Heather Cox Richardson had a great article yesterday about blatant corruption in the Trump administration. But what I found interesting was that she started the article with this sentence: Trump dominated the news today, which is usually a sign of negative news stories and his need to create distractions from them. Indeed, Trump had said […]
Only Donald Trump could lose an argument with himself. This takeoff is a heavily modified version of the disaster of an interview that Trump did with Jonathan Swan of Axios, which was shown Monday on HBO. The entire interview is around 30 minutes long, but is still full of cringe worthy moments. Or if you […]
That’s right, 4 cases of voter fraud found in the 2016 election. Out of around 129 million votes cast. That’s 0.000003 percent. Ten times more people die from lightning (43/year). A whopping 150,000 people (and rising) have died from the coronavirus this year. And that’s before we open schools and make things far worse.
Ammon Bundy, the anti-government activist who led the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016, declared that he supports the Black Lives Matter movement. He also expressed support for “defunding the police because yes the police need to be defunded.” You must have a problem in your mind if you think that somehow […]
What a fantastic summary of what is going on in our country. This must have been made a few days ago, because they left off the part about Trump and the Republicans massively screwing around with the Post Office so your ballots sent by mail will arrive too late to be counted (if you even […]
This is a new kind of ad from The Lincoln Project. It is 6 minutes long, so it likely won’t be shown on TV. And it uses actors, rather than the usual politicians saying and doing things. But it has an incredibly strong message, which is that Donald Trump has been able to normalized behavior […]
Last night was the first night that the federal agents sent to Portland by Donald Trump were removed from the job. Instead, the governor of Oregon had state police guard federal property, with orders to de-escalate tensions. And it worked! My favorite headline is “Portland sees peaceful night of protests following withdrawal of federal agents”. […]
If this doesn’t convince you, then may you catch fire and burn.
On April 23, Joe Biden said: Mark my words, I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held. The Trump campaign immediately responded: Those are the incoherent, conspiracy theory ramblings of a lost candidate who is out of touch with reality. Today, […]
Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain attended Donald Trump’s ill-advised campaign rally in Tulsa Oklahoma. He did not wear a face mask. Ten days later, on June 29, he tested positive for the coronavirus. Today, after a month-long battle with COVID-19, Cain died. May he rest in peace.
Bill Barr, who is supposedly the US Attorney General but acts like Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer, testified under oath to Congress on Tuesday. Here’s a list of lies and stupid things he said: Could not answer whether the President has the power to move the date of the election (he doesn’t) Wouldn’t acknowledge […]
Not if we know his strategy and fight it. How do we know he is going to follow this strategy? Because he is already following it. In fact, he seems incapable of even imagining any other strategy.
Trump is a bully, but when you stand up to him, he backs down like the loser he is. Just this week, he’s retreated several times: He insisted that Congress cut payroll taxes, but his own party members in the Senate said no. Probably because Trump would have benefited more from such a tax cut […]
Relive election night from 2016. If you dare. Could it happen again? NY Magazine seems to think not. But personally, I don’t want to take any chances. Besides, the only way to stamp out Trumpism is to defeat him and his enablers in a landslide so huge we won’t have to endure such a monstrous […]
