Here it is, the full compilation of every sniff from Donald Trump during the debate last night. Who’s not healthy?

© Tom Tomorrow How many people were brave enough to watch the first debate? What were your impressions? Will Trump show up for the rest of the debates? Initial surveys show that 62% of viewers felt that Clinton won compared to 27% for Trump. However, there were more Democrats watching the debate, so we will […]

Donald Trump has been trying to appeal to blacks, although for some reason he keeps doing it in front of all-white crowds (the theory being that he knows he can’t actually get any minorities to vote for him, but at least he wants his supporters to be able to think that he isn’t actually racist). […]

[Jokes from Sept. 8, 2016] “Last night was NBC’s Commander-in-Chief Forum where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump gave live back-to-back interviews about national security, and the candidates decided who would go first with a coin toss. But there was an awkward moment when Trump saw the coin, grabbed it, and put it in his pocket. […]

There seems to be a side competition going on. A few days ago, Mark Cuban tweeted: Cuban famously questioned Trump’s boasted wealth in Vanity Fair, inciting a feud between the two billionaires. Trump responded Saturday by tweeting: Flowers is a former model who had an extramarital affair with Bill Clinton in the 80s. Even though […]

© Tom Tomorrow Gotta love references to “Dr. Strangelove“. Except now the enemy are no longer communists. The media no longer report on the news. They are the news. Marshall McLuhan’s dictum that “the medium is the message” has finally become true.

There is an amazing interview of President Obama by presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in Vanity Fair. I’ll give you one extended quote from Obama, but you really should read the whole thing: Early in my presidency, I went to Cairo to make a speech to the Muslim world. And in the afternoon, after the […]

Hillary Clinton appears with Zach Galifianakis on “Between Two Ferns“: I typically don’t enjoy Zach’s show because I’m not really into humor that is designed mainly to make you feel uncomfortable. But it is still worth watching just for Hillary doing a pretty good deadpan act.

A Trump campaign county chairwoman in Ohio has resigned after an interview with The Guardian in which she said a whole bunch of ignorant racist things: She called the Black Lives Matter movement “a stupid waste of time”. She blamed low voter turnout among blacks on “the way they’re raised”. Which is strange because in […]

It looks like Donald Trump was using his Trump Foundation as a giant slush fund to pay off legal problems, buy gifts for himself or his businesses, and other non-charitable uses. So far, the Washington Post has found about a quarter of a million dollars of other people’s money (contributed by donors who thought they […]

It turns out that when Donald Trump Jr. posted a photo to Twitter comparing Syrian refugees to Skittles candy, he was posting a bowl of irony. Just to remind you, here is the original tweet: It turns out that Trump Jr. (now widely nicknamed “Skittles”) stole the image he used, so it was he who […]

No, I’m not worried about the “controversy” whether Barack Obama was born in the US. That’s an established fact. I’m worried about whether everything that Trump has said about Obama and where he was born was a blatant lie. I’m also worried whether Trump will ever make good on the $5 million he now owes […]

If I had a bowl of Skittles and I told you one was Donald Trump, would you throw the whole bowl in the garbage to make sure he never got elected? Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images Donald Trump Jr. compared Syrian refugees to Skittles, disingenuously implying that three out of a bowlful would kill you. But […]

Real life intrudes again. I will be moving to a new state over the next few weeks (and possibly to a new country if the election goes wrong). During that time, posts will probably be sporadic. Besides, I’m guessing that most people are burned out on this election. Consider this a vacation for you. Go […]

You know the old saying about “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me”. Well, it has never been so true. Last week, Donald Trump revealed his economic plan, and could you guess that it was more trickle-down economics. He is going to lower taxes on the rich dramatically, cutting the […]
