Donald Trump seems to have just set a speed record for flip flops. As Electoral Vote hilariously put it: Donald Trump sat for an interview Friday with Face the Nation. By that point, it had been more than 24 hours since he had explained his deeply-held views on abortion rights, so it was time for […]
“Three more states went to the polls yesterday, and a lot of places wound up having record turnout. I guess people really want to be able to tell their grandkids, ‘There used to be a country called America and I voted in its last election.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump won yesterday’s Arizona Republican primary […]
How was Donald Trump as a businessman? Well, most of his business has been buying and selling real estate. Things he did as a landlord might be indicative of how he treats people and how he might act as president. In 1981, Trump purchased a 14-story building facing Central Park in New York City. His […]
“Here’s the latest on President Obama’s trip to Cuba. I saw that over the weekend he and his family were photographed on a walking tour of Havana in the pouring rain. Which means the president is like everyone’s dad on vacation: If he paid for the non-refundable tour, you’re going on that non-refundable tour.” – […]
The state of Florida used to be the poster child for how not to run an election. But their crown is in serious danger of being passed to another state, Arizona, whose recent primary election was an unmitigated disaster. In fact, the Arizona Secretary of State even confirmed that election fraud did happen, and that […]
Part 1 covered how much each presidential candidate’s tax plan would affect the top 0.1% of households. But in part 2, let’s get personal. How will each candidate’s tax plans (if they are enacted) affect the taxes that you pay? Vox has created a simple widget to calculate this (if you can’t see it immediately […]
Recently the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center published an analysis of the tax plans that each current presidential candidate has promised to enact (note that John Kasich has not published a tax plan). Mind you, it is Congress, not the president, who sets tax rates, but the president does have a fairly powerful bully pulpit from […]
A new Gallup poll measures the enthusiasm of each presidential candidate’s supporters. One of their conclusions merits a closer look: On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton’s supporters are more enthusiastic than Sen. Bernie Sanders’ supporters, 54% vs. 44%. Wait, what? Why do I keep hearing that Sanders supporters are far more enthusiastic than Clinton supporters? […]
© Tom Tomorrow Ironically, Donald Trump’s popularity has nosedived recently, for no particular reason. Maybe our flash in the pan has finally finished flashing? Who knows. It is true that finally the Republicans have woken up to the disaster that a Trump presidency would be, both for the country and (probably more importantly to them) […]
© Jack Ohman The only thing all three seem to have in common is that they are all about the rich. The “Tee” party is the Republican establishment, epitomized by Mitt Romney – the people that Trump and Cruz are supposedly rebelling against. The “Tea” party was taken over by the rich. Cruz pretends to […]
“The big story is President Obama’s historic visit to Cuba. After landing yesterday, Obama immediately tweeted out, ‘What’s up, Cuba?’ And Cubans opened up a window and yelled, ‘We don’t have the Internet! It’s like 1955 here!’” – Jimmy Fallon “Yesterday, President Obama arrived in Cuba, a formerly hostile territory. Tomorrow, he returns to Washington, […]
© Jim Morin We’ve already discussed the idea of Hillary Clinton nominating Barack Obama to the Supreme Court. I love it. Speaking of revenge, Politico makes the case that Hillary Clinton should pick Al Franken as her Vice President. They have lots of good reasons, but the best one to me is that it would […]
I’m seeing quite a few articles around the web trying to answer the vexing question of how Donald Trump became popular enough to be a serious contender for the presidency. After all, he is supremely unqualified for the job and he not only lies consistently, but isn’t even consistent in his lies (often contradicting himself […]
“Trump Tower in Chicago was struck by lightning during the Illinois primary, which Donald Trump went on to win. Nobody was hurt, but God was like, ‘Crap, I missed’.” – Jimmy Fallon “There were no injuries, but long story short, Donald Trump has switched bodies with an 11-year-old boy.” – Jimmy Fallon “Speaking of Trump, […]
The website is votetrumpgetdumped.com, and they also have a hashtag #votetrumpgetdumped. I’ll let their straightforward description on their website explain: Those Who Vote Trump Should Understand This: No Sex. No Dates. No Chance. To cast a vote for Trump is to agree with his sexist, perverted, demeaning, backwards, offensive treatment of women. Learn what’s at […]
