My guess is that Nancy Pelosi will soon move to open up an impeachment inquiry of Trump in the wake of his mobster like attempt to use the Ukrainian government to attack and undermine Joe Biden. His latest and frighteningly dangerous breach of constitutional and democratic norms, I would think in her calculus, creates the basis to unite her up to now divided caucus as well as convince a skeptical public of the existential necessity of impeaching Trump. I hear lots of criticism of Pelosi’s foot dragging on impeachment, but in my mind she is an astute strategist and tactician who knows that in politics it isn’t enough to be right or righteous.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
