President Trump Has Opened Our Eyes

“President Trump continues to serve only the far right fringe. What he has taught us is that this 'fringe' is actually 40% of the country.”

Before Donald Trump became President, I used to have a hard time figuring out how so many people could continue voting Republican, given their total corporate subservience and utter disregard for the American people.  A certain number is understandable.  A certain percentage could actually be...

Centrists In The Age Of Trump

“"But being conciliatory is not always the right approach. The correct response to outrageous behavior by the President, is to show outrage."”

Even before Trump, it had been getting harder and harder to understand how centrists could remain in the center.  The Republican party slid farther and farther into the swamp, to the point that they were little more than a gang of corporate thugs.  How could ANYONE, save the most cultish of all...

The Unacceptable Support of President Trump

“"There is nothing to talk about here, no chance of reconciliation. If you support Trump, after all he has said and done, you are simply not a...”

As the horror show in the White House churns on, the continued support of Donald Trump by such a large segment of American society becomes more and more outrageous.  How can any normal, reasonable person accept Trump support as a valid, respectable position? The insane amount of corruption,...

Christmas Needs a Remake

Who says discussion sites can't change opinions?  The recent talks about Christmas have shifted my position on the use of the word 'Christmas,' that does bother a certain group of secular thinkers. While right wingers are being a little too dramatic about the term 'Christmas' being under...

Who is Robert Mueller?

The character and integrity of Robert Mueller has been under attack lately, from Republican politicians, talk show hosts, and even several of our own members here at Newstalkers.  I can't help but wonder if all of these people attacking him, are familiar with just who this man is.  The following...

Fake News, Donald Trump, and the Left/Right Debate

The left/right debate in this country is pretty much at an impasse these days.  As many have observed in recent years, the two sides can no longer agree on a basic set of facts to debate from.  Without this, of course, there can be no debate, it can't even get off the ground.   Increasingly,...
