Don’t you just love how Republicans try to find a way to normalize even the most heinous behavior when it’s done by one of their extremist brethren on the far right? They seem to think they can wink at neo-Nazis and KKK members as they court their votes, then pretend they don’t support such groups […]
If perhaps the corporate overlords at Comcast–which owns MSNBC–were wondering if it’s time to give Joe Scarborough the axe, what the asshat morning host said earlier today should convince them to hand Joe his pink slip. But I seriously doubt they will. Discussing the differences between how President Obama and Donald Trump are perceived when […]
A Montana man who is an Electoral College voter pledged to Donald Trump made some incredibly insensitive and downright disgusting comments about gay Americans a few years ago, and is now under scrutiny as electors prepare to meet in December. In 2010, as part of a protest against a lawsuit filed by the ACLU in […]
Before today, I had never heard of Pastor Mark Downey. Downey is a so-called Christian minister for Kinsman Redeemer Ministries, and he recently penned an open letter to President-elect Trump urging him to crack down on Jewish Americans. Downey is a member of the “Christian identity” movement, a fringe element on the far right that claims “Germanic, […]
Christian Picciolini used to be a skinhead, so he’s quite familiar with the rhetoric neo-Nazis use in order to recruit young members into the extremist fold. And he says that same coded language and imagery is now being used by Donald Trump. In an interview with the Times of Israel, Picciolini recalled how he was […]
Even though Donald Trump has allegedly been warned by some Senate Republicans to not nominate former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani for any position which would require confirmation, it would appear that Giuliani is still one of the top contenders to be the next Secretary of State. Earlier today on Morning Joe, it was […]
It now appears that just as he promised in the 2016 race for the White House, Donald Trump will indeed be instituting a registry for all Americans of the Muslim faith. The very idea reeks of Nazi Germany, but Trump cannot be bothered with opinions which are contrary to his own personal insanity. Earlier this […]
On several occasions during the 2016 race for the White House, Donald Trump made statements similar to this one: “(I’ll) bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.” Was that just posturing, a tactic Trump used to appear tough to American voters? Based on what Mike Pence said earlier today on Face the Nation, […]
If there’s one thing we know with absolutely certainty about Donald Trump, it’s this: He’s a bottom line kinda guy. Instead of wondering how the decisions he makes will impact others, it’s all about what’s in it for Don the Con. If there’s no profit to be made, Trump isn’t even mildly interested. Which brings […]
While some Democrats in Congress are saying they will work with President-elect Donald Trump to help pass legislation which might create jobs, a new caucus of progressives has emerged that is vowing to refuse any cooperation at all with the new administration. They call themselves the “hell no” caucus. Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego had this to […]
