Holy Freedom Fries! France is currently in the middle of of their presidential election, and it is full of drama. The conservative front-runner was recently implicated in a corruption scandal, which has created openings both on the far right (nativist Marine Le Pen) and the left (radical centrist Emmanuel Macron). But voters are unhappy. And […]
On Friday, Donald Trump gave a speech at CPAC. But before Trump spoke someone wearing a suit passed out Red, White, and Blue flags with Trump’s name on them. People began waving them. Except, the colors were not in that order, they were White, Blue, and Red. Apparently unbeknown to the attendees, that is the […]
Private, for-profit prisons have failed. They cost taxpayers more than public prisons, are less safe for prisoners (the one private prison in Idaho has 4 times the number of prisoner-on-prisoner assaults than the seven public prisons in the state combined), have had repeated scandals (including one where judges were bribed by the prisons in exchange […]
Nobody knows the reason Trump needs to lie and say stupid things so much.
Speaking of Ironic Reversals, today the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) opened, and one of the first speeches tried to blame the “alt-right” on the left. The speech was made by Dan Schneider, the executive director of the the American Conservative Union, which runs the CPAC conference. The alt-right is a small, far-right movement that […]
I guess 1984 just happened 33 years late. Because, evidently, now 2 + 2 = 5. © Jen Sorensen
I have not been comfortable in the role of making fun of everything Trump does. After all, one of the main things I’ve been complaining about is the Republican Party being the “party of no” — opposing pretty much everything Obama ever did or said. So it is with great relief that I have TWO […]
[Jokes from Jan. 25, 2017] “President Trump has called for an investigation into voter fraud during the presidential election. Trump said, ‘I mean for God’s sake, look who they chose!’” – Conan O’Brien “Tonight President Trump continued with his mysterious and puzzling claim that voter fraud cost him the popular vote in the election. He […]
the House Committee on Oversight and Government is in charge of looking into legal and ethical problems in the federal government. During the Obama administration, they were relentless in its investigations of Hillary Clinton. First on her role in Benghazi, and then on her use of a private email server. None of these investigations ever […]
During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump answered questions about his lack of experience by claiming that he would hire the best people to run his administration. But apparently, that was just another lie. We are just one month into his administration, and already he has lost a White House Communications Director, National Security Advisor, Secretary […]
[Jokes from Jan. 24, 2017] “The number one thing on Donald Trump’s mind right now is the election in November. He says that 3 million to 5 million illegal voters cost him the popular vote. There doesn’t seem to be any evidence to support this belief but that doesn’t matter.” – Jimmy Kimmel “President Trump […]
This image has been running around the innertubes ever since the election, equally popular on both liberal and conservative websites: I especially love the description, but I don’t know if they spelled “marshmallow” wrong on purpose. After all, I wouldn’t describe Trump as “mellow”. In case there is any doubt, Snopes says that it is […]
[Jokes from Jan. 23, 2017] “The Women’s March in Washington was on Saturday, and it had three times as many people as Trump’s inauguration. When he was told there were hundreds of thousands of women outside the White House, Trump said, ‘Wow, this Trump cologne REALLY WORKS.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Over the weekend, 750,000 protesters […]
I’m sure most people have heard about Trump’s first solo press conference on Thursday, but Seth Meyers has a good take on it: At what point does it become too painful for Trump supporters to hear what keeps coming out of his mouth. Or have they already stopped listening?
© Ruben Bolling Well, at least we dumped Andy Puzder as Secretary of Labor. Even Republicans thought he was a very bad idea.
