Kathleen Wallace: $18 million is paltry change, and that is the amount in question–many have asked…. what is this? A few trips to Mar-a-Lago? 20 porn star pay-offs? The plastic surgery bill for the Trump clan?

Kathleen Wallace writes out of the US Midwest.
Boomer, X’er, Millennial. Rock Paper Scissors
Kathleen Wallace: Gen X in many ways exemplifies the greed of the Boomers (look what age group encompasses the current Silicon Valley parasites) and the terrifying crisis of purpose that Millennials are known for. In short, we are maybe the worst of both worlds.
American Unreality
Kathleen Wallace: Trump supporters consider him a “strongman” but like all strongmen of the past, he keeps his personal tiny hands clean and his bone spurs shiny–all the while scraping and bowing to the authoritarians he so admires.
$88,000 for Your Thoughts
Kathleen Wallace: The average Amazon worker is toiling for a median pay of $28,446. And in a lot of places that is considered a very good job, even if workers have to urinate in bottles to stay on track.
Welfare Cowboys and Weed
Kathleen Wallace: These men spring from the womb already knowing all they need to know–that they are, and have been, the recipients of a privilege.
When Dotards Run the World
t first I thought we had something of a kakistocracy going, that being government by the least principled in society, but that fine documentary “Idiocracy” made a compelling argument for idiots at the helm—Donald John Mountain Dew The Apprentice Miss Universe Naked Creeper Trump sort of thing…….but that isn’t enough to explain the human phlegm […]
The Lethal Tyranny of Sham Victimhood
his world is thick with souls having to live in a low grade existential terror every day of their lives—in places like Yemen where the sounds from above could be benign or could very well be bringing death-dealing drones. Or perhaps the Rohingya Muslims who flee those who would burn down their villages and murder […]
Rotten Foundations, Violent Structures
Kathleen Wallace: What is the true difference between being shot at a ball game, shot by a drone from the air, or knifed in a restaurant? A rubber stamp of approval by a government?
The Bilious Incongruity of Trump’s Toilet
he past week should have proven beyond all doubt that we do indeed have a semi-literate malignant narcissist in charge of our country. I’m not sure that we’ve ever had a president without a bit of that inclination; those in power seem to always spring from that fetid pool, but this time it seems to […]
Eyes Lifted, Rising Above Trump
t’s a bed and a bathroom. A place for the end.” Simple lyrics to a current song about missed opportunities and an impending sterile, perhaps forgotten death; I hear that line relentlessly when I see Trump oozing around the griftosphere of his oval office or Mar-a-Lago, wherever—the kind of places that could be advertised on […]
The Insanity Fair of the Never Wrongs
Kathleen Wallace: The Left wasn’t present in this general election in any form. We had a moderate Republican in Clinton running against a moderate Malignant Narcissist in Trump. Choices!
Boys, Hell, and the Politics of Vagina Voting
Kathleen Wallace: The young women are looking at their situation (huge student debt, erosion of good jobs, lack of universal health care) and they are utilizing their equal and talented brains to come to the conclusion that a neoliberal lackey is not the best fit for them, regardless of sex…vagina voting
The Child Has a Name; They All Do
Kathleen Wallace: His very appearance, dressed like a little guy cleaned up in his nice clothes for a visit to a relative’s didn’t help maintain that cognitive distancing. He looks too much like a child that we would see playing in the park, with his little velcro shoes.
