These are gobsmacking, jaw-dropping numbers, and they tend to make me think Jim Jones and David Koresh were underachievers. Wow. I mean, WOW. These people are kookaburra cray-cray devotees of Cocoa Puffs. CBS News: Republicans see an America — to borrow Ronald Reagan’s famous test — better off today than it was four years ago, mainly, they say,…

Trump's Egomaniacal Plot to Upstage the Democratic National Convention
There is nothing that irritates Donald Trump more than when he is not the center of attention. His malignant narcissism kicks in bigly if something in the news cycle is deemed more important than his promulgation of lies, undeserved boasts, infantile insults, or relentless hostility and petulant whining. After all, this is the man-baby who…
Pence says Trump created more jobs in three months than Obama did in eight years … uh, what?
Does this kind of argument work with anyone? The guy whose administration has overseen the destruction of millions of total jobs is bragging about the number of jobs created in the past three months. Interesting that he said “three” and not “four.” Wonder why that would be. Oh, I see now. Because we lost 20.8 million…
KY, SC & ME-Sen: GOPers Who Denounced Obama's “Executive Overreach” Are Now Praising Trump
Ok, so we know about Trump’s “executive order” on the coronavirus stimulus relief package: President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders Saturday in an effort to bypass congressional negotiations and extend financial relief to tens of millions of Americans during the coronavirus pandemic. One order would extend enhanced unemployment benefits at a reduced rate of $400 per…
Trump promises new Iran deal 'within four weeks' … if he's reelected
President Vaporware is at it again. As with the “great” health care plan he assured us would replace Obamacare “immediately”; the elimination of the entire national debt in eight years; the big, beautiful wall Mexico was supposed to pay for; and a newly great America that never quite seemed to materialize, Trump is digging in his front…
HYPOCRITE TRUMP Rips Obama's Executive Orders as 'Major Power Grabs of Authority'
Nobody is surprised anymore by the rank hypocrisy of Donald Trump and his sociopathic aversion to the ethical principles that most Americans hold dear. He has repeatedly revealed himself to be utterly devoid of the personal qualities that define human interactions: goodwill, empathy, charity, and compassion. In his world there is only Trump and what's…
Reporter confronts Trump over lie he's told more than 150 times; pr*sident walks off in a huff
I don’t know why this hasn’t been happening for five years now, but thank you, thank you, thank you Paula Reid. I’m sure you’ve heard the one about Donald Trump passing the Veterans Choice Act, which no other president could do for 50 years except, it turns out, Barack Obama, who actually signed it in 2014….
CRYBABY TRUMP Runs to Fox News Following His Latest Media Fiascoes
The flop sweat gushing from Donald Trump is flowing like a tsunami the closer we get to Election Day. His polling continues to languish near historic lows for both reelection and job approval. And even his traditional allies are politically distancing from him for fear of being swept away themselves. it's a downward spiral that…
Sen. Rick Scott: Democrats don't care about people because 'they' keep increasing the debt
And here I thought Republicans wouldn’t rediscover the debt until a Democrat was back in the White House. Looks like they’re ahead of schedule. After Senate Republicans let the House-passed HEROES act — which would have provided further stimulus for the economy and cash for our most vulnerable workers — languish on the shelf since — uh,…
SC-Sen: Morning Consult Poll Has Harrison (D) & Graham (R) Tied, Trump With Just A 5 Point Lead
Some very big news today out of South Carolina: South Carolina’s 2020 U.S. Senate race is neck-and-neck with just three months to go until Election Day, as Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison’s well-funded campaign appears to have significantly narrowed the gap against Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

The Juggler
A few weeks ago I wrote a piece warning the American people to keep their eyes on the juggler, not the balls in the air. Yesterday, on the day the nation buried one of its voter rights heroes, Rep. John Lewis, Donald Trump tossed an ornate ball in the air. On the streamer was a…
NY Daily News front page contrasts pouty Trump with grown-up past presidents
This pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? From today’s New York Daily News cover story: One by one, former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton stood tall Thursday at the Atlanta funeral of civil rights icon John Lewis, honoring the life and legacy of the fearless Congressional veteran. And in Washington, current…
YES!!!! Bernie Sanders Joins Obama's Call To Abolish The Filibuster!!!
THANK YOU!!! x President Obama is absolutely right. It is an outrage that modern-day poll taxes, gerrymandering, I.D. requirements, and other forms of voter suppression still exist today. If expanding the Voting Rights Act requires us to eliminate the filibuster, then that is what we must do. https://t.co/4pLb1rZCSj— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) July 30, 2020 Sen….
In His Eulogy For John Lewis, Pres. Obama Calls For Abolishing The Filibuster To Pass Voting Laws
Hell yeah: Former President Barack Obama called to eliminate the legislative filibuster “if that's what it takes” to pass new federal voting laws in honor of the late John Lewis at Lewis' memorial service on Thursday. Obama praised Lewis' record securing key voting rights victories, including the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and…
Is it rude to throw this quote from Trump's 2015 campaign launch back in his face?
I vividly remember Donald Trump’s campaign kickoff speech at Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 — a day which will live in imbecility. I recall that Trump seemed congenitally incapable of telling the truth, rode an escalator as part of what appeared to be some sort of shambolic, improptu comedy bit, and, of course, claimed Mexico was…
Trump's Dementia is on Vivid Display in Sunday Twitter Tantrum
There is nothing that Donald Trump likes better than to childishly insult his critics and political opponents. With regard to Joe Biden, that has included numerous references to mental stability and fitness for office. Unfortunately for Trump, the American people have thoroughly rejected his claims and, even worse, believe that Trump is the one with…
'He can't relate in any way': Obama and Biden critique Trump in new campaign video
The Biden campaign is set to drop a new campaign video tomorrow in which Joe sits down with his former boss Barack Obama and dishes on the dipshit. According to Axios, the two discuss “systemic racism, the coronavirus pandemic and President Trump’s handling of those issues.” Here’s a teaser clip: BIDEN: “Can you imagine standing…
