© Chan Lowe Now that Trump is the president elect, “building the wall” with Mexico has somehow stopped being mentioned at all. Trump is already breaking campaign promises, and he isn’t even president yet. But that’s not the biggest campaign promise that Trump is about to break. During the campaign, Trump promised over and over […]
[Jokes from Nov. 3, 2016] “Ted Cruz wants to make America great again. Remember the guy everyone wanted to punch in the face? He campaigned on behalf of Trump today, a man who insulted his wife and his father and his face. Back then Ted Cruz called Trump a sniveling coward, but at a rally […]
© Stuart Carlson I am becoming more and more convinced that micro-targeting of news (through AM talk radio, the internet, and especially social media) is largely to blame for the divorce of politics from reality (and consequently the election of Donald Trump). It also explains why Democrats were convinced that Hillary Clinton was about to […]
[Jokes from Nov. 2, 2016] “A new poll finds that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a statistical tie just a week from Election Day. But on the bright side, at least Trump’s finally in a tie that was made in America.” – Jimmy Fallon “Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have run national […]
Donald Trump’s choice for Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, is not only a racist, but he is absolutely against the legalization of marijuana. And as Attorney General, he would have the unilateral power to make it illegal again, even in the states that have decriminalized it. How can this be? Because there are still harsh federal […]
© Darrin Bell That’s right, Jeff Sessions was originally turned down by Republicans for a federal judgeship for being too racist. I guess that doesn’t matter anymore. Who else has Trump picked for his cabinet? In addition to racist Sessions, there is also Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (ret.) for national security advisor. Flynn is a […]
[Jokes from Nov. 1, 2016] “Donald Trump still hasn’t released his tax returns. Twelve women have accused him of sexual assault, and he’s going on trial for fraud for Trump University in November, but now the only thing the media is talking about is emails. It’s like if during the O.J. trial, everyone was focused […]
Donald Trump’s administration hasn’t even begun yet, but it is off to a bad start.
© Jen Sorensen I know I keep saying it, but the time to get our shit together is now. If there is going to be a silver lining from this election it will be because we (especially progressives) create it. We need to figure out our priorities and act on them. And we need some […]
Donald Trump campaigned that as an outsider he would “drain the swamp” of Washington politics. But he has already appointed a rogues-list of lobbyists and Washington insiders to his administration, including lobbyists from the energy, agriculture, transportation, and banking industries. Trump’s own rules for transition team members requires them to pledge to “disqualify myself from […]
[Jokes from Oct. 31, 2016] “After claiming the election is rigged, Donald Trump said at a rally last week that the country should, quote, ‘Just cancel the election and give it to Trump.’ And then on Friday, FBI director James Comey said, ‘OK.’” – Seth Meyers “On Friday, FBI Director James Comey sent a letter […]
The head of the NSA (National Security Agency) just announced that a foreign nation-state (presumably Russia) consciously targeted presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, in order to affect the US election: There shouldn’t be any doubt in anybody’s minds, this was not something that was done casually, this was not something that was done by […]
Twitter user Josh Billinson has been tweeting (short) jokes he has been making up involving Joe Biden playing pranks on Donald Trump. Here are two examples: Biden: “I left a Kenyan passport in your desk, just to fuck with him” Obama: “Joe” Biden: “Oh and a prayer rug in your bedroom. He’s gonna lose it!” […]
After the election, I heard people saying that we should give Trump a chance (including from some people who commented in this blog). I have several answers to that. First, we already know quite a bit about Trump. That he will say anything and contradict himself moments later. That he is all about revenge. That […]
[Jokes from Oct. 26, 2016] “Happy birthday to Hillary Clinton, who turned 69 years old today — while Donald Trump said, ‘The media is reporting that today is Hillary’s birthday, but a lot of people are telling me that it’s actually MY birthday. Rigged!’” – Jimmy Fallon “Today is a special day, today is Hillary […]
