Groping for Irony

Donald Trump takes irony and hypocrisy to a new level: Trump’s message for most of this week was that women alleging sexual assault — regardless of how many years had passed, whether they filed charges, whether their claims were held up by the courts — deserve to be heard, rather than discredited or attacked. Trump […]

Hitting Bottom?

© Tom Toles As someone famously said, “At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” Although I think I know the answer. And I suspect that Trump has several more bottoms to crash through.

Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from Sept. 26, 2016] “Pundits are noting that this year’s group of debate moderators is the most diverse in history, featuring an African-American, two women, a Filipino, and an openly gay man. Trump was like, “I think I’ve heard this one before, but go ahead.’” – Seth Meyers “Hillary Clinton has asked “Shark Tank’s” […]

Disinformation!

I just want to pass on a Newsweek article that might not get the attention it deserves. Wednesday at one of his rallies, Trump directly passed on an email from a Russian disinformation campaign designed to manipulate the US election. It is an email that is supposedly from Clinton confidante Sidney Blumenthal (Trump’s favorite whipping […]

Make America Hated Again

The Brits need our help to make them look good again. You can do your part by not registering to vote, or just not voting. That way, America can regain its status as idiots. “C’mon America, be the bigger moron!” Indeed, Brexit passed because many Brits voted for it as a protest vote, assuming that […]

Trump’s Biggest Coalition

An interesting post in Electoral Vote points out that Donald Trump has built an unprecedented coalition — of people who can’t stand the thought of him becoming president. There’s Paul Ryan, of course, and John McCain, and a host of other high-ranking Republicans in Congress. Barack Obama has been anti-Trump from the outset, and is […]

Bizarro World

© Tom Tomorrow Is it sad to realize that if Hillary Clinton had done even one-tenth of the bizarre things that Donald Trump has done, she would have been laughed out of the presidential race long ago. The same thing is true of the other two candidates. Heck, Gary Johnson was derided because he misunderstood […]

[Jokes from Sept. 21, 2016] “It was announced that you’ll be able to watch next week’s debate on Twitter. So, finally a way to see Trump say something really crazy on Twitter.” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump falsely claimed that NBC News anchor Lester Holt is a Democrat, when he’s actually a registered Republican.

Late Night on Pussygate

Here’s a quick sampling of all the late shows: Easily the best of the bunch was Trevor Noah of the Daily Show, who totally takes Trump to task: Extra bonus footage from the same show, about how Trump is frighteningly channeling his inner dictator: And as the only female on late night, Samantha Bee throws […]

Zip It

© Clay Bennett After the “Fury in Missouri” debate it is clear that Trump cannot control his own mouth. Threatening to throw Clinton in jail may play well with his angry supporters, but it makes him look more like a tin-pot dictator than an actual presidential candidate. And it has legal experts, including Republican prosecutors […]

Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from Sept. 19, 2016] “It’s come out that Hillary Clinton is having a hard time connecting with millennial voters. So now she’s saying that last week’s coughing spell was actually due to a massive bong hit.” – Conan O’Brien “Hillary Clinton is here and today is my birthday! Later we’re going to bring out […]

Trump’s Real Debate Pivot?

Taegan Goddard has a very interesting reaction to Sunday night’s second debate. Trump didn’t try to act presidential — saying that Clinton should be thrown in jail and generally attacking her constantly. That may endear him with his base, but won’t gain him any new votes, which he desperately needs to actually win. Why is […]

Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from Sept. 15, 2016] “We have Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on the show tonight, which means security is very tight. On their way in, everyone in the audience had to put their keys into a tray and their deplorables into a basket.” – Jimmy Fallon “It’s been a busy week for Trump. Earlier […]

His Own Lawyers Testified that Trump Lies

In early 1990s, Donald Trump had 3 major bankruptcies: The Trump Taj Mahal Casino, Trump Plaza, and The Trump Castle. As reported by the Washington Post, these failures were largely self inflicted. Trump’s bankruptcy lawyers were Patrick McGahn and George Miller. In a 1993 bankruptcy deposition of McGahn comes the following curious exchange: Q. Did […]
