The Good Old Days

Do you remember the “good old days” that Donald Trump speaks about? I do. If that’s what Trump supporters hanker after, I want nothing to do with it.

Scandals and Conspiracy Theories

To help refresh your memory, The Guardian has put together a comprehensive list of all the scandals that the Clintons were involved in in the 90s. I say “involved in” facetiously, because pretty much none of them actually turned up anything substantial directly on the Clintons themselves (other than the fact that Bill Clinton, like […]

Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from May 12-13, 2016] “The big Trump news today is this audio tape that resurfaced from 1991, where Donald Trump apparently posed as his own publicist during a phone call with People Magazine. People are saying it’s definitely him, but he’s saying it’s not. Hillary Clinton was like, ‘Isn’t it annoying when people dig […]

Gender?

© Ruben Bolling This comic highlights the thing that has always made me laugh about the whole bathroom bill controversy — just how in the hell would you determine the sex that someone was assigned at birth? There is just no practical way. So the claim that these laws protect children in bathrooms from harassment […]

How the GOP created the Abortion Issue

At the time of the Roe v. Wade decision, most evangelical Christians didn’t care about abortion. Back then, people who were against abortion were almost exclusively Catholics, while evangelicals are protestants — you know the people whose name comes from the fact that they protested against the Catholics. But six years later the GOP needed […]

[Jokes from May 11, 2016] “Yesterday on ‘Good Morning America,’ Joe Biden said he is ‘confident’ that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee. Then he said, ‘Of course, I also bet against the Mighty Ducks in all three movies, so what do I know?’” – Jimmy Fallon “A new poll shows Hillary Clinton just […]

Face Off

An eerie and slightly frightening article in The Guardian has photos from a factory in China that is mass producing Donald Trump masks, for use not just for the election, but for Hallowe’en. Here are two of the photos: Click on either photo to see more photos; it is worth it. Scary! Speaking of face-offs, […]

Extreme Prejudice

Thursday morning, an op-ed from Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) was published in the Deseret News (a major Salt Lake City newspaper that is owned by the LDS Church). In it, Hatch says: Like many of my Senate colleagues, I recently met with Chief Judge Merrick Garland, President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court. … Our […]

Politically Correct?

I’m not totally sure if I agree with what this is saying, but it is true that it is politically correct to not say racist things in public. But I really posted it because it is funny.

Elizabeth Warren on Donald Trump

You’ve probably heard a few sound bites from this speech, but likely nothing from the most important part. Trump claims that he can’t be bought, but now that he is the presumptive Republican nominee, he has pivoted and is now begging for money from the same Wall Street bankers who already own our political system […]

[Jokes from May 10, 2016] “In an upcoming interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump tells her that although they’ve reconciled their feud, ‘this could happen again.’ Especially if Megyn Kelly continues to stubbornly insist on being a woman.” – Jimmy Fallon “According to a new survey, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are tied […]

Primarily Humorous

It is hilarious when people complain about some aspect of the primary elections as being “undemocratic” or unfair, for a number of reasons. First of all, people complain only when some obscure detail of the primary process works against them (or their favored candidate). Or they just complain when they are losing. For example, Bernie […]

Imaginary Friends

© Ruben Bolling Donald and John: A boy and his imaginary publicist. Or Calvin and Hobbes: a boy and his imaginary tiger? Regardless, here are some of the great comments on this cartoon: Given Trump’s Calvinball tactics that seasoned political operatives seem ill equipped to handle, this is dead on. If Donald Trump is going […]

Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from May 9, 2016] “Jeb Bush wrote a Facebook post congratulating Donald Trump for securing the Republican nomination, but said he still won’t support him. Yeah, Jeb wrote an insincere Facebook post. Or as that’s also known, ‘a Facebook post’.” – Jimmy Fallon “A former speechwriter for John McCain said Donald Trump has an […]

P Trump Barnum

© Paul Szep But will it be close enough to get elected? And will Donald Trump produce John Barron’s birth certificate? UPDATE: Donald Trump attacks Hillary Clinton, saying “she knows nothing about national security” and dismisses her experience as secretary of state because “she’s incompetent”. “She is grossly incompetent when it comes to national security.
