© Jen Sorensen Not so long ago, Americans thought that authoritarian leaders only came to power in countries like Turkey, where president Recep Erdogan has been cracking down hard on anyone in the media who criticizes him, while stoking nationalist fervor and traditional (sexist) values. But now we know that it could happen here. And […]
Trump is definitely not making life easier for Republicans. As a possible sign of what is to come, incumbent Republican congresswoman Renee Ellmers was the first down-ballot GOP candidate to be endorsed by Donald Trump. Trump even recorded a robocall for her. But she was crushed in the North Carolina primary last weekend, far behind […]
[Jokes from May 24, 2016] “If the 2016 GOP primary season taught us anything, it’s that Republicans can’t tell the difference between a deep bench and the bottom of a barrel.” – Bill Harnsberger “I saw that today, Donald Trump held a big rally in New Mexico. Which is weird, since he’s spent his whole […]
A humorous look at the conflict between Clinton and Sanders supporters: Now the only question is, can we laugh at ourselves? Personally, I won’t belong to any political group that doesn’t have a healthy sense of humor.
Sanders supporters are angry at Clinton. Republicans are becoming aware that they have nominated a two-bit con artist. People are looking for an alternative! Yes, you’ve been rickrolled. But if you really like the shirt, you can click on the photo to find out where to buy it.
[Jokes from May 20 & 23, 2016] “While at a rally with Chris Christie in New Jersey yesterday, Donald Trump said, ‘If you can make it in New Jersey, you can do just about anything you want in life.’ Then Trump looked at Christie and said, ‘Well, except be President.’” – Jimmy Fallon “It’s reported […]
Donald Trump is going off the deep end over the whole Trump University scandal and lawsuit. As if calling the judge in two of the cases against Trump U “a hater” and saying that the judge should be removed from the case because “he’s a Mexican” isn’t bad enough. First of all, the judge is […]
[Satire reprinted from The New Yorker. Here’s what Hawking actually said.] Stephen Hawking Angers Trump Supporters With Baffling Array of Long Words by Andy Borowitz LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking angered supporters of Donald J. Trump on Monday by responding to a question about the billionaire with a baffling array of long […]
After the AP called the Democratic nomination for Clinton, the Sanders campaign released a statement: It is unfortunate that the media, in a rush to judgement, are ignoring the Democratic National Committee’s clear statement that it is wrong to count the votes of superdelegates before they actually vote at the convention this summer. Now, I […]
If you live in one of the states that has a primary today, please vote. I don’t even care for whom you vote. People complain about the special interests in politics, but the main reason those special interests can get away with it is because most people don’t vote. Ignore the AP calling the primary […]
When Donald Trump created Trump University, he called it a noble endeavor with an emphasis on education over profits. In fact, he promised that if the (fake) university made a profit, he would turn the funds over to charity. Is anyone surprised to find out that even though Trump University had revenues of $40 million […]
[Jokes from May 19, 2016] “One of the ways that Trump is treating the convention like a reality show is holding off announcing his running mate. As one Trumpling said, ‘Announcing the vice-presidential nominee before the convention is like announcing the winner of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ before the final show is on the air.’ It’s an […]
There are many theories of why people support Donald Trump. One theory is that the voters are angry and hate the political establishment. Middle class workers have been hurt by the economy and are desperate to find someone who can shake things up. Or at least stand up to the special interests who are sucking […]
I’ve been having conversations recently with Bernie Sanders supporters and have felt a kind of desperation coming from them. Like if Sanders doesn’t win (and most of them are still holding out hope for that unlikely outcome) they will be very depressed or angry. Some are saying that they plan to vote for Trump if […]
