(2 comments) SHARE Wednesday, November 21, 2018 Lying Trump told yet another one, this time about an extra $500 million for CA fire prevention
Since 2010, Forest Service officials say, 129 million trees in California have died because of climate change, drought and insect infestations. But, top to bottom, the Trump regime is brimful of people who disbelieve climate scientists and have been adopting and trying to adopt policies that are guaranteed to make matters worse. And lying about it.
SHARE Wednesday, November 14, 2018 A Christmas Present From Hucky Boo Boo Sanders, She's Leaving WH The End Of The Year
Man, I knew that after the midterms things were going to be different, but they must be climbing the rafters and swinging from the chandeliers at the White House. Everybody is eyeing the exits. Now Sarah Hucky Boo Boo Sanders is supposedly leaving the end of the year -- the second time this story has surfaced in the past four months.

Trump and/or his rotten kids lure real estate buyers to new projects with blatantly false claims; by the time buyers find out they were duped, the Trumps have already pocketed the money and oozed off to the next "deal." If it sounds familiar it's because it's the precise operational model of "Trump University," the scam real-estate college -- and God help anyone who ever bought mail-order meat from this man.

There are at least two reasons why Trump should suddenly be grumbling about Trump Jr.'s upcoming time in handcuffs. Not only is Michael Cohen willing to testify that he lied to the Senate and mislead investigators, Rick Gates was also at that meeting. Gates agreed to cooperate with the Mueller investigation months ago, and so has likely already provided information on this meeting.

In New York City on Sunday night, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg stopped to chat with some of the press. CNN quotes Ginsburg as saying she intends to stay on the SCOTUS bench for another five years. "I'm now 85," Ginsburg said on Sunday. "My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years."
SHARE Tuesday, July 24, 2018 Georgia Republican took his pants off and repeatedly yelled the N-word on Sascha Baron Cohen's "Who is America?"
Spencer apparently believed a defense tactic against a terrorist would be to drop his pants and chase Cohen with his bare butt, saying "You better drop the gun or I'll touch you with my bare buttocks!" Later, in another self-defense scenario, Cohen tells Spencer he has three seconds to yell something to get people's attention -- and Spencer repeatedly yells out the most vile of racial slurs.
SHARE Thursday, July 19, 2018 Warren confronts Trump nominee on family separation: 'That's a moral stain that will follow you'
Sen. Elizabeth Warren pushed hard to pin Kathy Kraninger down during her confirmation hearing, but the nominee, who is currently at the Office of Management and Budget, twisted and dodged to avoid admitting to just what involvement she's had in tearing children from their parents.
(1 comments) SHARE Wednesday, July 11, 2018 Yes, Trump is a narcissist. But it's literally millions of times worse than that.
There's no use for logic or empathy when you're dealing with a delusional sect of a country that is sprinting toward a fascist 'Merica. It's not just Trump who is a narcissist beyond help, it's everyone who still follows him. Do yourself a favor and give them all a view of your gorgeous middle fingers.
(2 comments) SHARE Saturday, June 30, 2018 Donald Trump "shocked" that people listened to him call journalists treasonous disgusting scumbags
Donald Trump called the coverage of his talks with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un "almost treasonous." At his rallies, he has not just caged journalists, but encouraged his followers to demonstrate their hatred. The attacks on journalists began while Trump was campaigning, and they have not slowed down.

Our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores or making plans to place them in tent cities in the desert. We pride ourselves on being a moral nation, on being the nation that sends humanitarian relief to places devastated by natural disasters or famine or war. We must stop separating parents and children.
(3 comments) SHARE Wednesday, June 13, 2018 Rudy Giuliani's soon-to-be third ex-wife says he was cheating ... again. And where is Rudy?
Rudy Giuliani has a history of being an unfaithful ass to women. He began publicly flaunting his relationship with Judith Nathan in 2000, while he was married to Donna Hanover. And if you think breaking up with someone by text is bad, recall that Donna Hanover found out her marriage was over when Rudy held a press conference announcing he was divorcing her. It was ugly.

That Trump is more or less perceived by world leaders either as a cautionary tale of what can go wrong in a Democratic system, as a petulant toddler to be exploited for profit, or simply as an imbecile to be patiently waited out until he either leaves or is otherwise removed from office, has by now been amply established.
(1 comments) SHARE Saturday, June 2, 2018 Donald Trump officially declares himself above the law
It's harder to say which is being abused more by this circular legal sophistry, the law itself or the American people this grotesque mistake in the Oval Office is supposed to represent. One thing is crystal clear, and should not be lost in the reverberations of the media echo chamber: this is not the argument of someone who is innocent, but someone who is desperately trying to hide his guilt.

If an official policy of snatching infants from the arms of parents caught trying to breach the U.S. border to find some low-paying job is not "evil," then the term itself probably has no meaning for those who support that policy. A government that supposedly abhors "evil" would know intuitively how horribly depraved this is.
(14 comments) SHARE Sunday, May 20, 2018 Trump demands investigation into whether FBI "infiltrated" his presidential campaign
That Trump is willing to "officially" demand interference into the investigation of several other members of his campaign team's contacts with Russian intelligence figures suggests similar motive; the sitting president seeks to sabotage the investigation into campaign collusion with a foreign intelligence service.
SHARE Friday, May 18, 2018 A Michael Cohen breaking point? "I just can't take this anymore," he tells friends
Imagine Cohen watching this unfold in real time, largely isolated, as Trump and his hatchet man Rudy Giuliani repeatedly undercut Cohen's entire defense. As he watched the news unfold in his hotel room in Philadelphia over the weekend, he evidenced some exasperation. He has confided in friends, "I just can't take this anymore."
SHARE Tuesday, May 15, 2018 Trump's record pay-to-play: He saves ZTE telecom, China rewards Trump Organization with $500 million
One day -- one day -- after Donald Trump announced that he would act to interfere in the ruling against Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE, a firm owned by the Chinese government inked a deal to invest in and help build Trump's ersatz Disneyland. The White House says it is none of their business, but it is all Trump's business.
