During the Republican debate this week, Ted Cruz referred derisively to Donald Trump’s “New York Values“. So New York gave Cruz the city’s official bird: The New York Post got in a jab against Cruz as well, saying about his “New York Values” jab: That line aimed to get Iowa voters to contrast him with […]
I guess you can’t get much more odd than the current presidential candidates, so you may as well bet on the odds. And you can. For the first time ever, the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (located in Canada) is taking bets on the US presidential election. Here are the current payouts, based on a bet of […]
© Jerry Holbert This comic would be way funnier (albeit a bit more subtle) if the first panel said “I am sick of politicians being bought off by billionaires.” After all, why should billionaires go the indirect and inefficient route of bribing politicians, when they can just do whatever they want directly?
Go read Matt Taibbi’s latest column in Rolling Stone, “In the Year of Trump, the Joke Was On Us. Yes, even if you are sick and tired of reading about Trump. This isn’t about Trump, it is about us. UPDATE: If you need something lighter to read on this fine New Year’s day, I suggest […]
Salon has a great article titled “Carly Fiorina is a liar: And everyone should finally just say it — loudly“. So I am obliging them with my headline. She famously claimed to have seen a horrific video about Planned Parenthood. But when confronted by the fact that said video simply does not exist, she doubled […]
© Tom Tomorrow Transgendered liberal activist? Video of a living fetus being debrained? Pyramids are really grain silos? Unfortunately, I think Republicans have gone way beyond quantum mechanics and into quantum fantasy, where Republicans can believe multiple contradictory things at the same time, and people are losers just because someone said they are.
Last week, the New York Times ran an opinion piece headlined “Anyone but Ted Cruz“. It is widely known that Cruz is utterly despised in Congress. Maybe it is because of things he has done, like when “He likened Senate Republicans who recognized the impossibility of defunding Obamacare to Nazi appeasers.” Cruz tries to spin […]
One of my favorite reporters, Matt Taibbi, has a great article in Rolling Stone, titled “America Is Too Dumb for TV News“. The article (and I highly recommend you read it) discusses how Trump has finally trumped reality. Even in the age of video on everyone’s phone and the Internet, Trump can largely get away […]
© 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 […]
Meanwhile, the GOP is all over the place trying to come up with a debate format that works for them. Unfortunately, they seem to think that the debate is for the candidates. Silly Republicans, debates are for voters. And here’s the debate format that would really increase the ratings and bring in the money. And […]
Barack Obama made fun of the Republican candidates for president, saying that these would-be tough guys can’t even handle a bunch of CNBC moderators. During a fundraiser, Obama said: Have you noticed that every one of these candidates says, ‘Obama’s weak. Putin’s kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he’s going to […]
© Tom Toles Mission Accomplished? Now the only question is, how long will Jeb hang on in the race?
© Matt Wuerker Are voters finally getting tired of Donald Trump? It was fun while it lasted, but it might have just been a summer fling. UPDATE: During Trump’s presidential announcement speech, he attacked the performance of the US economy under president Obama, saying, “The last quarter, it was just announced, our gross domestic product […]
Steven Colbert, who played himself acting like a conservative for years, banters with Hillary Clinton, who once upon a time (in college) was president of the Young Republicans chapter.
