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…

‘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
