If Donald Trump truly had a magic Sharpie, he could create a Froopyland in his own image and live there forever.

Trump’s not doing rubble-necking today, although like yesterday, he’s looking for more stand-in owners of destroyed stores for photo-ops.

Remember when a dyspeptic, misspelled, barely comprehensible tweet sent GOPsters near and far scurrying for cover? Are those days over? Because Maryland Gov.

Ask Donald Trump how effective his maladministration’s coronavirus response has been and he’ll tell you it’s fantastic. The best. We test a lot of people, you know. And, anyway, he’s more focused on the real crisis facing America — the health and security of our nation’s most racially offensive statues. But...

After Donald Trump peeled back another layer of decaying orange face rind last night to reveal still more maggots underneath, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot apparently decided enough was enough.

I heard poor and superficial spinning on Joe Biden’s gaffe with Charlamagne Tha God on “The Breakfast Club” all day. I mostly remained unengaged on the issue until I was pleasantly surprised that Sam Seder, host of The Majority Report, took the appropriate and substantive take on what was actually missing...
I’ve always suspected Donald Trump would be far more upset if someone screwed up his McDonald’s lunch order than if, say, millions of promised (and necessary) coronavirus tests failed to materialize by a self-imposed deadline. After all, Trump can lie about the tests, but he can’t pretend he has an invisible...

The Federal government excels at producing documents, in this case the head of the Executive Branch “looked the other way until it was too late.” This not-yet-released HHS report on COVID-19 projects an 18-month-long tsunami of nationwide disease and death.
