Donald Trump promises that he will repeal Obamacare (as the Republicans have been trying to do for a while) and replace it with a new tax deduction, certain changes to insurance markets including allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines, and converting Medicaid into a federal block grant to the states. But a […]
[Jokes from Sept. 9, 2016] “Donald Trump said this week that Vladimir Putin has been a leader far more than our president has been a leader, and he’s got a point. I mean, if President Obama was as strong a leader as Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump would be dead by now. That would be the […]
© Joel Pett Didn’t want to watch the debate? Didn’t have time? Here’s all you need to know.
(Get it?) Trump claims that he won all but one of the post debate polls. Including CBS. Except, CBS didn’t do a post debate poll. You know, sometimes I think Trump lies just to see if we are paying attention. By the way, even if you are sick of news about the debate, this Colbert […]
Politico has always been a right-leaning news organization, but even they have had enough of Donald Trump: After he lied on Sept. 16 that he was not the person responsible for the birtherism campaign to delegitimize Barack Obama’s presidency, POLITICO chose to spend a week fact-checking Trump. We fact-checked Hillary Clinton over the same time. […]
After Donald Trump Jr. put his foot in it with his Skittles tweet, next we got a howler from his brother Eric Trump. Last week on Fox News, Eric claimed that his father built the Trump Organization from virtually nothing. “He’s built an amazing company. He’s become the epitome of the American dream. He’s gone […]
Here it is, the full compilation of every sniff from Donald Trump during the debate last night. Who’s not healthy?
© Tom Tomorrow How many people were brave enough to watch the first debate? What were your impressions? Will Trump show up for the rest of the debates? Initial surveys show that 62% of viewers felt that Clinton won compared to 27% for Trump. However, there were more Democrats watching the debate, so we will […]
Donald Trump has been trying to appeal to blacks, although for some reason he keeps doing it in front of all-white crowds (the theory being that he knows he can’t actually get any minorities to vote for him, but at least he wants his supporters to be able to think that he isn’t actually racist). […]
[Jokes from Sept. 8, 2016] “Last night was NBC’s Commander-in-Chief Forum where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump gave live back-to-back interviews about national security, and the candidates decided who would go first with a coin toss. But there was an awkward moment when Trump saw the coin, grabbed it, and put it in his pocket. […]
There seems to be a side competition going on. A few days ago, Mark Cuban tweeted: Cuban famously questioned Trump’s boasted wealth in Vanity Fair, inciting a feud between the two billionaires. Trump responded Saturday by tweeting: Flowers is a former model who had an extramarital affair with Bill Clinton in the 80s. Even though […]
© Tom Tomorrow Gotta love references to “Dr. Strangelove“. Except now the enemy are no longer communists. The media no longer report on the news. They are the news. Marshall McLuhan’s dictum that “the medium is the message” has finally become true.
There is an amazing interview of President Obama by presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in Vanity Fair. I’ll give you one extended quote from Obama, but you really should read the whole thing: Early in my presidency, I went to Cairo to make a speech to the Muslim world. And in the afternoon, after the […]
Hillary Clinton appears with Zach Galifianakis on “Between Two Ferns“: I typically don’t enjoy Zach’s show because I’m not really into humor that is designed mainly to make you feel uncomfortable. But it is still worth watching just for Hillary doing a pretty good deadpan act.
A Trump campaign county chairwoman in Ohio has resigned after an interview with The Guardian in which she said a whole bunch of ignorant racist things: She called the Black Lives Matter movement “a stupid waste of time”. She blamed low voter turnout among blacks on “the way they’re raised”. Which is strange because in […]
