The British pound has already lost more than 25 cents against the dollar, the worst drop in the history of the UK. Similar drops in various stock markets are expected. It is estimated that the British economy will shrink by 3.8 to 7.5 percent. This is what happens when xenophobia and rampant nationalism win. Brexit […]
Bernie Sanders just published an editorial in the Washington Post, and it is really good. He immediately addresses the issue that has concerned me the most, that his campaign and supporters — with attacks on other progressives including Barney Frank and Hillary Clinton — had become a cult of personality (more about Sanders than about […]
The Republican establishment finally got Trump to read a speech from a teleprompter rather than winging it like he has been doing since he became the presumptive nominee. What I want to know is who wrote that speech? I also wonder how long Trump will be able to avoid going off script again. It must […]
[Jokes from June 14, 2016] “Donald Trump celebrated his 70th birthday today. And I guess instead of blowing out his candles, he just insulted them until they put themselves out. ‘You’re too hot! You smell like wax! You’re the worst part of this cake!’” – Jimmy Fallon “Today is Donald Trump’s 70th birthday. For the […]
I have a new theory about Donald Trump. It is something I’ve been noticing about him for more than a few weeks now. We all know that Donald Trump likes to attack people, but what I’m observing is that the things that Trump accuses other people of are pretty much all things that he himself […]
[Jokes from June 9, 2016] “Today Bernie Sanders had a private meeting in the White House with President Obama, which was fitting since they’re both beloved political figures who are just a few months away from not being president.” – Stephen Colbert “Bernie Sanders had a meeting at the White House. He just had a […]
There is a saying in business that the worst thing a company or person can do is start believing their own PR. PR is the bullshit that people and organizations put out in order to make themselves look better, but once you fall into the trap of believing your own PR, then you are in […]
© Jack Ohman I will admit that I have to shake my head when I read or hear someone worry that having Elizabeth Warren as the Democratic nominee for vice president would have “too many women” on the same ticket. I look forward to the day when such concerns are a matter for derision. But […]
After the Orlando massacre, Donald Trump repeatedly asserted that the people going to the nightclub should have been allowed to carry guns to defend themselves against the shooter. That’s right, Trump actually thought it was a good idea to let people carry weapons while drinking in a dimly lit, noisy nightclub. You know that’s insane […]
Sunday, Donald Trump doubled down on racism, saying that the US will have to consider the use of racial profiling: Well I think profiling is something that we’re going to have to start thinking about as a country. Other countries do it, you look at Israel and you look at others, they do it and […]
This is hilarious. And the https://www.donaldtrumphastinyhands.com website is real!
© Tom Tomorrow Here’s the survey that this comic references. And indeed, as you can plainly see from this graph showing America’s greatest year according to Trump supporters, the most popular year is 2000. Which ironically was the last full year of Bill Clinton’s presidency. Of course, the numbers are a bit more complex than […]
[Jokes from June 8, 2016] “It’s official now, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have both clinched the nomination for their respective parties. Which means we could be looking at our first female president or our last president.” – Seth Meyers “In the general election, Donald Trump plans on painting Hillary Clinton as money-grubbing and unethical. […]
© Ruben Bolling Can there be any doubt that the main appeal of Donald Trump is racism and bigotry? Of course, this is all Barack Obama’s fault. If he hadn’t gotten elected president (and he had the audacity to even be reelected), would there have been any need for Republicans to question his birth, his […]
[Jokes from June 7, 2016] “Today, presidential primaries are being held in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Or, as it’s being reported in the media, California.” – Conan O’Brien “It’s being reported that Hillary Clinton now has enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination. Hillary was so excited when […]
