Living through Impeachment 2: The Insurrection Special
A little over a year ago I wrote about the first impeachment of former President Donald J. Trump. Reading back over that screed now, I can’t help but see how adorably naive I was then. November of 2019 was before Covid-19 cost the US over 450,000 lives, before staying home was the safest bet, before […]

5 On It: Power to the People
So here we are, in January 2020 — an election year — staring down the barrel of our poor choices that have created a fucking mess of our country’s political leadership. What a time to be alive! We’ve got a president who is guilty of so many more nasty, potentially illegal things than abuse of […]

Living Through Impeachment
When learning about the process of impeaching a president, the first one in any history book was Richard Nixon. The Watergate break in, the Washington Post’s heroics, the tapes, the resignation. It was a story about how Democracy worked, even if it was awfully dramatic. I always wondered what I would have done as an […]

Berder Wars
Imagine the feeling of getting an invitation to dinner at the White House after winning a national title. It’s a silly little tradition, but tradition nonetheless, for the nation’s greatest champions to share a meal at the nation’s greatest house with the nation’s greatest leader. So, the Clemson Tigers dressed up in their Sunday Best, […]

WYMAT: TREASON
Folks, what a week this has been. Nike out here working the system, a cop walked into someone’s home and shot them, someone working under 45 published a piece in the New York Times, college football is in full swing, and Alex Jones is banned from Twitter. Nobody is safe from betrayal this fall! Nike […]

On Outrage and Superiority: Why It’s OK to Not Be Mad About Politics
Imagine, if you will, the following purely hypothetical scenario: Something happens in the world of politics. Say, a Supreme Court justice retires. Or our president cozies up to Vladimir Putin. Outlandish, I know. You open up Twitter or some other social media platform. You begin typing, expressing your feelings as cleverly, succinctly, or intelligently as you can […]

Zero tolerance
I try not to judge people based solely on their political philosophy. We’re all allowed differing perspectives on what might be the best way to move forward with all sorts of different topics. Difference in opinion has never been a reason for me to write someone off, especially as there’s usually at least one case […]

Post-Trump America
It’s January 2021. President Anybody But Anyone In The Trump Administration has taken office, and America breathes a collective sigh of relief. Back to drinking beer and watching taxpayer subsidized sports while the political class and the 1% figure out another way to merge and hoard the country’s resources, right? Not if we want to […]
