Schumer and Durbin have been useless for years. I have never expected them to rise to the challenge. But I am most disappointed in BARACK OBAMA. No one on the planet strike more terror in the heart of Emperor Dipshit than Obama. His silence in the face of Trump's increasing authoritarianism is unacceptable. And if anyone could turn the tide of cowardice at every level, he could.
Today, the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, Obama showed up on Bluesky. I welcomed him -- and then asked him if he could be bothered to help organize some opposition to Trump. I didn't get thousands of likes, but I got dozens, which is more than I usually get.
You hit the nail on the Democratic Party’s core problem. The GOP isn’t just evil. It’s actually effective! It doesn’t just react to Democratic victories or try to moderate itself in defeat. It’s never passive. Dems are shocked when losses like 2006 and 2008 don’t turn the GOP into Sorkin Republicans. They can’t imagine that they would need to strike immediately after Jan 6 — obviously Trump and MAGA are done and Republicans will be their buddies again. This is not a party that can confront reality
Preach, Oliver. The party HAS been broken, even when it wins. Every time I get a text or email from a Dem asking me to send more money, I'm furious. Send money for what?!!? And I'm a life-long Dem who always votes and is so old I remember begging effing then Minority Leader Tom Daschle to please fight back. (Tom--and the Dems who followed him--were always "keeping their powder dry" and telling us they'd fight back when things got really, really bad. Narrator: They didn't.
I am non-partisan and believe neither party is working for Americans. The Democratic Party is truly the party of the “other.” A two -party system leaves no options for other political interests to have a voice other than join the democrats. This leads to dissension within the party because of wide ranging political divisions. There is not a common goal and the various factions within the party don’t want to give ground.
On the other hand, Republicans have always focused on party unity and representatives keep to a narrow political view.
This on top of the corrupt system of allowing lobbyists in Washington to buy politicians. Add to this the Citizens United ruling and you have the roadmap to where we are.
Don’t get me started on the apathy of the voting public, though that figures into the mix also.
Yes, you Democrat-haters are always full of inaccurate and Republican-enabling analysis.
Points to you for “forgetting” / failing to mention that Obama couldn’t replace RGB until McConnell, controlling the Senate, chose to *allow* hearings on RGB’s replacement before the Senate. McConnell refused, and we lost a SCOTUS seat.
Don’t lie and claim RBG stopped something from happening.
A key example of what Oliver writes about is that while there was a whole lot of discussion about Project 2025, where was the Democratic Party’s counter agenda to that?
It’s really unfortunate that the Republican Party wants us going backwards in every way imaginable, but they do look at the world in decades rather than election cycles. I would love to join a political party that aligns with my views for a better world for all, and works diligently to implement that in the years ahead and not just come voting time.
In the 80s, using Carter's defeat as an excuse, the DLC swept in with their neoliberal agenda and hijacked the party. The prioritized the donor class over the working class. It hasn't been the party of FDR ever since.
The horrifying thing is that if Trump and his henchmen do fuck up so badly the Dems take one or both houses of the legislature, the same old weaklings will be in charge. They'll fail to rein in the criminal enterprise. They won't impeach the bastards who are ruining the nation, in the executive and judicial branches. They'll wring their hands and whine about needing more money and more congressional control.
These losers don't know how to lead. They just keep doing the same thing over and over despite their terrible failures.
In my view, we must get the firebrands out there LOUD, PROUD AND VISIBLE. Have them explain what DEI really fucking means.
United We Stand.We allowed MAGA to steamroll common sense, allowed them to pit us all against each other, and did not condemn their excesses in no uncertain terms to the entire country. We've created echo chambers where we whine to each other about how unprecedented this is...when the SCOTUS fucking throws precedence out the window like the seething contents of a medieval chamber pot, that should have been our first clue. Let the United States know we are the party of common sense and common cause. and that we can out-unprecedent MAGA.
More appearances on the Fox's of the world, fewer stunts like Scarborough's, Newsome's, Fetterman's, Schumer's. What the hell is that?
Great post. You're so right. The crazy thing is that in our "attention economy" the first person who pulls a "Have you no decency, sir!" will be a hero. It's weird people's P.R./consultant brigades don't seem to be advising this.
I wish that ESPN would take my name off of their racist production “O.J.: Made in America”. I thought that Ezra Edelman, the black producer, would have some control over the project, but higher ups apparently decided to take Jeffrey Toobin’s racist line that blacks are “incapable of recognizing reality.”* He says that the black jurors in the criminal trial and elsewhere can’t think as well as whites, and shouldn’t receive “a pat on the head.” The late Norman Mailer, Mr. Incoherent, suggested something similar in New York magazine. This is a Eugenics line, which holds that blacks make decisions based on emotions, and not reason, which must come as a surprise to the black scientists who work at NASA.
The second part of Toobin’s pro-police, pro-prosecution theory was that the decision in the criminal case was the jury paying the LAPD back for its past brutality against blacks. (One of the jurors was white!) Bill Hodgman got sick and wasn’t able to try the case, yet there he was on “O.J.: Made In America,” voicing his theory of the case.
In the series, other prosecutors yammered on and on about theories that were disproven in court. A detective who might have planted evidence was allowed to take up time. In order to make the case that the decision in the criminal trial was based on black grievances about the LAPD, or Mark Furhman, they used a black juror whose opinion fit this marketable line instead of jurors who voted on the basis of evidence that had been tampered with. The late Philip Vanatter never explained why he carried a vial of the victim’s blood to O.J.’s estate.**
Of course, Toobin, who is Harvard trained and Harvard married and whose parents were well-off, refuses to believe that the police plant evidence, even when Mark Furhman had a history of such practices.
Those who are making money from black Bogeyman marketing, in this case O.J. is the commodity, neglect to mention that the jury in the criminal trial included a white and a Hispanic. Interviewed recently, the Hispanic juror said that he was convinced that the police had planted evidence. Are Hispanics prone to conspiracy theories or just blacks? He’s backed up by three of the top American forensic experts: Henry Lee, Michael Baden and Cyril Wecht. Wecht believes that O.J. Simpson was guilty, but believes that the police planted the blood on the sock found in O.J.’s bedroom. Other blood evidence was obviously taken from the lab because it was tainted with a chemical preservative.
One of the positive results of the trial was that it exposed the sloppy way that evidence is handled in the country’s crime labs, resulting in thousands of innocent people being sent to prison. Though much was made of O.J.’s shoes appearing at the crime scene, Michael Baden said that policemen, who refused to wear booties, made most of the prints.
Toobin’s idea of evidence is hair samples found at the crime scene, which he says belonged to O.J. Many scientists dismiss hair evidence as junk science. Moreover the hair found at the crime scene was dyed. O.J.’s barber said that O.J. didn’t dye his hair. The media neglected to mention that hair identified as Caucasian hair was also found at the crime scene and the DNA found under Nicole’s fingernails gathered there when she fought off her attacker or attackers didn’t belong to O.J. Instead of turning the blood evidence over to the lab, one of the detectives carried it around.
Toobin’s book, The Run Of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson, was used in both O.J. series.”O.J.,Made in America,” and Fox’s “The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” The book was used to cover up police and prosecutorial misconduct. He recently said that the idea of prosecutorial misconduct is “ridiculous.” Tell that to the thousands of black and Hispanic defendants in jail because of lying policemen and prosecutors withholding exculpatory evidence. Incidentally, one of the black jurors was a DNA scientist. She didn’t appear on either of the O.J. moneymakers because she would have upset the line promoted by ESPN and earlier Fox, that blacks played the “Race Card,” instead of being persuaded by the arguments made by Barry Scheck and the other forensic scientists. In order to stir media’s big money maker–The Racial Divide–ESPN showed the usual footage of blacks cheering the decision and whites expressing gloom. Whites in a Buffalo bar cheered the decision. O.J. played football in Buffalo.
As for the civil trial held in Santa Monica, 64% of the white jurors mostly*** believed in O.J. Simpson’s guilt before they were seated. They finally captured the coon in Las Vegas where he foolishly invaded a hotel room for the purpose of retrieving his own memorabilia. ESPN omitted the fact that the F.B.I. was informed of the sting weeks before it happened.**** The O.J. revenge sentence was delivered by Judge Jackie Glass, who had to insist that it had nothing to do with the Brentwood murders. She gave him 33 years. Some saw this as excessive. It was. It was meant to make up for the life sentence that the jury in the criminal case refused to deliver.
ESPN suggested that O.J. deserved the sentence by preceding the Las Vegas caper with scenes of a decadent O.J. partying with scantily clothed white women, a scene that has always been a big money maker for the perverse to leer at, which is why the porno movie genre called combo is a big hit even among KKK members. This porno angle has brought power to people like Tennessee’s Senator Corker, who won an election by pairing his black opponent Harold Ford, Jr. with white Playboy bunnies. Corker is on the short list to be Trump’s Vice Presidential nominee.
When the “producer” Ezra Edelman interviewed me, I made all of the points I’ve enumerated here. Moreover, James Poniewozik in The New York Times, June 20, 2016, made none of these important points in a friendly summary of the two O.J. entertainments. It was a Times reporter who agreed with Toobin that the murderer’s gloves fit O.J. He, like Toobin, didn’t witness the demonstration.
My interview wasn’t used because it would have disturbed this entertainment that was meant to comfort a white audience into believing that all of the questions about the Brentwood murders have been answered. They haven’t. 35 million people watched it. That’s why it faithfully supported the line of the prosecutors and the police, regardless of whether O.J. is guilty or innocent of the Brentwood murders.
Meanwhile Jeffrey Toobin, the black Bogeyman entrepreneur, has probably made more money pimping O.J. than all of the money made from Virginia slaves during a given year. He’s the new kind of slave trader. He wants more. Who is the next black Bogeyman that Toobin will deliver to an audience that can’t get enough of this garbage in, garbage out? It’s been announced. It’s Cinque of the Symbionese Liberation Army. Fox will make a film about Patty Hearst using Toobin’s point-of-view.*****
The Court TV docuseries OJ25 (2020) is the best and most truthful account of the trial.
Fred and Kim Goldman denied Trayvon Martin’s murder was racially motivated and defended George Zimmerman’s acquittal. They also went after Sydney and Justin Simpson for money.
2016 Vulture interview with juror Sheila Woods:
I guess maybe black people cheering was less about O.J. and more about the politics of the LAPD at the time, police brutality. A lot of their catharsis was bigger than O.J. I can understand that. But at the end of the day, two people were murdered.
I think most people thought we based our decision on race. Race never came up in the topic of our deliberation, or even how the LAPD treated black people.
Like, regarding Fuhrman, none of his comments really …
The thing with Fuhrman was once his credibility was shot, you really could discount anything he said. He was definitely a liar — he lied on the stand — and when he came back to the court, he took the fifth on everything. Why would you trust anything he said? He was the detective that found all this evidence: the blood on the Bronco, on the back fence, on the glove … all of that created reasonable doubt.
Was there a moment in particular during the trial that really swayed your decision towards reasonable doubt?
Yeah, when they started talking about the blood evidence. There was, like, a milliliter of blood they couldn’t account for. And they found blood on the back fence of Nicole’s condo, and that particular blood also had the additive in there. That additive is only found in [a test tube of blood], so why would the blood sample on that back fence contain that additive unless somebody took the blood from the test tube and placed it there?
Do you think O.J. was framed?
I don’t know if he was necessarily framed. I think O.J. may know something about what happened, but I just don’t think he did it. I think it was more than one person, just because of the way she was killed. I don’t know how he could have just left that bloody scene — because it was bloody — and got back into his Bronco and not have it filled with blood. And then go back home and go in the front door, up the stairs to his bedroom … That carpet was snow white in his house. He should have blood all over him or bruises because Ron Goldman was definitely fighting for his life. He had defensive cuts on his shoes and on his hands.
O.J. only had that little cut on his finger. If [Goldman] was kicking to death, you would think that the killer would have gotten some bruises on his body. They showed us photos of O.J. with just his underwear just two days after, and he had no bruises or anything on his body.
Bravo!!! You have written many of my thoughts especially "While I acknowledge we live in a two-party system, it seems pointless to many to keep showing up for Democrats who won’t show up for us when it counts." This is also one of my recurring frustrations, when they had the majority they did not do anything to protect ROE even though they knew it was coming. They then went on using this as a tool to try to further rile us to vote for them to do what they should've done to begin with. Another point you touched on Dems won't do anything unless it is safe and yes it does certainly appear like that. It gives them those made up problem that our government has created for them to act like they are fighting for us. If they would just do their job without all this made up shit we would all be better off, and we may actually have a country we can live in, in harmony rather than what we seem to be existing in.
Everyone (?) I don’t see anybody but you … we’ve got Republicans with us now , too. Ain’t it glorious ? You know who’s laughing , too? The people who are reading all the top secret military plans you illustrious leaders are putting on Signal- hear the circus music?
I give. Y’all will never wake up. But I do like to hear the other side from time to time. Just makes me know I’m on the right side. We the people voted for MAGA & the team. So over & out😉
What corruption and waste do you speak of? Oh like when Obama bailed the republicans and the fucking country out? Please dont go on that stupid Hunter Biden diatribe...Or when the drump crime family and their J6 folks were let off the hook?
Schumer and Durbin have been useless for years. I have never expected them to rise to the challenge. But I am most disappointed in BARACK OBAMA. No one on the planet strike more terror in the heart of Emperor Dipshit than Obama. His silence in the face of Trump's increasing authoritarianism is unacceptable.

Obamas Kamala Harris Hilary owe u nothing. in 2017 prog/leftists were telling HRC to go away. Willis is a clout chasing A HOLE.
I didn’t think so at the time, but I’m starting to believe Bernie would have been a better candidate than Hillary.
Yes Americans are itching to elect a self professed socialist who was over 70yrs old & spent his honeymoon in Moscow.. said no1.
That’s what I thought at the time. But Bernie connects better with the Joe Rogan audience than the people we did run.

The DP needs new leaders and messaging! The old guard needs to train and get out of their own way! ie Feinstein, Pelosi, Schumer, RBG

My point was that she should have let Obama appoint her a successor!
Yes, you Democrat-haters are always full of inaccurate and Republican-enabling analysis.
