According to right wing rhetoric, none of these people would be able to lead in America for they would be attacked…
The major political parties’ conventions this week and next follow the Olympics like night follows day. Just as the quadrennial sports event serves as a ceremonial battleground with ornate rules and rituals, so do the Democratic and Republican conventions to choose the party leaders and figureheads. Just as the Olympics represent combat in a peaceful…
Sunday, August 17: 155 days left. Our man the brush clearer is back in Crawford, taking it easy. Having already set a record for presidential vacation days, he’s obviously trying for a record that no future chief executive can possibly hope to break.
