Trump on trial, Day 6: The criminal defendant is mired in the mud of his own making.
You can never predict what a jury will do - in Trump's first criminal trial, a single MAGAt can ensure that he skates - so we might as well revel in the here and now. It is exhilarating to see this weak aging lummox stuck in court, starring in a dirtbag drama he can't...

GUEST COLUMN: We have a Trump jury, and Mike Johnson has manned up for Ukraine, so yay! But let’s not get carried away.
By Chris Satullo Four comments on the week’s events - a few pleasant surprises and a pair of persistent puzzlements. First, the good: 1) In no way did I expect Justice Juan Merchan to seat a full sworn-in jury of 12 by the end of this week in Donald Trump's...
Rest in peace: Truth-teller Bob Graham, who defied Iraq war fever when most Democrats wimped out
How sad it is that few Americans have heard of Bob Graham, who died Tuesday at 87, because this guy was truly a profile in courage when we needed it most. And how sad it was, at a pivot point in our history, that few of his fellow Senate Democrats heeded his prescient...
Criminal court, day one: The grifting grievances of Don Snoreleone
On the first morning of his first criminal trial, the Nodfather caught some zzzzzz's at the defense table - perhaps to protest the proceedings, perhaps to inadvertently demonstrate that he's a cognitively impaired 77 year old - but that wasn't the highlight of the...
Finally! The bible-selling criminal defendant is going on trial for his 2016 election interference.
If the Stormy Daniels case is supposedly so trivial, if it's purportedly no big deal that Trump faked business records to buy the silence of a porn star paramour, if indeed it's a minor trifle that he did this on the eve of the '16 election to hide the sordid affair...
Trump punts on abortion and pisses off everyone
Wow. An adjudicated rapist, who was recently held liable by a jury for physically invading a woman's bodily autonomy, has now taken it upon himself to opine about how government can control women's bodily autonomy. But before we even begin to analyze Donald Trump's...
GUEST COLUMN: This race is a binary choice between good and evil. There’s no excuse for third-party wastage.
By Chris Satullo From the supermarket to the TV remote to the car lot to the Starbucks menu, most Americans are awash in choices. Younger Americans - having never lived in a world of three main TV channels, a mere Big 3 automakers or “The Phone Company” - seem...
Bravo to this newspaper editor for denouncing false equivalence: “There aren’t two sides to facts.”
Put your hands together for Chris Quinn, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, for telling the truth about the dark threat of MAGA tyranny, and for telling his paper's MAGA readers that if they can't handle the truth, then "so be it." How refreshing it is to hear a...
If you or I depicted the president kidnapped and hog-tied, what are the odds we’d skate without consequences?
The Bible salesman deemed it a Christian gesture last Friday to retweet some MAGA moron's depiction of the president of the United States trussed like a turkey in the back of a manly pickup truck. No surprise there; Trump's stinking sewage has long stressed our...
