Foxsplaining Obamagate

Desi Lydic watches Fox News for 48 hours and then Foxsplains “Obamagate” on The Daily Show. It all makes sense to me now! For those who don’t like to watch Fox News, here’s a slightly different explanation of Obamagate:

Helen Philpot is back!

I admit it, I love Margaret and Helen. But I was getting worried as there had been no posts since March. Finally, last week we got a wonderful new post from Helen. You should go read it. I’m not going to post the whole thing, because they should get lots of money from the ads […]

The Crime and the Coverup

Direct quotes from the whistleblower memo: I have received information from multiple U.S. Government officials that the President of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election. The interference includes, among other things, pressuring a foreign country to investigate one of […]

Reddit /r/PoliticalHumor

A few things from Reddit’s political humor channel: Of course, now even Trump admits that he talked to the president of the Ukraine about investigating Biden. But the White House continues to claim that a sitting president not only cannot be prosecuted, they cannot even be investigated. If the president is completely above the law, […]

Mueller Time

If you are looking for a straightforward article that sums up Robert Mueller’s report and William Barr’s somewhat disingenuous interpretations of it, you can hardly do better than this article in Politico. I find it very sad that the office of Attorney General of the US has become completely politicized. The Attorney General is supposed […]

Pretend-Meta-Pretend

How many layers of pretending can we put up with from our Onion in Chief? As usual, creator Jen Sorensen has good commentary to go with her comic: This cartoon was inspired by Trump’s recent Twitter explosion over Alec Baldwin’s impersonation of him on SNL. Among other things, Trump called for “retribution” and added “THE […]

What’s in a name?

An 11-year-old boy named Joshua Trump was invited by Melania Trump (no relation) to the State of the Union speech Tuesday night. He was invited because he had to drop out of school in Maryland after he was bullied about his last name. I applaud Melania for inviting him, even if it was (likely) done […]

Running Government like a Business

Politicians who come from the business world like to claim that they are going to “run the government like a business”. There are two problems with this: The first is that running a business is nothing like running a government. If you doubt this, just do a search for “why government should not be run […]

Pardon Me!

Kate McKinnon (as Wilbur Ross) and Steve Martin (as Roger Stone!) are both absolutely hilarious in last night’s SNL cold open:

Trump Chickens Out

Today, on the 35th day of the shutdown, Donald Trump announced a temporary reopening of the government for three weeks. And no, he didn’t get any funding for the wall. He totally caved. Why? Could it be because he already lost a handful of Republican Senators, who yesterday voted against Trump as a warning shot […]

Welcome to the Idiocracy

On Friday there was an Indigenous Peoples March at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. A group of teenagers surrounded a Native American elder. What happened was captured on video, and you can see one teen blocking the man’s path, and other teens laughing, jumping around, and mocking the marchers. But here’s the really ironic […]

We Should Hope Trump is a Russian Agent

An article in Wired magazine points out that, while the idea that Donald Trump has been compromised by the Russian government and is purposely acting as their agent is horrible enough, the alternative is even worse. The pattern of his pro-Putin, pro-Russia, anti-FBI, anti-intelligence community actions are so one-sided, and the lies and obfuscation surrounding every […]
