Spreading Lies

Donald Trump not only lies constantly, he even tries to convince other world leaders to lie for him. But it looks like this is (finally!) catching up with him. The latest polls show that even among his base, support for Trump is starting to crumble. What’s really ironic is that Trump’s approval rating is sinking […]

Wanted: Another Failure to Communicate

© Jack Ohman Unfortunately, this comic left off the current leading candidate for the position of White House communications director, which of course would be Donald Trump himself. Trump obviously wants the job. In fact, it seems to be the only job he actually likes and spends any of his time at. Negotiating treaties? Boring. […]

A Little Chaos

The Pardonizer in Chief

© Tom Tomorrow I suspect that sometime in the near future, Donald Trump is going to try to pardon someone he shouldn’t, and all hell will break loose. My only question is whether when that happens, will the Republicans stand up to Trump, or will they roll over?

What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate!

Donald Trump is replacing everyone in the White House who is not his relative with really bad caricatures from B-movies. Either that, or some horrific reality show where they really do kill people. Kudos to the NY Post for actually running this cover and tweeting “In the latest episode of ‘White House Survivor’, the West […]

Innocent of Information

Conservative George Will has a lovely and hilarious opinion piece in the Washington Post. I really do recommend that you go read the whole thing, but I’ll include a few paragraphs to entice you. One warning: you will probably need a dictionary. Will’s claim is that Donald Trump is actually something that the nation did […]

Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do?

© Ruben Bolling Remember, it isn’t a crime when the president does it, or someone does it for him. I have a theory about this, I call it the “good/bad syndrome”. It is the idea that there are two types of people: good guys and bad guys. It doesn’t matter what anyone does. If they […]

Meaningful Information

Does anyone else get the creeps as much as I do when watching Kellyanne Conway speak?

Smoking Guns and Treason

Trump and his campaign originally (repeatedly) denied that the Russians interfered in our presidential election, but under mounting evidence of Russian hacking, they eventually admitted that the Russians did interfere, but that there was no collusion between the Russians and Trump or his campaign. Well, that was a lie too. It turns out that last […]

The Founding Tweets

For 29 years, NPR has read aloud the Declaration of Independence on Independence Day, but this year they did something new, and apropos. They tweeted the entire text of the DoI, 140 characters at a time. That took 113 posts. It went about as well as might be expected. Many people who tuned in late […]

Who Knew?

© Ruben Bolling Finally, we have an answer to the question of how Donald Trump inspires so many followers. It doesn’t matter to them when he lies, commits nepotism, hires crooks to his administration, insults women, or acts racist, because only they know the real truth about how Trump is keeping us safe.

Game Over

There’s something that has been keeping me up at night thinking. Let me walk you through it. Donald Trump has been claiming over and over that reports of Russian interference in the presidential election are “fake news”. He, and other members of his staff have also been claiming that, even if the Russians did interfere, […]

The Cabinet of Honesty

© Tom Tomorrow I like the electoral college maps in the background. Will the voters in this country wake up someday and realize what an absolutely colossal mess they got us into? Or will they be so embarrassed that we will never admit their folly? Or asking the same question in a completely different way, […]

Communicator in Chief?

© Jim Morin Despite Donald Trump tweeting “I am being investigated” this week, one of his lawyers is saying that Trump is not under investigation and blames the media. So, who are we to believe? UPDATE: Speaking of bad communication, when the House first passed the AHCA, Trump and the Republicans praised the bill. Just […]

Kissing Trump’s Ass

© Michael Andrew Donald Trump held his first full cabinet meeting, and of course he started it off by praising himself and castigating the Democrats and calling them names. But then he did something that chilled me to the bone. One after another, he had his cabinet members sing his praises, like he was some […]
