[Jokes from June 23, 2016] “Democrats held a big sit-in on the House floor to protest Congress’ refusal to vote on gun control. Or in other words, Democrats were tired of Congress not getting anything done, so they refused to get anything done until someone got something done.” – Jimmy Fallon “House Democrats staged a […]
You know how Donald Trump raised money last month? By sending out YUUUGE amounts of email spam! I never imagined that anything could be worse than spam clogging up my inbox, but spam from a racist billionaire begging for money? Trump sent out so much spam that he was cut off by his bulk email […]
I highly recommend that you read a new article in Medium by Bernie Sanders. It hits all the bases, including making the point that in order to get progressive reforms, we must elect progressive candidates at all levels of government, not just at the top. I (once again) thank Sanders for making it ok to […]
While national polls are pretty consistent in showing Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump, you have to remember that darn Electoral College, which makes national polls next to meaningless. The important thing is who wins the swing states. And in new polls of swing-states, Trump is leading Clinton in the mother of all swing states, Florida. […]
[Helen Philpot from Margaret and Helen has a good rant about Donald Trump.] Margaret, which voters have their heads farther up their asses, Trump supporters or Brexit voters? Wait a minute. Is it farther or further? I don’t know, but either way the asshats they are now wearing aren’t making anyone great again. I know […]
I always knew that Bill Watterson was a genius, but who knew that he could predict the future? And kudos for whoever (DeForester?) pasted in Trump’s face.
Jane Elliott, the teacher who became famous for the “blue eye / brown eye” experiment in her classroom, spoke recently about racism. She makes a point that I don’t hear often enough — that racism is so pervasive and insidious that we are all influenced by it. Indeed, even Elliott admits that she has exhibited […]
Bloom County has some advice for people who are freaking out about our upcoming election. © Berkeley Breathed Actually, I think things are going well. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are working together to produce the most progressive Democratic party platform in history. And there is hope (and even some evidence) that the current eruption […]
The National Rifle Association usually doesn’t mince words when defending the right of Americans to arm themselves. But we now have a case where a person, legally licensed to carry a concealed weapon, was stopped by the police for a broken taillight. He informed the officer that he had a firearm. The officer asked him […]
The most pleasantly surprising response to the recent racial tensions came from Newt Gingrich, while he was participating in a Facebook live chat: It took me a long time, and a number of people talking to me through the years to get a sense of this. If you are a normal, white American, the truth […]
[Jokes from June 22, 2016] “Things are really heating up between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Hillary gave a speech yesterday attacking Trump, and then today, Trump gave a counter-speech attacking Hillary. Which means 2016 will always be remembered as the election of ‘Shut up’ — ‘No, you shut up.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump […]
It is time for people to stop hating and arguing against each other and realize that neither side has exclusive rights to the truth. Being a policeman is a tough job, and a dangerous job. Mistakes will happen. Most police deserve our respect and admiration. But a few police are criminals and should be removed […]
We are being bombarded by “news” about the horserace that is the presidential election, and are pretty much sick of it. Unfortunately, this means that we are ignoring the real stories behind the headlines. I mention this because we are missing a potentially generous serving of irony. For example, the headlines are blaring the news […]
Having lived in the UK, I can tell you that it really is that complicated. In fact, it is even worse. They didn’t even get into the status of the Isle of Mann, or the Channel Islands. And then there’s the Falklands, another part of the UK, even though they are just off the southern […]
© Tom Toles We’re still waiting to see Donald Trump’s tax returns so we can see how much he didn’t give to charity, because of all the money he claims to have, but doesn’t. But the big question is, could Trump actually hide a quarter? After all, he has really small hands.
