon Says Its TERMINATING Parler,

What Led America To This Breaking Point?
Contra Krystal, I don’t consider the current “breaking point” to be “horrible.” I grew up in the United States when creeps like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan could get reelected with 49 of 50 states. That doesn’t mean I like Trump or Biden any more than Nixon or […]
Rioters Were Going to Execute the Vice President
Increasingly, the Trump diehards resemble something more like Scientology than a political movement.

A Coup? A Revolution? A Prelude to a Civil War?

Who’s In Charge? Who Knows?
Trump certainly seems to have changed his attitude within the space of 24 hours. What a difference a day makes.
