This is absolutely brilliant. For better or (likely) for worse, even if Trump isn’t president anymore, he isn’t going to go gently into the night. Trump can still bark even if he can’t bite, and wouldn’t that be so much better for our country? Just to add an additional chuckle (assuming you have watched the […]
I don’t normally post things sent to me, but this illustrated timeline of Trump’s lies about the coronavirus by Noreen Graf is definitely worth sharing.
Thursday, the same day as the final presidential debate, the US set a new all-time record for the most number of new Covid-19 cases in a single day. The benchmark was hit as the pandemic has accelerated at a pace not seen since the summer and as many local governments have reimposed restrictions to stop […]
Back in April, I posted “Vote Him Away (The Liar Tweets Tonight)” by Roy Zimmerman. Here’s a new song from him, performed virtually with some friends: Remember to vote, the sooner the better.
Just when you think that this election can’t get any more insane, Sacha Baron Cohen releases a new movie, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm“. In it is a scene where Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani has an “indiscreet encounter” in a hotel room with a young actress playing Borat’s daughter. In the film, released on Friday, […]
You know you are in trouble when even your own lawyers don’t like you. Lawyers at Jones Day, which has earned millions as outside counsel to President Trump’s re-election campaign, have donated nearly $90,000 to the campaign committee of Trump’s Democratic rival Joe Biden. Contributions to the Trump campaign by Jones Day lawyers totaled just […]
The election happens in two weeks. Maybe, if we are lucky, we will know the results within two weeks after that. Republicans are starting to flee Trumpism, sensing that their leader has become a loser. Some of them, like John Cornyn, are shooting themselves in the foot doing it. I, for one, am looking forward […]
Assuming that there is a final presidential debate, teacher Gerry Brooks has an excellent set of proposed procedures for keeping it from going off the rails like the first debate did. “Can you believe that?”
The idea of “court packing” the US Supreme Court has been getting attention lately, in the wake of Mitch McConnell and the Republican controlled Senate ramming through the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett less than a month before the presidential election. The media seems intent on pressing Joe Biden — including during Biden’s town hall […]
This ad by the Lincoln Project has a sense of humor. Methinks that they are starting to gloat just a little.
This is a fascinating interactive visualization of Covid-19 by state over time, created by Dan Goodspeed. The color of the bar indicates whether the state is “blue” or “red” (based on the Cook Partisan Voting Index). The length of each bar shows the number of Covid-19 cases per million people in each state. For example, […]
Trump is the first president in over a century who doesn’t have a dog. What I want to know is, in the clip of Trump saying he doesn’t want a dog, why are all those supporters clapping?
There is an interesting article in Time Magazine by Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Ali G, etc.) titled “We Must Save Democracy from Conspiracies”. Here’s a sample: Using unhinged lies and conspiracies to gain power and subjugate others is, of course, nothing new. The blood libel—the myth that Jews murdered Christian children and used their blood […]
