Trump’s Real Debate Pivot?

Taegan Goddard has a very interesting reaction to Sunday night’s second debate. Trump didn’t try to act presidential — saying that Clinton should be thrown in jail and generally attacking her constantly. That may endear him with his base, but won’t gain him any new votes, which he desperately needs to actually win. Why is […]

On their way in, everyone in the audience had to put their keys into a tray and their deplorables into a basket.” – Jimmy Fallon “It’s been a busy week for Trump. Earlier […]

His Own Lawyers Testified that Trump Lies

In early 1990s, Donald Trump had 3 major bankruptcies: The Trump Taj Mahal Casino, Trump Plaza, and The Trump Castle. As reported by the Washington Post, these failures were largely self inflicted. Trump’s bankruptcy lawyers were Patrick McGahn and George Miller. In a 1993 bankruptcy deposition of McGahn comes the following curious exchange: Q. Did […]

Parallels?

So Melania Trump has forgiven Donald, announcing: The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me. This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation […]

Pussygate

I find it ironic that Donald Trump is suddenly being done in, not by anything related to being president (such as policies) but by the fact that he is a sexist asshole, which should have been long obvious to everyone (even if they weren’t actually paying much attention). As Jonah Goldberg put it: Donald Trump […]

Drudging through the Archives

The Drudge Report has been spreading rumors that Bill Clinton had an illegitimate child with an Arkansas prostitute. But they should have checked their own publication first. Way back in 1999, they were the publication that broke the news that a paternity test on the alleged child had turned up negative. This would not be […]

Discrimination in Action

North Carolina law HB-2 isn’t just about bathrooms and transgender people. It also allows businesses to discriminate against homosexuals. So, the Daily Show wonders what this will look like in reality. Hilarity ensues:

Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from Sept. 14, 2016] “Today Republican candidate Donald Trump decided to clear the air and reveal the results of a recent physical, on ‘The Dr. Oz Show’. Which is an interesting move. Like for Donald Trump, you know, sure, Dr. Oz is a respected doctor — you know, in the same way that Dr. […]

Not Charitable!

It turns out that when we were calling the Trump Foundation a charity, we were being extremely charitable. Because it turns out that our presidential candidate who claims to be a genius businessman didn’t even bother to file the paperwork to register the foundation as a charity. Or file any of the reports required of […]

The Wall

© Ted Rall It’s true, there are more Mexicans leaving the US than coming into it. So building a wall doesn’t make any sense at all.

Why Watch the Vice Debate?

Tuesday night is the debate of the Vice Presidential candidates: Governor Mike Pence of Indiana and Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia. Most people don’t know who these people are, but that shouldn’t deter anyone from watching them debate. First of all, if Trump is elected he would be the oldest person ever to assume the […]
