Trump’s Voter Fraud Chicken Little Act, Pt 236

Posted on May 26, 2020May 27, 2020 by ScottSoriano

Donald Trump has been talking/tweeting a lot about voter fraud. While the latest blasts have been regarding mail-in voting, Trump has been talking about voter fraud since before he was elected. In 2016, shortly after his nomination to run as the Republican candidate for president, Trump was talking about voter fraud and how the general…

The Crisis of the COVID Crisis

Posted on May 25, 2020May 26, 2020 by ScottSoriano

Things get stranger and stranger. While a majority of the country still believes that we should follow public health experts’ advice and be very cautious with “reopening,” more and more people are treating the advice as something that they think is totally right on…for everyone else (COVID for thee and not for me me me…

Donald Trump: Master of the Empty Threat

Posted on May 24, 2020May 24, 2020 by ScottSoriano

On Wednesday May 20th, President Donald Trump threw an internet tantrum over Michigan and Nevada’s push towards vote-by-mail for the Fall election. He tweeted, “This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud…

A Pizza Guy’s Lesson On The New Economy & FDR’s Old Goal

Posted on May 21, 2020May 21, 2020 by ScottSoriano

Interesting story on The Verge: A pizza shop owner gets a few phone calls from angry customers complaining about delivery. His restaurant doesn’t offer delivery so he does some digging and finds that DoorDash is delivering his pies. News to him, he didn’t contract with DoorDash. DoorDash was doing what most of these third-party “disruptive”…

Trump Fronts for the Saudis…Again

Posted on May 19, 2020 by ScottSoriano

Every day a new story, and, since everything is so damn intense nowadays, it is easy to let the news fly by. Stuff that happened months ago gets buried and we forget…maybe… As any historian will tell you, history lives through tendrils attached to the present. Take President Donald Trump’s firing of State Department Inspector…

Elon Musk: Tech Pest & Bad Guy

Posted on May 18, 2020May 19, 2020 by ScottSoriano

As a news-junkie and a journalist, I love stories that unfold, the ones that start with some basics and then explode. In the initial stories, there’s hints of something more. I don’t really know what that something is, but a close read reveals some unanswered questions and odd coincidences. Enterprising journalists take those hints and…

To Hell With Either/Or

Posted on May 17, 2020May 17, 2020 by ScottSoriano

Hang around politics for a while and it becomes pretty easy to identify where arguments come from. Lately, there’s been a bunch of high-minded critiques of COVID mitigation strategies such as stay-at-home orders and non-essential business closures. These critiques are not the virus-denying, anti-vax, conspiracy-based, teenage “don’t tell me what to do” nonsense that we…

Step Out Of The Sewer

Posted on May 16, 2020May 17, 2020 by ScottSoriano

August 15, 2017, I wrote an essay called “Antidote to Overload…” It was written after a pretty intense two-week news cycle in which the following things happened: In Charlottesville, Virginia, a right-wing terrorist rammed a crowd of anti-racist protesters, killing one and injuring more. This happened after a day of battles between neo-Nazis and anti-fascists,…

My Utopia, Your Utopia, Our Future

Posted on May 15, 2020May 15, 2020 by ScottSoriano

Have you ever thought about what you want the world to be like for you and your family? I am not talking about three-hots-and-a-cot or the basic minimum for survival but what you really want. Have you ever crafted your utopia? I ask because knowing your utopia is a powerful thing. A utopia is target…

COVID Politics vs COVID Science

Posted on May 14, 2020May 15, 2020 by ScottSoriano

On Tuesday, I wrote a Soriano’s Comment about how support for COVID mitigation is way way way higher than what media coverage of the “Open America Again” show-protests (or showtests) suggest. Multiple polls tell us that the showtesters and those who support them make up a fraction of the population. On Wednesday, Washington Post/University of…
