Reports are circulating that Donald Trump’s top campaign staffers have cut of his Twitter access until after the election. All I can say is it is about time. Can we cut it off permanently? I think Trump + Twitter = hate crime. Of course, Trump’s campaign has denied those reports, but I see no compelling […]
At least 100 pro-Trump websites are being run from a single town in Macedonia (a little known country just north of Greece in an area called the Balkans, which is where the term Balkanization comes from). And these foreign websites are feeding false pro-Trump news to Trump supporters. How did this happen? It is all […]

Samantha Bee shows how easy it is to start a political rumor, even without any actual evidence.
Using football analogies, of course! Rednecks of all political persuasions should know that the final employment report before the election just came out, and the unemployment rate has fallen to 4.9%. Meanwhile, two top aides of Chris Christie — who is heading Trump’s transition team — were just convicted of massive corruption in causing massive […]

The Atlantic has a short, concise summary of what is going on with the FBI. You should read it. Basically, anti-Clinton insiders at the FBI, with help from the Trump campaign — including Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon — leaked information saying that an investigation into the Clinton Foundation was likely to lead to an […]

This week, yet another Trump branded and managed hotel went bankrupt. Just four years ago, Trump (and his family) cut the ribbon on the 65-story Trump International Hotel & Tower Toronto. Most of the financing for it came from a Russian-born billionaire. And now, a bunch of middle-class investors who bought condos in the tower […]

It is looking like every (living) ex-president is voting for Hillary Clinton. If you are keeping score, that’s three Democrats and two Republicans (both named Bush).
Newsweek investigated and found that Donald Trump destroyed hundreds of thousands of emails, digital records, and paper documents, including many that he was under court order to preserve. And then he lied about it. And of course, he did this to screw other people out of money. He did this over and over again. Their […]

The Democrats are starting to panic, while the Republicans are turning into sheeple and flip-flopping once again. Will it be enough to change the race? Only a few days left! Seth Meyers looks at the current state of the presidential race, with clarity and humor:

Two sources within the FBI, speaking off the record and anonymously, told Fox News that the investigation of the Clinton Foundation is likely to lead to an indictment. Considering that the FBI has no power to issue indictments (that is done by a Grand Jury), and that there is no evidence of wrongdoing with the […]

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 […]

I recently reported about the utter hypocrisy of the religious right. Here’s another blatant example:
