© Chan Lowe Now that Trump is the president elect, “building the wall” with Mexico has somehow stopped being mentioned at all. Trump is already breaking campaign promises, and he isn’t even president yet. But that’s not the biggest campaign promise that Trump is about to break. During the campaign, Trump promised over and over […]

© Darrin Bell That’s right, Jeff Sessions was originally turned down by Republicans for a federal judgeship for being too racist. I guess that doesn’t matter anymore. Who else has Trump picked for his cabinet? In addition to racist Sessions, there is also Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (ret.) for national security advisor. Flynn is a […]

The Associated Press has found proof that Melania Trump worked illegally in the US as a model when she first came here on a visitor’s visa. She has maintained that she arrived in the US legally and never violated the terms of her immigration status, but that was a lie. Will people who support Trump […]

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 […]
© Matt Wuerker The George W Bush administration courted the religious right, but then pretty much ignored them. At the time I concluded that Dubya was playing the religious right for fools. But watching how the “religious” right fell in line behind Trump is changing my opinion. Just look at Trump. Can you imagine anyone […]

If anyone actually believes that sexism is not a factor in our current election, Nicholas Kristof has an article for you. All you have to do is try to imagine if the tables were turned: Imagine that Hillary Clinton had had five children by three husbands. That she thought it was ok to refer to […]

Donald Trump attempted to reset his flailing campaign today at a speech in Pennsylvania. So about the women who are accusing him of sexual misconduct he said “All of these liars will be sued.” Nevertheless, I’m willing to make a bold (and maybe crazy) prediction. I could very well be proven wrong, but I suspect […]

On a radio interview on Monday, John McCain said the following: I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up. I promise you. This is where we need the majority. That’s right, it doesn’t even matter who the nominee is, McCain […]
Politico, a fairly right-wing news source, is very worried about Trump’s new rhetoric delegitimizing the election. To the point where they are concerned that he could destroy our democracy. They are calling on top Republicans “to defend the legitimacy of the electoral system”. But will rabid Trump supporters listen to anyone other than Trump? It […]
Donald Trump takes irony and hypocrisy to a new level: Trump’s message for most of this week was that women alleging sexual assault — regardless of how many years had passed, whether they filed charges, whether their claims were held up by the courts — deserve to be heard, rather than discredited or attacked. Trump […]

I just want to pass on a Newsweek article that might not get the attention it deserves. Wednesday at one of his rallies, Trump directly passed on an email from a Russian disinformation campaign designed to manipulate the US election. It is an email that is supposedly from Clinton confidante Sidney Blumenthal (Trump’s favorite whipping […]

Here’s a quick sampling of all the late shows: Easily the best of the bunch was Trevor Noah of the Daily Show, who totally takes Trump to task: Extra bonus footage from the same show, about how Trump is frighteningly channeling his inner dictator: And as the only female on late night, Samantha Bee throws […]

So Melania Trump has forgiven Donald, announcing: The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me. This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation […]

I find it ironic that Donald Trump is suddenly being done in, not by anything related to being president (such as policies) but by the fact that he is a sexist asshole, which should have been long obvious to everyone (even if they weren’t actually paying much attention). As Jonah Goldberg put it: Donald Trump […]
