What did the president know and when did he know it? That was an often repeated question during the Watergate crisis. With the resignation of national security adviser Michael Flynn, that is one of many questions being asked, except by most Republicans. Flynn talked to the Russian ambassador during the transition. He claimed he never... Continue Reading →
Miller Time
White House policy adviser Stephen Miller made the rounds on the Sunday talk shows and continued the lie about massive voter fraud. It was another statement of his that is cause for concern if not outright fear. Miller stated "the powers of the president to protect our nation are very substantial and will not be...

Ethics Schmethics
The Trump administration has taken Kellyanne Conway to task. She's been scolded, counseled, and has been made to understand her faux pas and will no longer wear white after Labor day. Looking at the Nutcracker outfit Ms. Conway wore on inauguration day it seems the person who may have the most issue with Kellyanne pimping... Continue Reading →
Trumped By Judges
Donald Trump is treated unfairly. Don't take my word for it. His supporters will tell you he's treated unfairly. Donald Trump will tell you he's treated unfairly. The media is mean to him. The networks treat him unfairly. Saturday Night Live is cruel. His fellow Republicans weren't fair during the primaries. The entire system was... Continue Reading →
Douglass Ratings Massacre
The White House is full of idiots. Chock full of them. We have Sean Spicer attempting to convince us not to believe our eyes when it comes to crowd size and that a ban isn't a ban even after he and the president refer to it as a ban. There's the president who goes to... Continue Reading →

What Would Nixon Do?

Trump issued an executive order banning refugees from seven nations strife with terrorism. A funny... Continue Reading →
Fascist Say Shut Up
Let's start with the second most ridiculous aspect of this. This first is the fact Donald Trump is actually president of the United States and is issuing more racist executive orders than tweets. The second is that an alt-right white nationalist from Breitbart is the president's chief strategist. What's the strategy? Telling the press... Continue Reading →
Bomp Ba-Bomp Bomp Bomp Bomp Bomp
Just like all your conservative friends who can't think for themselves and need talking points to insult liberals with "snowflake," Donald Trump needs television to put words into his mouth, or in this case, his tweets. Chelsea Manning wrote a column criticizing President Obama's legacy. Fox News called her an "ungrateful traitor" and said she... Continue Reading →
