Republicans are attempting to discredit Michael Cohen as a liar, even though he lied to Congress because Donald Trump told him to. Trump himself called Cohen a “bad lawyer and fraudster”, even though Cohen worked for Trump as his personal lawyer (and fixer) for more than a decade. For Trump, the buck never stops anywhere […]
Yes I know how you feel. You have become numb to the unending parade of scandals du jour. Who wouldn’t? Which is why it is so good for Trevor Noah to put together these helpful compilations of what we know about Donald Trump. And they are true because they come from the mouth of Trump […]
Tonight, our country goes back on “Daylight Saving Time“, with the exception of most of Arizona, Hawaii, and a number of territories (including Puerto Rico). As long-time readers know, I don’t like changing the clocks twice a year, and I wish we would just pick one time and stick with it. I don’t care if […]
Yesterday, Paul Manafort was sentenced to 47 months in jail (3 years, 11 months) on his conviction for defrauding banks and the government, and for failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars of income. Considering that prosecutors asked for a sentence of 19 to 25 years, that is quite a light sentence. Subtracting time […]
On June 13, 2018, as Donald Trump arrived home after his first summit meeting with Kim Jong Un, he tweeted: Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was […]
Ok, I admit it. Republicans have been warning us that massive election fraud is real for years. In last year’s Florida election, Donald Trump warned us that the vote count was “massively infected” with “large numbers of new ballots” showing up “out of nowhere” while other ballots were “missing or forged.” And he claimed election […]
How many layers of pretending can we put up with from our Onion in Chief? As usual, creator Jen Sorensen has good commentary to go with her comic: This cartoon was inspired by Trump’s recent Twitter explosion over Alec Baldwin’s impersonation of him on SNL. Among other things, Trump called for “retribution” and added “THE […]
Alec Baldwin on SNL is doing a better job of being Donald Trump than Trump himself does. If you don’t believe me, watch this video, also from SNL, that has actual clips of Trump from his declaration of the fake national emergency. I think we elected the wrong TV personality! Baldwin hit the nail on […]
Not to mention that these same (white) folks have committed more terrorism than any minority group. Law and order starts at home, especially if your home is espousing hatred, racism, and misogyny.
Electoral Vote has a good piece talking about the importance of Democrats taking a stand on big issues. They chastise a recent column by Chris Cizzilla titled “How Democrats are handing Donald Trump a viable path to a second term”. Cizzilla claims that it is dangerous for the Dems to support the “Green New Deal” […]
Last summer, somebody asked on Quora “Why do many British people not like Donald Trump“. They got back 43 answers. Here’s one of them: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, […]
An ironic twist in the scandal rocking Virginia governor Ralph Northam coming from a new poll. Overall, Virginians are deadlocked, with 47% saying that he should step down as governor, and 47% saying he should not (6% with no opinion). However, while 48% of whites say that Northam should resign, among blacks, only 37% want […]
An 11-year-old boy named Joshua Trump was invited by Melania Trump (no relation) to the State of the Union speech Tuesday night. He was invited because he had to drop out of school in Maryland after he was bullied about his last name. I applaud Melania for inviting him, even if it was (likely) done […]
I fully expect I’m going to get a bunch of pushback on this one. I welcome discussion about this. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is being pressured into resigning because of a photo from his 1984 yearbook, showing two people, one in blackface and one wearing a KKK costume, both holding beers. Don’t get me wrong, […]
I doubt if anyone knows how it will end. Including Donald Trump. Previously, he didn’t seem to care if they called it a wall or even something silly like “peaches“. Now he is back to insisting that everyone call it a wall again and “stop playing political games”, even though it is obvious that the […]
