After Russia Put Bounties on U.S. Troops, Trump Struck Back – At White House Leakers
Among the criticisms most often leveled at Donald Trump is that he has been a negligent president who spends the bulk of his time on self-serving trivialities like golf, Twitter, and watching Fox News. As it turns out, that may be an unfair analysis. Trump isn't nearly as lazy as the past three and half…
DementiaDon: Trump Volunteers to Lose a Cognition Contest to Joe Biden
The reelection campaign of Donald Trump just keeps getting more bizarre and desperate with every passing day. His ludicrous diversions from viable political strategy have caused many Republicans to question whether Trump actually wants to win at all.

Trump's petulance reportedly led to fewer verbal briefings on Russia
So if you bristled every time someone at your office brought you key information that was crucial to your job performance — and you did it so often that they eventually stopped giving you that information — you’d be fired, right?

with appropriate subtitles, in a new ad titled “Fellow Traveler” Given the title, the fact that Putin thinks the greatest tragedy of the 20th Century was the fall of the USSR, his role as a KGB figure, and supported by the music of the ad, this is another winner. Oh, and for those of you…
Reddit might be able to delete its Trumpist subreddits but can't stop Trump's arrest #ResignNowTrump
Yesterday r/The_Donald group got banned by Reddit. Not so easy for the rest of us. x In 2017, we used subreddit algebra to dissect r/The_Donald and filter out commenters’ interest in politics. The results supported the theory that at least a subset of Trump’s supporters were motivated by racism. (*On Monday, Reddit banned r/The_Donald.) https://t.co/bAPK4qOAQ8…

The Face of Evil
It’s been clear since October 2016 that Vladimir Putin has been interfering in our elections, and that he’s planning to do it again.

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…

Putin's Puppet! Putin's Puppet!
In the third debate, in October 2016, between Hillary and the now-impeached president trump, Hillary said that Putin would “rather have a puppet” as President, and now-IMPOTUS taunted back, like the child he is, “I know you are, but what am I?” (Well, actually he said, “No puppet! You’re the puppet!”) We’ve seen lots of…

Tucker Carlson says he's rooting for Russia against Ukraine
When did the GOP become a pro-Russia cult? Seriously, when? These people are so mesmerized by Donald Trump’s surpassing charms they can’t resist upending decades of conservative orthodoxy for the chance to kiss the hand that grabs the pussies?
