Missing the Point

Commentary Missing the Point 

Missing the Point – ‘The Art of the Steal’

April 5, 2025 Les Cohen

There’s an expression in business…  “Never write a check with your mouth that your tush can’t cash.”  That’s where President Trump and Republicans in Congress find themselves.  The “check” I’m talking about are Trump’s tariffs.

Missing the Point – An Open Letter to the People of Denmark and Greenland

March 31, 2025March 31, 2025 Les Cohen

With his second term barely underway, he’s already talking about how he might game our system to run for a third term – even though our Constitution limits Presidents to just two terms.  He’s delusional.  As a citizen, and the same is no doubt true for our allies, his Presidency is difficult to watch.

Missing the Point – Vulgar Times

March 28, 2025March 28, 2025 Les Cohen

We’ve turned against our allies in favor of imitating a Russian dictator and despot.  What’s the difference between our seizing control of Greenland and Canada against their will and what Putin is doing to Ukraine?

Missing the Point – President Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’

March 26, 2025March 26, 2025 Les Cohen

The point of President Trump’s head-spinning, “flooding the zone” strategy is to move so fast in so many different directions that he can exceed the ability of the courts and opposition in Congress to stop him.

Missing the Point – A Plan for the Democrats to Consider

March 17, 2025 Les Cohen

The Democrats in Congress, in both the House and Senate, seem to be flailing about – like the flubby-doodle man we see at car dealerships, arms and legs going which way and that.

Missing the Point – ‘Grand Theft Government’

March 13, 2025 Les Cohen

President Donald Trump, our country’s Liar-in-Chief, has promised certain of our nation’s wealthiest individuals very substantial tax savings in return for their having helped fund his re-election.  Who knows how much these tax savings will benefit the President and his family personally?

Missing The Point – We all need to calm down

November 17, 2024 Les Cohen

Don’t panic.  We’ve all got to calm down, me included.  It’s not as bad as it seems.  …Well, let me rephrase that.  It is as bad as it seems, but it could be worse.

Missing the Point – The Economy is in Charge

November 9, 2024November 9, 2024 Les Cohen

Apparently, the majority of the American people who care enough to vote are either unaware of who Donald Trump is or, for whatever reasons, are willing to overlook his criminal history, and authoritarian preferences..  His dishonesty is so prolific, how can the American people, our allies, and opponents trust anything he says?

Missing the Point – A simple, but nonetheless powerful argument for not voting for Donald Trump.

September 16, 2024 Les Cohen

It’s simple.  Either you trust Donald Trump, more than you trust Kamala Harris, or you don’t.  Forget about understanding “the weeds” of government policies and programs.  What does your gut tell you?  Which of the two candidates is more likely to be lying to you from the Oval Office?

Missing the Point – The Republican Party Elephant in the Room

August 15, 2024 Les Cohen

So, despite your many proven qualities as a government official, we’re breaking up.  It’s not you, Larry.  It’s your party.  Simply put, I refuse to do anything that might assure Republicans control over the Senate.
