You’re Fired!

If you are suffering from Trump Fatigue, you aren’t alone. Just think of how nice it might be if we never had to hear from him again. So peaceful. Another great video from Randy Rainbow.

Closing Argument

I love hearing Michelle Obama speak. Listening to someone who actually understands and believes what they are talking about (without any overriding political agenda) is so refreshing. Yes, I know a 24-minute video is way too long for our short-attention-span world. But I’m posting this only because you might have noticed this video, but not […]

SNL is back!

And just in time. Here’s the cold open from last night. It starts out a little rough but has a good finish.

Fear of Monsters

As someone who really misses the comic “Calvin and Hobbes”, I take solace in Ruben Bolling’s occasional “Donald and John” strip:

Trump Knew!

Yes, Donald Trump knew that Hope Hicks had Covid-19 and that he had been exposed to her many times. And yet he still attended a fundraising event on Thursday with 30-50 donors (who paid as much as $250,000 to get a great bit more than they bargained for). Not only that, but he met privately […]

Presidential Covid Humor

Yes, I know that this is in bad taste, but this has been an election that has broken all existing rules of taste and decorum. So why not make some jokes to have some fun? Just remember that even Trump is somebody’s child.My thoughts are with Satan at this time. As President, Trump should get […]

Trump is a SuperSpreader

I hope everyone notes that Hope Hicks was showing symptoms of Covid-19 and was diagnosed Wednesday night. She had been in frequent close contact with Donald Trump. But did Trump quarantine himself? I’ll give you one guess. According to WaPo, on Thursday “Trump and his entourage flew to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser […]

Fanatics

It seems clear that only fanatics or people who are desperate for a job will work for Donald Trump. Here is documentation that all four of the people in this comic are unhinged religious fanatics: Bill Barr — “The attorney general believes the Christian hegemony is essential to American democracy, and wants to leverage state […]

Referee

Donald Trump agreed to a set of rules for a debate, but then just ignored them. He not only lies, he breaks his promises. The debates don’t need a moderator, they need a referee. The only thing missing from this comic is a penalty box for Trump that is both soundproof and blocks the internet […]

Vote… Him… Out…

Yet another killer ad from the Lincoln Project, featuring Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. UPDATE: Extra bonus Lincoln Project ad, based on last night’s shit-storm of a debate. Trump interrupted Biden, saying “Don’t ever use the word ‘smart” with me.” Well, ok.

Lockdowns for Liberty

I’ve said this before, and many times, but it bears repeating. Especially with new direct evidence. Strict lockdowns are the best (if not the only) way to beat Covid-19. Especially if done early. The earlier it is done, and the more severe the lockdown, the easier it is on people. I know this sounds counterintuitive, […]

Loser!

I’ve waded through the entire (very long) NY Times article about Trump’s taxes, but I have to say that Heather Cox Richardson has a much better summary of it. Here’s one paragraph from it: This, of course, means that Trump is a huge national security risk. He owes money—to whom we don’t know—and he does […]

Trump Supporters

I post this solely for its humor.

Good News for Travel

A little over a week ago I read about a new Covid-19 test that can provide good results in as little as 15 minutes. It is also less expensive because it does not require being sent to a lab, although it does require someone with training to administer (it is not expected that people can […]

On the Other Hand

Today’s edition of Electoral-Vote starts off by talking about Donald Trump’s attempts to steal the election (as talked about in my post yesterday). But then they ask “But will it work?“. And EV thinks that there are good reasons why Trump’s plans will fail. I sure hope so, but I’m not as sure as they […]
