© Tom Tomorrow Here’s a good theory about what is going on: It is evident that Trump has poor control of his emotions. This makes some sense; he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and has had a life full of wives, business partners, employees, television co-stars, and the like kowtowing to […]
Donald Trump was so insistent that the crowds at his inauguration were the largest since Reagan (when they were almost certainly the smallest since Reagan) that he ordered the National Park Service to produce the photos that they had taken of the inauguration. Apparently, Trump actually believed that the images would prove the media lied […]
The list of people connected to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign or to his administration that were in frequent communication with the Russians just keeps growing longer. Remember Paul Manafort, who actually worked for pro-Russian groups and then became Trump’s campaign manager? He was forced out because of that. Then there is Michael Flynn, Trump’s national […]
If there is one thing that defined Donald Trump’s campaign, it was his “America First” rhetoric. But it looks like that was just another lie. Just a few days after becoming president, Trump signed a number of executive orders. One of the first ones reversed the Obama administration’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline. […]
On Tuesday night, Donald Trump gave a speech where he succeeded in reading from a teleprompter and didn’t lie as much as he usually does. The media fawned all over it, declaring that Trump had finally pivoted into acting “presidential”. Except that early Saturday morning, less than four days later, Trump had another twitter tantrum, […]
We now know that Vice President Mike Pence routinely used an AOL email account to conduct state business when he was governor of Indiana. Seriously. Including during the campaign when he was repeatedly attacking Hillary Clinton for not using a government email account. But wait, there is a difference. While there is no evidence that […]
Amazingly, Donald Trump just made it through an entire day without lying: Donald Trump has been president for 41 days, and he finally put up a goose egg: no factual errors or misleading statements for a full day, midnight to midnight, according to The Washington Post’s great Fact Checkers, Glenn Kessler and Michelle Ye Hee […]
Trump’s National Security Advisor had to resign because he lied about contacts with the Russians. Now it looks like Trump’s Attorney General also lied about contacts with the Russians. After all the noise from Republicans about how Hillary Clinton should be in jail, not to mention impeaching Bill Clinton for lying, it will be interesting […]
Donald Trump says “Nobody knew health care could be so complicated“. Seriously? Well, John Oliver knew. And not only that, he will be happy to explain why it is so complicated. What’s really ironic is that a large part of the complications are because Republicans have been lying about the ACA for a very long […]
Donald Trump’s proposed budget will increase military spending by $54 billion, while slashing the State Department (and almost certainly lots of other things). But we already spend an insane amount of money on the military: Even without the Trump bump, that’s four times more than the #2 country. In fact, the entire world (not counting […]
If you watch Donald Trump give his speech to Congress tonight, just remember the words of Jon Stewart:
Build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants from Mexico? Block refugees from entering the US? Ban even visitors from Muslim countries? And that’s just what the Trump administration says they want to do. It doesn’t include recent incidents like the son of legendary boxing champion Muhammad Ali being detained for hours when entering the […]
Donald Trump has tweeted that he will not attend the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. Trump has not fared very well at past events, becoming the butt of too many jokes for his ego to tolerate. The last time a president skipped this dinner was back in 1981, when Ronald Reagan didn’t show up because […]
[Jokes from Jan. 30, 2017] “President Trump on Friday signed an executive order that bans citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States for 90 days, bans refugees from entering the United States for 120 days. There were demonstrations in just about every major city yesterday. People went to the airport to […]
Two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down laws against same-sex marriage as unconstitutional. Before that ruling, 36 states (plus the District of Columbia and Guam) already issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This disparity allowed scientists to study the effects of the change, and the results showed an interesting benefit. Researchers at Johns Hopkins […]
