Don’t think election fraud is a real problem? Well, not in the way the Republicans claim it is (people voting without government ID). The real potential problem is the insecurity of the computers that the government uses to count votes. Monday, the FBI issued a warning that foreign hackers have gained access to election databases […]
[Jokes from Aug. 23, 2016] “A 12-year-old boy is actually running one of Trump’s campaign offices in Colorado. When asked how an inexperienced child could be running things, the boy said, ‘Look, he’s the nominee and we’re stuck with him.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump yesterday continued his attempts to appeal to black voters, telling […]
Maybe I’m missing something. Yes, I know that there is a narrative that Hillary Clinton is dishonest and untrustworthy. There’s even the alt-right version where she is a criminal who should be locked up (for, among other things, assassinating 40 people). To me, it just seems like people are taking any story about her and […]
© Jack Ohman The only people who will be convinced that Trump is not a racist are racists. But that may be the whole point. But the more important point is that Trump is making it ok to be racist in America, and this is extremely dangerous. As a must-read article in Rolling Stone puts […]
[Jokes from Aug. 22, 2016] “There are life-sized nude statues of Donald Trump. They showed up in cities across the country. You’d be walking in the park, and you see this statue [shows images]. Forget building the wall, Trump should just put a bunch of those things at the border.” – Jimmy Fallon “The New […]
OMG, Trump claims to hire only “the best people” but look at the people he hires. Saturday’s announcement was that Trump’s advisor on foreign policy issues is Michele Bachmann. You know, the woman who said “What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty. You’re the […]
We reported recently that Donald Trump had pretty much only appeared on Fox News after a disastrous interview on CNN after the conventions. Well, I guess Trump is reading this blog (hah!) because he actually (finally) gave an interview to CNN. It did not go well. In fact, it went really badly. Maybe he should […]
Obviously, this is not safe for work (good thing it is Saturday!), but it is a lot of fun. If you are at the end of your rope, there is something you can do. And it is even approved by Obamacare! From “Funny or Die“.
It is good that The Late Show is on late, because it seems Stephen Colbert can’t stop himself from having fun and discussing sex and politics: Go ahead, Google “Donald Trump Rudy Giuliani Drag Queen Motorboat”. Of course, starting today the top result is now Colbert telling you to Google “Donald Trump Rudy Giuliani Drag […]
[Jokes from Aug. 4, 2016] “I want to wish a happy birthday to President Obama, who turned 55 today. Big celebration at the White House. The White House staff sang to him. Then the president blew out the candles on his vegan, whole-grain, carrot prune loaf.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Happy birthday to President Obama who […]
Trump made a big deal about self funding his own campaign, but maybe he was using an alternative meaning of the term “self fund”. It looks like he meant that he would be using his campaign funds to enrich himself. Now that Trump is raking in money from donors, his campaign quadrupled the rent that […]
© Matt Wuerker I get the feeling that given the attention generated by the primaries (and despite any burnout) that the presidential debates (assuming Donald Trump shows up for them) will be the most watched in history. This comic is pointing out the difficulty of preparing for a debate against Donald Trump, who has taken […]
Frank Luntz gained fame as the conservative “public opinion guru” who created many of the GOP talking points though the use of “focus groups”. So it is extremely interesting that Luntz put together a focus group of Trump supporters in Pennsylvania — a state that Trump claims he will win unless Clinton somehow cheats — […]
© Tom Tomorrow I’m worried that most people are already burned out on our presidential election, just when things are starting to get interesting. This should be the time when people start actually paying attention, but the primaries were such a circus (on both sides) that fatigue has set in.
Donald Trump used to appear on any TV program that would have him, garnering him billions in free publicity. But those days seem to be (mostly) over. In fact, Trump is now appearing only on Fox News. What happened? The last time Trump appeared on any network other than Fox News was July 31, when […]
