The Republicans just pushed through a law that will allow victims of 9/11 to sue Saudi Arabia in US courts. The law would allow courts to waive claims of foreign sovereign immunity (because terrorism). Obama vetoed it, and the Republicans swiftly overrode his veto. There’s just one huge problem. The new law will open up […]
[Jokes from Sept. 13, 2016] “Yesterday Hillary tweeted to her supporters that like anyone who’s ever been home sick from work, she’s just anxious to get back out there. Then those people said, ‘Nope, we’re pretty happy just staying home and watching Netflix.’” – Jimmy Fallon “There’s been a lot in the news about Hillary […]
According to the NY Times, in 1995 Donald Trump declared on his taxes that he lost $918 million. How can someone claim to be a good businessman when they have lost almost a billion dollars in one year? Second, because our tax code is tilted toward the rich, this almost certainly meant that Trump didn’t […]
© Tom Toles It seems pretty clear that the only way Trump knows how to win is to cheat, lie, threaten, and whine. To me, that clearly makes him a loser. If the only way an athlete could win at a sport was to break the rules, lie, and whine that he was treated unfairly […]
© Jack Ohman Donald Trump walked right into a trap set by Hillary Clinton at the debate, and now that he was caught like a deer in the headlights calling former Miss Universe Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” (both sexist and racist!), Trump can’t stop himself and is doubling and even tripling down. […]
[Jokes from Sept. 12, 2016] “This weekend Hillary Clinton called half of Trump supporters a basket of deplorables. A basket of deplorables is not only an insult, but it’s also the top-selling item at KFC.” – James Corden “Hillary Clinton upset Republicans this weekend after she accused half of Trump supporters of belonging to a […]
Maurine Dowd has a hilarious op-ed in the NY Times. Here’s just the start: LET’S stop being so hard on Donald Trump. He has done us an enormous public service. After this down-and-dirty battle of the sexes, we will never look at gender in politics the same way. For centuries, women were seen as unfit […]
© Matt Wuerker “And he’s buying the stairway to heaven”. Speaking of Trump everywhere, what do you do when someone you love becomes irrationally enamored of Trump? Read “The 7 Stages of Grief When A Loved One Supports Trump“. Remember, you are not alone.
Donald Trump promises that he will repeal Obamacare (as the Republicans have been trying to do for a while) and replace it with a new tax deduction, certain changes to insurance markets including allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines, and converting Medicaid into a federal block grant to the states. But a […]
[Jokes from Sept. 9, 2016] “Donald Trump said this week that Vladimir Putin has been a leader far more than our president has been a leader, and he’s got a point. I mean, if President Obama was as strong a leader as Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump would be dead by now. That would be the […]
© Joel Pett Didn’t want to watch the debate? Didn’t have time? Here’s all you need to know.
(Get it?) Trump claims that he won all but one of the post debate polls. Including CBS. Except, CBS didn’t do a post debate poll. You know, sometimes I think Trump lies just to see if we are paying attention. By the way, even if you are sick of news about the debate, this Colbert […]
Politico has always been a right-leaning news organization, but even they have had enough of Donald Trump: After he lied on Sept. 16 that he was not the person responsible for the birtherism campaign to delegitimize Barack Obama’s presidency, POLITICO chose to spend a week fact-checking Trump. We fact-checked Hillary Clinton over the same time. […]
After Donald Trump Jr. put his foot in it with his Skittles tweet, next we got a howler from his brother Eric Trump. Last week on Fox News, Eric claimed that his father built the Trump Organization from virtually nothing. “He’s built an amazing company. He’s become the epitome of the American dream. He’s gone […]
