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 […]
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:
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 […]
© 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.
John Oliver brilliantly takes Trump to task for his self-proclaimed winning temperament and for quoting bogus polls:
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 […]
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 […]
© 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. […]

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 […]
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. […]
© 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
