Who are the people arguing against the Iran nuclear deal? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton. US Senators Lindsey Graham and Chuck Schumer. What do all these people have in common? They all passionately supported the US invasion of Iraq. At least they are consistent, even if it […]
John Oliver on corporate welfare of the worst kind: And the biggest hypocrite of all is presidential candidate Scott Walker, who claims to be a fiscal conservative (he’s famous for his union busting tactics and for deep cuts to the state university system). Walker just gave away $450 million of taxpayer money to build a […]
Kansas wants you to know that they are really really concerned about election fraud. After all, they want to make sure that only the white right people vote. If you have been following along, Kansas first passed a law requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. But federal law requires states to accept the federal […]
“I saw that Donald Trump is selling his penthouse suite at the Trump Park Avenue building here in New York City for $21 million. When asked why he’s selling it now, Trump said ‘Hey, Americans seem to be buying everything else I’m selling, so why not strike while the iron’s hot.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Three […]
It is not ironic that the Republicans oppose Obama’s deal with Iran – the deal that prevents Iran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions against them. After all, not only do Republicans automatically oppose virtually everything Obama does, they seem to really like starting wars in the Middle East. […]
After Donald Trumps offensive comments toward Megyn Kelly during and after the GOP debate, Erick Erickson (editor of RedState and a Fox News contributor) uninvited Trump to the upcoming RedState Gathering, where Trump was scheduled to be the keynote speaker. Erickson said that “there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross. […]
“Tom Cruise is here to promote the new ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie, which I believe is all about Donald Trump’s PR team.” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump said this weekend that he is self-financing his campaign and is not beholden to donors and special interests. Or other nations. Or his party. Or the wealthy, or middle […]
On Thursday, 80 CEOs of big corporations published a statement pushing Congress to reduce the deficit. Unfortunately, they published it in the Wall Street Journal, so you have to be someone with a subscription in order to read it (how apropos!). To their credit, they encourage not just more spending cuts, but also higher tax […]
I know we all have a short attention span, but surely you remember two years ago when Republicans claimed that Obama was using the IRS as a political weapon against conservative groups. That “scandal” lasted about a week, and an investigation by the IRS Inspector General turned up absolutely no evidence of any wrongdoing, and […]
“Donald Trump has been all over the news this week, but he’s still struggling to be seen as a legitimate candidate by Republicans. In fact, now Trump is threatening to start campaigning as a third-party candidate if the Republican Party doesn’t become more supportive. Of course, a lot of Republicans say you need to give […]
Jon Stewart says goodbye to the Daily Show tonight. The way I see it, if Donald Trump gets elected president, it will be Stewart’s fault (just kidding!). On the other hand, if Trump becomes president, I’d bet Stewart will regret leaving the Daily Show. It is not often one receives a gold mine like that. […]
Does anyone else find it strange and inappropriate that Fox News gets to choose the candidates that will appear in the first Republican Presidential debate? It doesn’t help that they have been less than transparent about how they are picking, and the results of who they picked surprised a few people. Shouldn’t it be up […]
© Rebecca Hendin In the not too distant past, vast herds of conservative elephants roamed the great savannas of middle America, but today due to inevitable habitat loss and demographic changes, they are on their way to being endangered, if not eventually extinct.
“A major Iowa newspaper published an op-ed against Trump calling him a ‘self-absorbed, wholly unqualified feckless blowhard.’ Or as Trump put it, ‘You forgot very rich … I’m a very rich, self-absorbed, wholly unqualified feckless blowhard. Very, very rich.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump’s children released a statement this week calling their father a ‘true […]
This is pretty darn funny. Barack Obama calls up Jimmy Fallon Donald Trump to give him advice about the upcoming debates: Does anyone else find it funny that there is no way to parody Trump? The real Trump is a better parody of himself than any fake one. Another good read is “Boy, was I […]
