By Martin Coulter and Greg Bensinger LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) – Alphabet Inc lost $100 billion in market value on Wednesday after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video and a company event failed to dazzle, feeding worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival...
Coulter
Right-wing provocateur and author Ann Coulter, in 2017, told the world, “In 20 years, Russia will be the only country that is recognizably European.” Coulter was not trying to be vague or cute; she pointedly said that white culture, however you define it, is worth accepting authoritarianism, murder, and fascism,...
Hearts are not had as a gift, but hearts are earned By those that are not entirely beautiful. These are some lines from one my favorite poems, “A Prayer for My Daughter,” by one of my all-time favorite poets, William Butler Yeats. They came to mind this morning as we...
The sponsors of campus speakers like Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos, Young America’s Foundation took on Pete Buttigieg, thinking that they were delivering trenchant criticism. Instead, they’ve revived the critical history of urban planning and design, now articulated by the Trump-jungend. Anyone who’s encountered urban elevated highways has experienced the social divisions...
Ann Coulter tells Texas crowd “a second term of Trump would have killed us”: “I'm glad he lost” “It's like he didn't know he was president..” He didn’t. These remain dangerous times, but they will get better. Looking back will always bring salty tears. x Robbie Kaplan, my attorney, is the woman who's going to make...
Hell has officially frozen over: x The lovely Amy McGrath is a Marine Corps veteran. The average donation to her campaign is $36. Mitch McConnell is a broken-down old man owed by cheap labor lobbyists.#DefeatMcConnellâ Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 10, 2020 On Friday afternoon, conservative commentator Ann Coulter made news...
Trump’s information warfare is nothing if but consistent, but he’s now pushed some of his opportunistic brood of RW pundits to the brink of disassociation because the 2020 outcome is in jeopardy. x Re Trump's crazed tweets suggesting @JoeNBC is complicit in murder, our book “Donald Trump and His Assault...
I know I’ve written about it a lot but it’s still my top issue and while tonight’s debate was horribly moderated, but Pod Save America said it best about tonight’s debate: x Warren is right on the filibuster. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/scUy3EwdIcâ Pod Save America (@PodSaveAmerica) February 26, 2020 I’m very happy...
For some Trumpers, not even the spawn is racist enough for some of its followers in 2020. Still early days, but Trumpism may be in the beginning stages of base fracturing among its Christian nationalists and its GOP conservatives primarily on how racist they should be. No Night of the Long Knives...
You have so totally lost. For those of you not keeping up with the anorexic sewer system that is Ann Coulter, it seems that Ms. Fascist Political Bomb Thrower is not up to her job, which is at least keeping up with who’s who in D.C. It all started with a...
On her eponymous podcast today, Laura Ingraham turned the racism up to 11. And it got stuck there. And now she’s just Ann Coulter roughly two minutes before she was skeletonized by piranhas. Ingraham was talking about reparations and it got a little, well, weird. And by “weird” I mean horrifyingly...
Appears that the grifter Ann Coulter is persona non grata with Trump supporters. “It’s frustrating,” Coulter said at a luncheon in Florida, according to the Palm Beach Post. “I can’t talk to Trump detractors because, as the subtitle to my last book indicated, they’re insane. I can’t talk to the Trump flatterers...
Put away your sunscreen, I ain’t gonna be blowing any sunshine up your ass today. Right now everybody is all up in arms over His Lowness’ bogus national emergency declaration, and with good reason, although the court resolution will likely stretch beyond the end of his first (and hopefully only)...
Yep. This pretty much says it all: x being a bad negotiator is not a national emergency — Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) February 14, 2019 Shaub was the director of the Office of Government Ethics during the Obama administration, and he’s been outspoken about Trump’s glaring lack of ethics — namely...
Apparently it’s all over but the shouting. Fittingly enough, the final capitulation came not from The Pampers President himself, but instead from Ditch Mitch “No show votes” McConnell, who stated that the Senate would move quickly to vote on the compromise border security bill, and to say “Gee whiz, I shore...
NY Times “Alexandre Bissonnette, a 29-year-old former politics student fixated on President Trump, the far right and Muslims, was sentenced on Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 40 years for shooting six people dead in an attack on a mosque in Quebec City in January...
I freely admit to NOT looking at right wing propaganda outlets, but I got curious what others besides Ann Coulter were saying about Trump’s capitulation on the government shutdown and his precious fuckin’ wall. And lo and behold, I found comedy gold from Bill O’Reilly. But first, let’s get the...
I could post the entire transcript of Donald Trump’s Rose Garden address, but what’s the point? It all boils down to this: “We’re ending the government shutdown, blah blah blah, lie lie lie, I’m a huge fucking loser.” And if that’s too detailed for you, basically he got up to the...
This isn’t whimsical, there actually is an almost insanely easy solution to the government shutdown, and one that gives every side the ability to claim a “win” on the issue. And funnily enough, the basic mechanics are already in place. There is no doubt that the Republicans are feeling the heat. Poll...
I have always enjoyed Michael Isikoff’s work as an investigative journalist. Not only does he uncover some really cool, nasty shit, but like his co-author David Corn, he has a natural talent for taking what could be complex and confusing political issues, and simplifying them so that people without a...

Soooooo Mitch McConnell has been busy thinking of ways to grab more political hostages in order to force Democrats to cave to Trump’s demand for a wall. We can now add disaster survivors and abused women to furloughed government workers and undocumented immigrants. According to Tigerbeat on the Potomac, Senate Republicans...
I have a radical ides. I know, like this is a news flash, right? Just do me one favor. Read the whole damn thing, don’t just read the next paragraph, say “What an idiot!”, and then steam off to the comments section. Read it, look at what I say in...
Well, well, well. You mean Jared Kushner — who singlehandedly brought peace to the Middle East and got Israelis and Palestinians to gather on verdant hilltops, hand in hand, warbling “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” in white turtlenecks and vintage sundresses — flopped in his attempt to end...
Well, that didn’t take long! To be honest, I’m surprised that His Lowness didn’t show up today at Dover AFB clad in his silk Gucci boxers, since obviously the demented banshee that is Ann Coulter has already confiscated his every last pair of pants for her personal use. We aren’t 20 minutes...
How many times do we have to keep saying “You can’t make this shit up!” A few days ago, while Teri was on lunch at work, I gave her a quick rundown of the days events. After she hung up, I replayed the list in my head, amazed that any one of...
For the 147,296th time, no, I am not spiking the football. Every time I try that, the damn thing bounces back up and clips me in the nits. Two polls do not make a “trend,” but if yesterdays Marist and the CNN poll of a couple of days ago are accurate, and...
The President is a counter puncher. When he’s hit, he hits back twice as hard Sarah Huckabee Sanders Thus us a primo example of the bullshit that I like to call the Trump mythology. In boxing, a counter puncher deflects or accepts a minor blow in order to be in...
If there';s one sure fire diagnostic indicator of a “fucking moron,” it’s the inability to learn from ones past mistakes. I mean, come on, how many times do you have to whack your thumb with a hammer before you put the damn thing down and call a carpenter? I have...
obstinance – the trait of being difficult to handle or overcome. mulishness, obstinacy, stubbornness. intractability, intractableness – the trait of being hard to influence or control. 2. obstinance – resolute adherence to your own ideas or desires.

I fought the law, and the law won The Clash As a serious comedian *a true oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one), I’ve always had a favorite pet phrase. If I heard somebody say it, I knew where my next joke was coming from. That phrase is “But it seemed like...
Donald Trump has never been one to accept responsibility for his actions. I mean, the guy once tried to blame two of his employees who had died in a work-related helicopter crash for his own business failures. With regard to the shutdown, it’s becoming clear that he didn’t start with a...
Normally, Fox News viewers can count on watching hours and hours of regularly scheduled programming without getting a whiff of an inconvenient truth, but tonight Shepard Smith, one of the few (only?) honest brokers on the network, called Trump out on the steaming pile of racist offal he was serving the nation...
Shit just got real Anonymous Look, we all know that things are not always what they appear to be. Five short years ago, many of you here thought that I was capable of stringing two coherent sentences together. Wrong-o. Three short years ago, everybody on the planet knew that the Cubs could never win...
CRASH!!! Ohhh, sorry about that. I didn’t mean to knock over that china cabinet, but you looked so funny, laying there on the sofa with your eyes closed, moaning and rubbing your temples, that I accidentally fell against it laughing. I’ve never been one to celebrate New Years Eve. If I’m going...
It’s not much money in the grand scheme of things, but it’s definitely more than most federal workers could make from loofah-ing dead skin off the buttocks of their landlords. (Or painting or doing carpentry work or whatever, but who are we kidding? Landlords want their buttocks loofah-ed. Or am...
First, apologies. Earlier today I mentioned Ann Coulter in a diary, even though I’m well aware that the appropriate number of times to mention Ann Coulter is approximately zero times per eternity. And I’m also aware that if Nietzsche’s theory of eternal recurrence is true, you are now doomed to repeat the moment...
It now looks like the only way we’re going to get a Mexican border wall is if Stephen Miller makes one himself out of that spray-on hair gunk he doused his head with last Sunday. Everyone knows it — even the eternally obtuse Donald Trump. And he’s a bit piqued about...
