© Tom Tomorrow Efforts by the Republican establishment to “stop Trump” are virtually guaranteed to fail. Why? For three main reasons: 1. Just what the heck are they going to use to scare people away from Trump that GOP voters don’t already know about him? That he has no government experience? That he isn’t a […]
“Tonight in Houston, Texas, there was yet another Republican debate. Even the people on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ were like, ‘How long does this go on?’” – Jimmy Fallon You can tell the candidates are getting bored up there ’cause at one point they took turns prank calling Jeb Bush.” – Jimmy Fallon U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly […]
A whole bunch of people I know are probably going straight to hell for laughing at this story, but it is just too ironic. Jamie Gilt is a gun activist on social media. Her Facebook page is full of pro-gun messages. Earlier this week Gilt had an online discussion where she claimed that having a […]
I promise, I will never say that this presidential race can’t go any lower. Stephen Colbert shows us what’s below rock bottom:
I know, less than half the primary delegates have been allocated, but it is starting to look like the primary season is wrapping up. On the Democratic side, The Daily Kos has announced that unless Sanders can narrow Clinton’s delegate lead by March 15 (less than a week away), then the entire site will declare […]
“Last night was the Republican caucus in Nevada, and Donald Trump scored a big victory, bringing him one step closer to the Republican nomination. A Trump presidency is getting so real, Mexico is starting to think a wall is a pretty great idea.” – Jimmy Fallon “Trump even won the Latino vote. Which is amazing. […]
I’m not a big fan of Bill Maher, but this is pretty darn funny: How did we go from the land of immigrants (well, except for the natives, whom we killed and put on reservations) to a land that hates immigrants and wants them to build a wall to keep themselves out.
Ted Koppel schools Bill O’Reilly on the role of the media in politics. He doesn’t quite say it, but he strongly implies that the media is not doing their job. The news has completely succumbed to “shiny object syndrome” and are far more concerned with ratings and entertainment.
OMG, this is hilarious. That’s the news from America. What does Britain think of all this?
“We have Bill Gates on the show tonight. We wanted to have a soft-spoken, thoughtful billionaire who is trying to make the world a better place, but since Donald Trump wasn’t available — we went with Bill.” – Jimmy Fallon “At a rally in Las Vegas last night Donald Trump told supporters he’d like to […]
It is nice to find a Republican who, at least on one issue, acknowledges reality. The GOP governor of the state of Georgia, Nathan Deal, has strongly denounced a proposed “religious freedom” bill that would exempt religious bigots from prosecution if they discriminate against people with different sexual orientation. What really impressed me, however, is […]
© Berkeley Breathed How can Trump make America great again if he is a direct symptom of the problem with America?
It is easy to get caught up in the politics of the Supreme Court, especially with the unexpected death of Antonin Scalia and the fight over his replacement. But meanwhile, the court is still hearing important cases. This week saw oral arguments about a Texas law that requires stringent new standards on abortion clinics that […]
When the machines take over, will they speak via Twitter? First, Gawker created a Mussolini bot named @ilduce2016 that tweeted quotes from Benito Mussolini at Trump. The goal was to get Trump to retweet Mussolini, and they succeeded. But now, an AI researcher at MIT has created an AI bot named @DeepDrumpf that tweets just […]
Staff pick from one of the best bookstores ever – Powell’s Books in Portland: To be serious, I don’t think Trump is a actually a fascist, he is just playing one on TV in order to get attention (and it seems to be working). Yes, he is extremely authoritarian, but he doesn’t have any particular […]
