© Tom Tomorrow How will this end? The Atlantic has an interesting article that compares the likely coming fall of Donald Trump to a Shakespearean play (namely, the “Scottish play”). A tragedy, or as Trump would say, “SAD!”

When Donald Trump was running for president, he promised that he would “surround myself only with the best and most serious people”. Hilariously, he even said that they would be “top-of-the-line professionals.” But let’s look at the people that Trump with whom has actually surrounded himself. And I’m not going to count porn stars and […]
This powerful article, written by Katherine Fugate, speaks the truth about how we all have the ability to fight racism and xenophobia. If you are concerned about the current level of racism in this country, I recommend you read it. And I’ll throw in a comic about racism just for fun: © Brian McFadden
I know it has been a while, but I just wanted to give a heads up that I might resume posting a bit before the midterm elections. As I’ve said before, I’m not really upset at Donald Trump. I mean, he is who he is and he doesn’t even hide the fact that he is […]

SNL doesn’t pull any punches!
© Steve Kelly How much bad news can we take? Either caused by man or nature? Meanwhile, I had hope that we had heard the last from Michele Bachmann when she lost her seat in Congress, but then Donald Trump decided to become the first sitting president in history to talk at the Values Voter […]
© Ruben Bolling This comic is brilliant. I just hope he does more like it. For example, how Republicans are repeatedly and desperately looking for election fraud for which there is absolutely no evidence of existence in order to make it much harder for poor people and students to vote. At the same time ignoring […]

[from Margaret and Helen] Margaret, last week six football players knelt during the national anthem. This week it was 200. And just like Colin Kaepernick, they weren’t making a statement about the flag. I swear this president is so stupid, he couldn’t find his ass if both hands were in his back pockets. Lord help […]

© Tom Tomorrow According to the Fact Checker at the Washington Post, Donald Trump has made 1,318 false or misleading claims over 263 days. How’s that for material? I don’t think I could lie that much even if I tried. Really hard.
© Ruben Bolling Leave it to America. In the wake of the Las Vegas massacre, when the news came out that the shooter had used “bump-stock” devices to turn semi-automatic rifles into effectively automatic weapons (like assault weapons), how did America respond? By buying more bump-stocks. Sales of these devices has spiked, and in some […]
