On False Equivalence

If you weren’t outraged by the racial justice marches this summer, you can’t be outraged at the Capitol invasion. This is the current refrain from the pro-Trump, far-right social media sphere. Their argument: It’s hypocritical to be bent out of shape that people stormed the capitol building if you weren’t…

How to Make Other Conspiracy Theories Look Smart

Make Yours That Much Dumber The conspiracy theories surrounding the election are not surprising. Donald Trump himself spread much of the suspicion as soon as he figured out he’d probably lose the election. He used the word “rigged” a lot, despite the fact that the election was months away. So…

Sure, Benghazi Was Bad. But Are 77,000 Benghazis Better?

In the 2016 election, chants of “Lock her up” were commonplace at Trump rallies. It stemmed from a variety of arguments against the Democratic standard-bearer, but none was more visceral than Benghazi. One word defined exactly why Clinton couldn’t be trusted. It was one of the most effective counterarguments to…

The Beautiful Ineptitude of the Trump Administration

I cannot wait for the November election. We need to rid ourselves of the most toxic administration we’ve seen, and we need to do it with vigor. It’s a moral, ethical, and life-preserving imperative. But here’s what worries me: the law of averages says that they are going to get…

Wait, we still don’t have a f@#&*n strategy?!?!

This was supposed to be the moment. A changed tone. Tamped-down rhetoric. A sober approach to the coronavirus. Breathless anchors rushed to share the new perspective of the president, a return to daily briefings, and a renewed respect for the virus that has claimed so many. …

Anti-Maskers are the New Anti-Vaxxers

I have little respect for Anti-Vaxxers. Correction: I have zero respect for Anti-Vaxxers. They reject science. They put others in danger. They are entitled and selfish. They might argue that there is science connecting vaccinations to autism, thus justifying their choice. While there is a rise in diagnoses of autism…

Give the Guy a Break Already

Look, statistics are hard. Anyone who has had to do regression analyses and figure out confidence intervals would most likely agree that it’s not an intuitive process. With the novel coronavirus escalating in an exponential manner, many have laid blame on the president for misusing statistics. …

Trump The Un-Doer

The New Deal. The Monroe Doctrine. Reaganomics. Strong presidents throughout our history have legacies carved indelibly based on their accomplishments. Who can think of emancipation without Lincoln? How about the Cold War without Kennedy? Presidents with a strong point of view, for better or worse, wind up with signatures on…
