The Republicans and Fox News have been so successful at painting Hillary Clinton as a scandal-plagued hack politician that even liberals often repeat the GOP talking points. Unfortunately, propaganda works, even when you think it won’t. Which is why this article by Jon Favreau is so interesting. Favreau was Obama’s speechwriter during the 2008 election. […]
“After doing poorly in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, Jeb Bush announced that he’s dropping out of the race. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are both hoping to pick up Jeb’s supporters. Then Jeb said, ‘Joke’s on you — I didn’t have any supporters!’” – Jimmy Fallon “George W. Bush was a little confused […]
© Keith Knight With apologies to P.T. Barnum, there’s a racist sucker born every minute. Trump only came close to cementing the Republican nomination on Tuesday, but he certainly cemented Republicans as the party who would vote for a serial con artist for president. In the John Oliver video posted a few days ago, the […]
According to Google Trends, people searching on the phrase “move to Canada” reached its highest point ever in Google history on Super Tuesday.

In a newly updated version of “The Producers”, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane star as two political consultants who hatch a crazy scheme to make a lot of money. But it somehow backfires. Where did they go right? Far right?
“President Obama was spotted at a steak restaurant in D.C. this week with Morgan Freeman and Tom Hanks. They didn’t even order anything. They just closed their eyes and listened to Morgan Freeman read the appetizers.” – Jimmy Fallon “Tomorrow is the South Carolina primary, and this week Donald Trump has been telling supporters that […]
John Oliver takes on Donald Trump. Or should I say Drumpf? Hilarity (and a fantastic rant) ensues. This segment should be required watching for anyone who even thinks Trump would make a good president. And be sure to use the hashtag #makedonalddrumpfagain and visit donaldjdrumpf.com. UPDATE: According to an article in the NY Times, search […]
“When asked about Donald Trump, Pope Francis said that people who build walls are not Christians. And Donald said, ‘Of course I’m a Christian. Do you know how many carpenters named Jesus I have working for me?’” – Jimmy Fallon “Pope Francis stated that he did not think that Donald Trump is a true Christian […]
Some interesting facts about the primary contest so far. First is that polling has become much more difficult. For example, in South Carolina every major poll except one predicted that Hillary Clinton would beat Bernie Sanders by between 18 and 30 points. The lone dissenting poll predicted that she would win by 50 points, so […]
We seem so willing to give up our rights in exchange for a little safety, by forcing technology companies like Apple to install backdoors in their encryption. But not for gun rights. Think about how many lives would be saved if we just tightened up a few loopholes in gun laws, like the loophole that […]
“Hillary Clinton had a coughing fit during a speech and the crowd actually chanted her name as she opened a cough drop. She got applause for choking — or as Jeb put it, ‘Must be nice’.” – Jimmy Fallon “After his big win in New Hampshire, they say Hillary’s team is trying to dig up […]
Apparently some prostitutes at a Nevada brothel have launched a campaign for Hillary Clinton called ‘Hookers for Hillary’. Yeah, they want to donate money to the Clintons – or as they call it, ‘Giving back’.” – Jimmy Fallon “According to the latest national poll, Hillary Clinton’s lead over Bernie Sanders has narrowed to ten points. […]
© Tom Tomorrow Could anyone have imagined a presidential election this bizarre? It is almost like they invented a new propaganda technique. It is the political equivalent of the “big lie” – an election that is so unbelievable the voters have no idea what to do or who to believe. I mean, even “Emperor Trump” […]
© Signe Wilkinson The dispute between Apple and the FBI will be going on for a while. The government can’t even protect their own secrets. And yet they ask us to trust them to put backdoors into the devices that contain our passwords and other details about our most private information, including our health, wealth, […]
