SHARE Saturday, May 12, 2018 DeVos Has a Plan To Force Taxpayers to Fund Religious Schools
It is no secret that DeVos hates the public school system for a variety of reasons, but chief among them is that they are not taxpayer funded evangelical madrassas and they do not yet exist to enrich her wealthy cohorts in the corporate private and religious school movement.

Everything else that Trump has or hasn't done about Russia, any sanctions, any tariffs, any expelled diplomats, absolutely pales in comparison to the huge boost he provided to the Russian economy by backing away from the Iran nuclear deal. In fact, short of actually starting a shooting war in the region, it's difficult to find anything else that Trump might have done of more benefit to Putin.
SHARE Monday, May 7, 2018 Puerto Rico. A Reality No American Citizen Should Ever Have to Face
For so many thousands of families, a once revered time has become the dreaded hour that light fades, leaving them shrouded in a darkness they've suffered for 228 days. No American should still be living this nightmare, but, here we are, only three weeks from the start of our next hurricane season.
SHARE Saturday, May 5, 2018 Washington Post: Trump is lying more often now than he did even last year
Trump openly propagandizes in the manner of authoritarians and dictatorships; he not only dismisses facts that he considers hostile to his government but invents new ones wholesale, attempting to bully the press into accepting them and broadcasting them as their new, pro-himself reality. In the best case, he is delusional or pathological, a man mentally unfit for the office. In the best case. The worst case is just as likely.

Filmmaker, actor, producer, and staunch liberal activist Rob Reiner attended the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) in Washington DC on Saturday night. Early Sunday morning, like many, Reiner took to Twitter to comment on Michelle Wolf's live roast of the Republican Party.

Alex Jones has stoked the fires of people who believe conspiracy theories that somehow connect a super vast evil conspiracy -- so vampirish and insidious in nature, so cruel and power-hungry -- that instead of actually killing people and covering it up, they pretend to kill people and then cover up that cover up. People like Alex Jones are the only time I vaguely hope that there is an actual hell.
SHARE Friday, April 13, 2018 Get ready: Rosenstein says he's prepared to be fired, as Trump seems prepared to fire him
The constant stream of security advisers fleeing the arrival of new national security adviser John Bolton may have made it seem like Friday all week, this is actually Friday. And Friday is the traditional day for Trump to vent his petty rage and try and end the Russia investigation before he takes to the links. The target of Trump's attempts this week is expected to be Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

There's a lot of meat on that bone. And if Mueller finds any legal improprieties, he will surely leverage every bit of that weight to flip Cohen. To a large extent, Trump's fate now lies at least partially in the hands of Cohen. Will he go the way of Michael Flynn or Paul Manafort?
SHARE Wednesday, April 4, 2018 Jarvanka Offered Planned Parenthood A Bribe To Stop Abortions, Do Big Publicity Spread
Quite the charmer, Jared. And Ivanka is no different. Yep, Jarvanka are quite the pair, blasting through D.C. with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, except on motorized roller skates. Supposedly even Trump has wondered if he shouldn't have left them back in New York City.

Vanessa Trump has filed for divorce from Donald Trump Jr. in New York. Gossip site Page Six has reported that Vanessa made a curious legal hire to represent her--White Plains, NY-based criminal defense lawyer David Feureisen. The former couple say the divorce will be uncontested, which makes this hire even more curious.

Nunes points out that the reason the nation is undergoing such unprecedented turmoil is that leftists have seized control of the most powerful institutions in the country -- universities and Hollywood -- and are using them to enslave the minds of decent citizens.
(2 comments) SHARE Thursday, March 1, 2018 The many legal exposures of Hope Hicks spell double trouble for Trump
Hicks, who was interviewed by the special counsel's team in December, could be central to both the conspiracy and obstruction cases being built by Robert Mueller. And as she admitted in her testimony before the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday, she had sometimes found it necessary to tell white lies to cover the tracks of her perfidious boss.
SHARE Monday, February 26, 2018 Democratic memo shows that Devin Nunes simply lied, and Nunes responds ... with more lies
Two weeks after Donald Trump blocked Democrats from releasing a more extensive document pointing out the many lies of omission and lies of commission included in Nunes' work, the House Intelligence Committee finally released a redacted version of the Democratic memo.
SHARE Tuesday, February 20, 2018 Mueller has his eye on Jared Kushner's desperate search for money -- and one very odd meeting
The Vnesheconombank deal might have been a desperate attempt to find money by a sinking company. It may have been a way to pass on information to Putin. Either way, it may turn out to be Jared Kushner's only chance to find his way to a few months in a low-security facility.
SHARE Sunday, February 18, 2018 The first rule of White House Wife-Beaters Club is don't talk about ... the wives
We have a White House that is literally full of wife beaters and potential foreign assets, people that could easily be compromised and blackmailed, who are high-value targets for foreign intelligence services from China, Israel, Germany, and even Russia. Does the White House do the right thing? Nope, not until someone else forces them to.
(1 comments) SHARE Friday, February 16, 2018 After a year in office, Trump still doesn't understand what a filibuster is
What this little temper tantrum is more proof of is that Trump has no interest in making a deal. He's still insisting on his proposal, now in the House (which will mostly likely never get voted on). He wants to deport the Dreamers, and every move he's made since September when he cancelled the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals demonstrates that.
