Kevin McCarthy is the House majority leader and the likely person to replace John Boehner as Speaker of the House. He was interviewed on Fox News last night, and when pressed by Sean Hannity to list what McCarthy would fight for in the GOP-led House, he made a gaffe: What you’re going to see is […]
[This is a guest post from Mahmood Shaukat] In the election of Donald Trump may lie the salvation of American Muslims. My bags are packed; I’m ready to prove my loyalty to the United States of America by voluntarily moving into an internment camp. Hopefully, implemented under President Trump, these camps will be the biggest […]
“Donald Trump gave a big speech in Dallas last night, and began by pointing out that he wasn’t using a teleprompter. Then he yelled at Gary Busey to hold the cue cards higher.” – Jimmy Fallon “Last night Donald Trump had a big rally at the American Airline center in Dallas. Thousands of people came […]
© Tom Tomorrow Why is it that people become terrified over insignificant things, while totally ignoring the things that are really killing us. And I think I am safe to say that this is not something that is limited to right wingers. For example, liberals who are afraid of immunizations. In fact, liberals are generally […]
© Chan Lowe I’m sure everyone has heard way too much about Martin Shkreli, the jerk who somehow managed to give hedge fund managers a bad name (make that a worse one than they already had). What was the most terrible thing he did? Was it buying a 62-year-old inexpensive drug and increasing its price […]
“On Friday, Rick Perry announced that he is dropping out of the presidential race. It’s too bad. This country really needs more candidates like Rick Perry — you know, candidates who will drop out of the presidential race.” – Jimmy Fallon [I love this joke – iron] “Just 100 days into his candidacy, Rick Perry […]
New York magazine has a fascinating article “The Importance of Donald Trump” that claims that “Far from destroying our democracy, he’s exposing all its phoniness and corruption in ways as serious as he is not.” They have a point. Trump is no worse than the rest of the GOP wing-nut presidential aspirants. At his most […]
“President Obama awarded a National Medal of Arts to author Stephen King. You know, because if there’s anyone who can relate to the story of a guy trapped in a mansion that’s driving him insane, it’s Obama.” – Jimmy Fallon “At the beginning of the summer, everyone thought Hillary Clinton was inevitable. But right now, […]
I usually don’t post things as they are unfolding, preferring to wait until the facts are in. But this is just too ironic. John Boehner has announced that he is resigning. There seem to be two explanations: Tea Party congressmen were threatening to remove him from the House speakership if he didn’t force a government […]
Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn is the second-highest ranking member of the House energy committee. This is a key committee evaluating the dangers of, and alternatives to, fossil fuels. And yet, in a documentary about to be released by the BBC, Blackburn was asked what scientific evidence would persuade her that climate change was a threat. […]
“In a new CNN poll released this morning, Donald Trump is still on top, 32 percent among Republican voters, far ahead of his nearest rival. There’s a reason Donald Trump is on top of the CNN poll and that is because he’s constantly on CNN. If CNN and Fox and MSNBC and everyone ran nonstop […]
© Matt Davies Volkswagen, the largest manufacturer of cars in the world, has admitted to cheating on emissions tests. How bad is this? Eleven million cars were deliberately given sophisticated software that detected when the car was being given an emissions test (detecting that the steering wheel was not being turned even though the accelerator […]
Things are looking pretty bad for Carly Fiorina when even Fox News points out that her high point of the last GOP debate was a lie. Chris Wallace points out to her that no fact checker has been able to find the horrific video that she claims exists: Do you acknowledge what every fact checker […]
“According to a New York Times report, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is trying to put the whole email scandal behind her. They say they want to start bringing humor and spontaneity to her campaign. And nothing says spontaneity like announcing you’re about to be spontaneous. ‘Here comes the spontaneity in 3, 2, 1 … Boo!’” – […]
How the conservatives are welcoming Pope Francis to America: I don’t think conservatives are the least bit concerned about Christianity. Their religion is money and greed. My favorite line is when they attack the Pope for being “anti trickle-down economics”. O-M-G!
