Can Republicans be done with paranoid and stupid?
Or we’ll never win another election. Who knew! The entire Democrat(ic) electoral tsunami — from Maine to Mississippi — was stolen! Yeah, Trump and MAGA are back at it; conjuring even more stolen election conspiracies. Quick, invoke Article XXV! Lobbed in over the Stately Manor’s transom are these conspiracy theories, each more absurd than the…

Time to suspend Police Civilian Oversight Board?
Alder moves to end PCOB! At the very end of Tuesday’s Madison Common Council meeting Tuesday night 11-10-26, Alder Yanette Figueroa-Cole introduced legislation from the floor to “Amend MGO 5.20 to suspend operations of the PCOB.” The measure will be taken up at the next Common Council meeting, 11-24-26.

Police monitor board pokes Madison council in the eye
Appoints anarchist cop-hater as monitor! Maybe it’s a death wish. The Police Civilian Oversight Board is daring Madison alders to revoke its charter and scrap the whole failed experiment. The PCOB threw up another headache for the City. It appointed former alder Rebecca Kemble as interim Police Monitor, replacing the one fired by the Common…

David Crowley is tainted!
His honeymoon is over before it started. Wisconsin just elected a dishonest double dealer as its governor. David Crowley put up a Milwaukee County budget with a $4.56 million shortfall, knew about it two weeks before his election last week, and didn’t disclose the sleight of hand to his own county supervisors — or voters…

Shut up, Piggy!
Republicans can’t win with their paranoids. My old boss Tommy Thompson is now saying what his itinerant speech writer blogged this week: Wisconsin is no longer a purple, battleground state. Worse, neither is Texas, apparently. Or Georgia and other states in the Deep South. We’re losing Iowa and Kansas, fer gawdsakes! The President’s worst legacy…

We won’t drink to that
Coming to grips with mid-term defeat. A few observations: Can Wisconsin even be considered a purple state anymore? A battleground, swing state? Democrats control all three branches of government — including the state supreme court. The Marquette University poll got it right by predicting a 7-point David Crowley victory; the Democrat won the governorship by…

‘The answer is Donald Trump’
Yes, there is a single, silver-bullet answer to the question, “Why did we get crushed?” … The answer is Donald Trump — specifically, the president’s shameful, erratic, often reckless, always self-absorbed, exhausting, in-your-face-24/7 second-term performance — reminding people nonstop of all the reasons they disliked him the first go-round, but this time without the perception of rising prosperity. …
I won’t even try to summarize Trump’s manic daily output of social media posts. Suffice it to say that they are habitually juvenile, profane, nasty, and self-aggrandizing (depicting him variously as Jesus Christ, a king, a crown-wearing fighter pilot defecating on his political critics, and so on). …
Republicans got their clocks cleaned this week because they made Trump the center of their universe. — Andrew McCarthy in National Review
