I haven’t been watching Stephen Colbert as much as I used to, as he seems to have lost some of his biting wit when he lost his live audience due to the pandemic. But last night’s monologue hit the ball out of the court. Colbert is angry, and he goes on a 15-minute rant that […]
The Hatch Act is a law from 1939, which prohibits federal employees from political campaigning on the taxpayer’s dime. That means not on government time, nor using government property. The POTUS and Vice President are explicitly exempted from the law, but no other federal employees are allowed to participate along with them. Which brings us […]
Republicans on Fox News are downplaying Biden’s speech, saying that any idiot can read a speech off a teleprompter. I guess Donald Trump doesn’t qualify as even an idiot. Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump (who is a “senior advisor” in the administration) told NBC News that the president will be part of the GOP convention “every […]
I love this segment from Trevor Noah, pointing out the hypocrisy of conservative blowhards who question whether Kamala Harris is “black enough”.
The final report of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Russian interference in the 2016 election has been released. Even the public redacted version “confirms that Donald Trump and his campaign operatives solicited, welcomed and benefited from Russian assistance.” “The report also details extensive evidence of contacts between Trump campaign operatives and people tied to the […]
Donald Trump’s attempt to throw the election by destroying the US Post Office is already backfiring. Here are articles from a number of key swing states: Arizona Republic: “Postal Service warns 46 states about ballot delays” Miami Herald: “USPS warns Florida some of its mail ballots could be rejected” Tampa Bay Times: “Mail-in votes are […]
Donald Trump has nothing left to run his campaign on, except fear and hatred. As they say, will he be able to fool America twice? If he does, then shame on us. The New York Times points out the dystopian nature of our current administration: President Trump, of course, long ago redefined what constitutes normal […]
In only took a couple of days for Donald Trump to start spreading rumors that Kamala Harris does not meet the constitutional qualifications to be Vice President (and President for that matter). You know, like he did about Barack Obama during Obama’s presidency. He is so predictable. I guess in Trump’s deranged racist brain, if […]
There are two good articles out recently, detailing exactly how Donald Trump screwed up the response to the Coronavirus, and his staff enabled him. You may think you already know all about that, but it is interesting to see it all laid out for you. In Slate, “The Trump Pandemic, A blow-by-blow account of how […]
Only Donald Trump could lose an argument with himself. This takeoff is a heavily modified version of the disaster of an interview that Trump did with Jonathan Swan of Axios, which was shown Monday on HBO. The entire interview is around 30 minutes long, but is still full of cringe worthy moments. Or if you […]
That’s right, 4 cases of voter fraud found in the 2016 election. Out of around 129 million votes cast. That’s 0.000003 percent. Ten times more people die from lightning (43/year). A whopping 150,000 people (and rising) have died from the coronavirus this year. And that’s before we open schools and make things far worse.
Bill Barr, who is supposedly the US Attorney General but acts like Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer, testified under oath to Congress on Tuesday. Here’s a list of lies and stupid things he said: Could not answer whether the President has the power to move the date of the election (he doesn’t) Wouldn’t acknowledge […]
Trump is a bully, but when you stand up to him, he backs down like the loser he is. Just this week, he’s retreated several times: He insisted that Congress cut payroll taxes, but his own party members in the Senate said no. Probably because Trump would have benefited more from such a tax cut […]
The Trump campaign is running this ad on Facebook: The image on the right is labeled “Chaos & Violence”, meant to invoke the protests against police brutality that have been going on around the US. As I like to say, there’s just one problem. That photo is not from the US. It is a photo […]
White House adviser (and white nationalist) Stephen Miller’s grandmother has died from the coronavirus this month. Miller’s uncle (son of the grandmother) said that the Trump administration is partly responsible for her death because of their incompetent handling of the pandemic. In response, the White House issued a statement denying that Miller’s grandmother died from […]
