Trump's Is an Incompetent Crook – and That Makes it Worse
The mess we’re in didn’t start with IMPOTUS. The GOP and the 1% have been working for years to turn our democracy into an oligarchy where the rule of law is at best a platitude that they pay lip service to. Their plan has always been to keep the Republican party in power and keep…
Trump's Doral resort was added as finalist for G7 at the last minute
We already know that Donald Trump cheats at golf. (He cheats at life. Why wouldn’t he cheat at a game?) So it’s clearly no shocker that Trump cheats at golf resorts, too. As in, getting them added to the list of potential G7 venues at the 11th hour in order to line his greasy pockets….
2020 election shenanigans begin after GOP stooges were forced upon two of Florida's bluest counties

OMG…Did he do what I think he did? Did he just ask China and Ukraine to meddle in our elections?
I think I just heard the orange man just blow his last working brain cell if he is wanting to avoid impeachment. I think I just heard him ask Ukraine and China to investigate Biden. He just tore up the rule of law on camera and stomped the constitution. He said we have great power…
DeSantis has become the most corrupt governor in the U.S., and is desperate to save Trump

DeSantis insists that he backs Trump “100%” and has a “duty to protect…

How Trump's new, racist campaign manager found millions to blow on lavish spending sprees
Brad Parscale is Paul Manafort’s successor as Donald Trump’s campaign manager. In case you were wondering how he compares to the convicted felon, I would say there’s not much daylight between them when it comes to ethics—but with Parscale, you can add in a healthy dose of virulent racism. After all, he’s the one responsible…
