Apparently Donald Trump plans to win the election and then go on an extended vacation, leaving the day-to-day running of the government to his Vice President, Mike Pence. Be afraid. Be very afraid. According to a report in the New York Times magazine, the Trump campaign originally approached Ohio Governor John Kasich and offered him […]
If you’ve been brave enough to watch any of this year’s GOP convention, then you know it’s mainly just one speaker after another saying patently false and ridiculous things about Hillary Clinton. They never provide any facts to support their allegations, mind you, because Republicans have a phobia when it comes to the truth. But […]
Last night, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is a former U.S. Attorney, attempted to lay out the “case” against Hillary Clinton on the issue of foreign policy. What’s so odd about that is the fact that Christie has absolutely zero experience when it comes to foreign policy, and might not even be able to […]
Day 1 of the 2016 Republican National Convention is already embroiled in a controversy over the alleged cribbing of lines in Melania Trump’s speech from a speech given by Michelle Obama in 2008. But prior to the actual speech last night, there was the grand entrance of the presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, as if he […]
Just last week, some GOP insiders were fretting that there might not be enough speakers to fill out the slate at this year’s Republican National Convention, but as they learned last night, sometimes nothing is better than a batshit crazy something.

Donald Trump is fond of calling his 1987 autobiography “The Art of the Deal” his second favorite book in the world, behind only the Bible, which he pretends he’s actually read, though he can never seem to recall a favorite passage from it. But now we have a better insight into the man who said, […]
If the first joint interview the newly hatched Trump-Pence GOP team gave to “60 Minutes” is any indication, this is gonna be one rocky marriage of convenience. And it’s also gonna give comedians lots of raw material to work with. The subject of negative campaigning came up. Trump–aka the Orange Menace–is the master of all […]
While Mike Pence may be Donald Trump’s choice to serve as his running mate, it should not be forgotten that Pence is an incredibly extreme and far right politician who has devoted much of his life trying to impose his own religious beliefs on others–usually women–through legislation. As Jeff Sharlet–an expert on Christian fundamentalism pointed […]
Mike Pence is no longer the Governor of Indiana. As of today he’s the official running mate of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump. Talk about going from the frying pan to the fire! It’s probably a good idea Pence got out of Indiana while he could. He’s incredibly unpopular in his home state, and was […]
