Flagging Trump’s Russian Connections

On Friday, Donald Trump gave a speech at CPAC. But before Trump spoke someone wearing a suit passed out Red, White, and Blue flags with Trump’s name on them. People began waving them. Except, the colors were not in that order, they were White, Blue, and Red. Apparently unbeknown to the attendees, that is the […]

Nobody Knows

Nobody knows the reason Trump needs to lie and say stupid things so much.

Left-wing Fascists?

Speaking of Ironic Reversals, today the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) opened, and one of the first speeches tried to blame the “alt-right” on the left. The speech was made by Dan Schneider, the executive director of the the American Conservative Union, which runs the CPAC conference. The alt-right is a small, far-right movement that […]

The Best People?

During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump answered questions about his lack of experience by claiming that he would hire the best people to run his administration. But apparently, that was just another lie. We are just one month into his administration, and already he has lost a White House Communications Director, National Security Advisor, Secretary […]

The Ironic Curtain

© Jen Sorensen How long can Trump supporters keep believing the lies spewing from the right-wing media? At some point, even the right will start getting pissed off at Trump. For example, during the campaign, Trump was a font of nasty rhetoric against China, promising to label China a currency manipulator on day one (he […]

Not His Business

Nordstrom department store announced on Feb. 3 that they were dropping Ivanka Trump’s line of clothing, because it wasn’t selling well. On Feb. 8, so-called president Donald Trump tweeted: My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible! This […]

Trump’s Tax Returns

Even though Donald Trump promised to release his tax returns that were not under audit, he never did. We can easily surmise that they are full of conflicts of interest, or worse. But what we didn’t realize is that legally, Congress actually has the power to obtain individual tax returns and even disclose them publicly, […]
