Donald Trump is the executive B.P. Richfield from the TV show “Dinosaurs”. Seriously!

The website realtruenews.org pretends to be a conservative website, but its stories are all made up. In fact, the creator of this site Marco Chacon has elevated to a high art his goal of seeing how outrageous and unbelievable he can make a story, and still fool people. He has written up fake transcripts of […]

Slate has an interesting article that asserts that more irony (at least in its original definition) may be exactly what we need to save us from people like Donald Trump. The (ironic) title of the article is “What Donald Trump Doesn’t Understand About Irony“. The article claims that irony defines what it means to be […]

The biggest loser because of the letter announcing that the FBI is looking into Clinton’s emails seems to be the man who sent the letter, FBI Director James Comey. And the criticism is non-partisan. Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics lawyer under Dubya (and needless to say a Republican), has filed a complaint against […]

We are now below rock bottom.
I recently reported about the utter hypocrisy of the religious right. Here’s another blatant example:
This blog has reported repeatedly on the Kansas Experiment. With the backing of the Koch brothers (whose headquarters is in Topeka), governor Sam Brownback, and a legislature so far right that after they got rid of most of the Democrats, they also got rid of most of the moderate Republicans, Kansas became a wet dream […]
First up is that we finally have an example of that voter fraud that Trump keeps whining about. And of course the perpetrator voted twice for (who else) Donald Trump. What’s also interesting is that this case (and two others, also both trying to benefit Trump) were caught almost immediately (showing that actual voter fraud […]
© Jen Sorensen Sorensen also has some commentary to go along with the comic: Ever since the first debate between Hillary and Trump, many have remarked on the “ugliness” of this election season. It sounds so nice and bipartisan to call them both clowns and loftily pronounce yourself to be above the fray, but this […]

I’m sure everyone heard the news that the FBI is once again looking into Hillary Clinton’s email problems. But the real question is, which news did you hear? As Wired points out, most of the reporting on this has been misleading at best. In one huge example, if you believed that the FBI was re-opening […]

Some people don’t seem to understand that freedom of speech applies to everyone, not just people they agree with. Two examples: In Colorado, a student-run high school newspaper decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president. What happened next was shocking. Local Trump supporters exploded in anger, demanding that the paper give equal space to Donald […]

High-powered lawyers like Lawrence Tribe are stepping up. Tribe and others have offered to defend — for free — anyone who has been threatened with a lawsuit by Donald Trump. This includes the women who have accused Trump of sexually assaulting them (and Trump has said he would sue after the election), but also includes […]
Recently, John McCain suggested that Republicans would block anyone Hillary Clinton attempts to appoint to the Supreme Court. Almost immediately afterward, he tried to deny that’s what he had said. But I just knew that some Republican politician would take up McCain’s idea. You know, someone a bit crazier than McCain. So it was hardly […]
© Matt Wuerker The George W Bush administration courted the religious right, but then pretty much ignored them. At the time I concluded that Dubya was playing the religious right for fools. But watching how the “religious” right fell in line behind Trump is changing my opinion. Just look at Trump. Can you imagine anyone […]
A powerful political ad created by Joss Whedon for Save the Day:
