Donald Trump once said he’d get 95 percent of the black vote when he ran for reelection. I’m thinking no. A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll also tells a completely different story. Go figure: While personally optimistic about their own lives, black Americans today offer a bleaker

You all remember that time Barack Obama wore a tan suit, right? It was the most undignified thing a president had ever done or ever would do. Well, conservatives, who apparently are only concerned with textile-related vulgarities, are at it again. After whining about the
To all those Republican Senators stating that they won’t consider any new documents or witness testimony, simply ask: So, if we learn of new evidence that exonerates President Trump, you will fight and vote to make sure that the Senate can’t consider such evidence? That is
