I applaud Paul Ryan’s speech today, where he pledges to “put together a complete alternative to the left’s agenda” over the coming year. Ok, I admit it, I really want to see what the Republican agenda is. For too long, their agenda has been to oppose everything Obama favors (even when it is something the […]
© Ruben Bolling Rubio got it half right. It is a clash alright, but a clash of religions, and certainly not of “civilizations”. You can’t have a civilization if you aren’t civil! But Rubio has said something even scarier. He believes that “God’s rules” overrule the Supreme Court and laws given to us by Congress. […]
© Tom Toles The GOP is launching an all out war on Donald Trump. Remember “Bush’s Brain” Karl Rove? He arranged a meeting between the top fundraisers for Ben Carson and casino mogul Steve Wynn, who as sometimes battled Trump in the business world. While past attacks from the GOP establishment against Trump have often […]
When Seth Meyers does a much better job of exposing the embarrassment that is Donald Trump, using Trump’s own words: I’m wondering if Trumps supporters are finally getting tired of him, or if nothing he says can sway them. When does the next poll come out? UPDATE: Great timing! A new poll just came out, […]
© Lalo Alcaraz Also, commentary by Lalo Alcaraz: I have mixed feelings on the Syrian refugee crisis. Of course, we know that Republicans are turning a well established US refugee program into a political football by playing on terrorism fears and anti-Muslim fervor. On the other hand, our people have not fared well early on […]
Donald Trump is still claiming (loudly and repeatedly, of course) that he personally saw “thousands and thousands of people” in Jersey City, NJ cheering in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. This despite the fact that multiple fact checking services have called him a liar over it, and even the police have denied it ever […]
On Saturday, Democrat John Bel Edwards won a runoff election and was elected governor of Louisiana. Why is this newsworthy? Because he is the first Democrat elected to a statewide office there since 2008. His opponent was David Vitter, who has been plagued by scandals. Why wasn’t current governor Bobby Jindal in the race? Because […]
© Nick Anderson Yeah, thanks GOP for keeping America safe. not. I love how the right manages to remain reality-free. The latest news is that conservatives are threatening to move to Canada if the US takes in Syrian refugees. I guess nobody told them.
Can you tell the difference between a Daesh terrorist and a Syrian Refugee. It isn’t that difficult! © Jen Sorensen In the wake of the Paris attacks, we are scared shitless of the Syrian refugees, even though these are the people who are trying to escape Daesh. Besides, all the Paris terrorists had European passports. […]
I keep thinking this is obvious, but then something like the (latest) massacres in Paris happen and our reaction shows that we just don’t get it. The point is: Islamic radicals want us to hate Muslims. It is their best recruiting tool ever. An article in The Washington Post spells it out: This is precisely […]
© Ruben Bolling This comic is brilliant. And it doesn’t even mention the military propaganda pre-game shows that are paid for by the military using your tax dollars. Or the sports stadiums that are heavily subsidized by local governments (when those same local governments were broke). It also doesn’t mention that conservatives seem to love […]
Rupert Murdoch (the dark lord of Fox News) tweeted the following: Obama facing enormous opposition in accepting refugees. Maybe make special exception for proven Christians. Seriously? Proven Christians? Of course, the best part is all the responses to his tweet. Here are just a few: ‘proven’ Christians. Lolz. Some sort of bible quiz on the […]
You really should go read a stunning article in Politico Magazine, which interviewed all living former CIA directors and other intelligence officers to answer the question “Did the Bush administration know that an attack was coming?”. And according to the CIA, the answer is an unequivocal yes. Not only did Dubya and his administration not […]
A woman in Massachusetts won the right to wear a colander on her head in her driver’s license photo: Lindsay Miller is a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Also known as Pastafarians, members are encouraged to wear a colander in official identification photos as a public expression of their belief. I […]
I’ve complained about “dark money” – unlimited money coming from 501(c)(4) and 501(c)(6) organizations that don’t have to disclose their donors, and who can use that money for political campaigns. Because they don’t have to disclose their donors, their money can come from foreign enemies, even criminal or terrorist organizations. Well, it is getting worse. […]
