Donald Trump campaigned that as an outsider he would “drain the swamp” of Washington politics. But he has already appointed a rogues-list of lobbyists and Washington insiders to his administration, including lobbyists from the energy, agriculture, transportation, and banking industries. Trump’s own rules for transition team members requires them to pledge to “disqualify myself from […]
Twitter user Josh Billinson has been tweeting (short) jokes he has been making up involving Joe Biden playing pranks on Donald Trump. Here are two examples: Biden: “I left a Kenyan passport in your desk, just to fuck with him” Obama: “Joe” Biden: “Oh and a prayer rug in your bedroom. He’s gonna lose it!” […]
Garrison Keillor says “Trump voters will not like what happens next“. Here are a few short quotes so you will go read the whole thing: The Trumpers never expected their guy to actually win the thing, and that’s their problem now. They wanted only to whoop and yell, boo at the H-word, wear profane T-shirts, […]
Jon Stewart joins Stephen Colbert along with other special guest stars to musically induce you to vote. It is hilarious.
Reports are circulating that Donald Trump’s top campaign staffers have cut of his Twitter access until after the election. All I can say is it is about time. Can we cut it off permanently? I think Trump + Twitter = hate crime. Of course, Trump’s campaign has denied those reports, but I see no compelling […]
Using football analogies, of course! Rednecks of all political persuasions should know that the final employment report before the election just came out, and the unemployment rate has fallen to 4.9%. Meanwhile, two top aides of Chris Christie — who is heading Trump’s transition team — were just convicted of massive corruption in causing massive […]
Newsweek investigated and found that Donald Trump destroyed hundreds of thousands of emails, digital records, and paper documents, including many that he was under court order to preserve. And then he lied about it. And of course, he did this to screw other people out of money. He did this over and over again. Their […]
The Democrats are starting to panic, while the Republicans are turning into sheeple and flip-flopping once again. Will it be enough to change the race? Only a few days left! Seth Meyers looks at the current state of the presidential race, with clarity and humor:
Slate has an interesting article that asserts that more irony (at least in its original definition) may be exactly what we need to save us from people like Donald Trump. The (ironic) title of the article is “What Donald Trump Doesn’t Understand About Irony“. The article claims that irony defines what it means to be […]
I recently reported about the utter hypocrisy of the religious right. Here’s another blatant example:
© Jen Sorensen Sorensen also has some commentary to go along with the comic: Ever since the first debate between Hillary and Trump, many have remarked on the “ugliness” of this election season. It sounds so nice and bipartisan to call them both clowns and loftily pronounce yourself to be above the fray, but this […]
High-powered lawyers like Lawrence Tribe are stepping up. Tribe and others have offered to defend — for free — anyone who has been threatened with a lawsuit by Donald Trump. This includes the women who have accused Trump of sexually assaulting them (and Trump has said he would sue after the election), but also includes […]
© 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 […]
Mother Jones came across something that (at least to me) not-so-neatly sums up Donald Trump. The occasion was the 2009 death of Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, who died of a seizure while on vacation with his parents. Trump decided to offer his condolences. His first mistake […]
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 […]
