I wish someone would stand up to Trump like this.
With the primaries essentially wrapped up, PolitiFact did an analysis of the 2016 presidential primaries and the statements from all the candidates. It is an interesting read. The primaries lasted 465 days (100 days more than a year), and PolitiFact published 650 fact checks (1.4 checks a day). The first conclusion is somewhat unexpected — […]
[This is a shortened version of an even better comic, which you can see here. It was written by Phil Plait and drawn by The Oatmeal.] This comic was based on a Facebook rant by Phil Plait: You remember how when you were a kid on the Fourth of July and your parents bought fireworks […]
Actor Aziz Ansari recently published an opinion piece in the NY Times titled “Why Trump Makes Me Scared for My Family“. Ansari isn’t a religious person, but he is the son of Muslim immigrants. You should read the whole article, but I just wanted to quote one thing. Mainly because it supports my theory that […]
Back in 1987, when Reagan was president, at the height of the cold war, top state department official Ronald Spiers (accidentally) leaked one of the government’s most sensitive documents (above top secret), which ended up in the hands of nearly every government in the world. The leaked document was a photo of the “National Intelligence […]
© David Horsey I don’t get it. If Bill Clinton wanted to compromise the Benghazi investigation by having a sneaky private conversation with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, why would it happen in a public place? And after dozens of Republican investigations into Benghazi, why does anyone even listen to this noise anymore?
What’s worse than a cheapskate? A cheapskate who lies about being generous. Trump repeatedly promises money to charities and then stiffs them. According to the Washington Post: In the past 15 years, Trump has promised to donate earnings from a wide variety of his money-making enterprises: “The Apprentice.” Trump Vodka. Trump University. A book. Another […]
[Jokes from June 21, 2016] “A new Election Commission report just came out saying that the Trump campaign isn’t doing so well financially, and is practically broke. It’s not good — in fact today, Trump stole a bunch of towels from his own hotel.” – Jimmy Fallon “Last night, the Federal Election Commission announced how […]
The Trump campaign was caught sending fundraising emails to politicians. That wouldn’t be weird, except that they were sent to politicians in other countries, like the UK, Iceland, Australia, and elsewhere. It is hard to know where all the emails went, but there were a lot of them. Multiple email blasts were sent out both […]
Ronald Reagan’s son Ron has rented a billboard in Cleveland so he can troll the GOP convention using his father’s own words. Here’s an example: © FFRC The quote on the billboard really is from the Republican’s Saint Ronnie. The speech it comes from is even more explicit: We in the United States, above all, […]
I’m very happy about the Supreme Court ruling throwing out the Texas law that had already closed half the abortion clinics in the state and would have closed half of the remaining clinics if it had fully gone into effect, leaving just ten clinics for the entire state. What really pisses me off about the […]
© Tom Tomorrow Has it really been just a year since Donald Trump announced he was running for the presidency? It seems way longer for some (unknown) reason. You can make a 23 panel comic just by quoting Trump’s greatest hits from the last year. And as Tom Tomorrow put it “Obviously I’m only scratching […]
Samantha Bee has a marvelous rant about Brexit and Donald Trump. Extra special bonus for Doctor Who fans (like me!) is having not one but two Doctors from Doctor Who appear (both of them Scottish). Watch David Tennant read aloud some of the hilarious tweets blasting Donald Trump. And remember, don’t blink!
Will Republicans start accusing the Wall Street Journal (owned by the same people who own Fox News) of having a liberal bias? It wouldn’t surprise me after they published an article titled “Study Sees Debt Jumping Under Trump, Staying Steady Under Clinton“. This is not just the WSJ’s opinion. Several studies have analyzed the tax […]
[Jokes from June 20, 2016] “Congrats to Chelsea Clinton, who welcomed her second child over the weekend. After the birth, Bill brought flowers, while Hillary brought a focus group to help name the baby.” – Jimmy Fallon “Chelsea Clinton gave birth to a son this weekend. Unfortunately, due to his young age, he’s a Sanders […]
