Many Republicans couldn't stand to see President Barack Obama in the White House and fly in Air Force One. It insulted their senses. I can relate somewhat because I am disgusted by Donald Trump occupying the Oval Office and using the first plane. The difference between my repulsion and theirs is that mine isn't based...

Furt Those Tweets
After Trump fired his National Security Adviser Michael Flynn (after being on the job for only 24 days), he tweeted that he fired him for lying to Vice President Mike Pence. On Saturday, a tweet went out from Trump's Twitter account stating he fired Flynn, not just for lying to Pence, but also for lying... Continue Reading →
Flynn Flam
Donald Trump asked then FBI Director James Comey to drop the bureau's investigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Trump did this because Flynn "is a good guy." Trump did not want the investigation stopped because Flynn is a good guy. He wanted it ended because of what Flynn knows. Trump has asked Senators... Continue Reading →
Trump Train Trolls
Back in the old normal, journalists never referred to a politician as a liar. They were either wrong, mistaken, misinformed, misspeaking, or incorrect. That changed with Donald Trump as the man continues to repeat lies after being told they're lies. Trump and his sycophants don't just lie where you can say it's their viewpoint. They...

Trump’s Pocahontas Time
Most American presidents spend Thanksgiving weekend visiting troops, dishing out soup to the homeless and generally refraining from douchey behavior. Donald Trump set out to make this Thanksgiving the douchiest ever in the history of American presidents. I think he succeeded. George W. Bush once spent Thanksgiving in Iraq with American troops. Trump went to... Continue Reading →
Wacky Republicans
It seems each new day brings us a revelation of sexual harassment, transgressions, or weird sex stuff of someone prominent. The latest revealed that Texas' longest serving Congressman, Republican Joe Barton, was having an affair while separated from his wife. He says the sex was consensual, and they only did it twice over five years.... Continue Reading →
Stranger Danger
The three largest newspapers in Alabama are pleading with the state's voters not to send Roy Moore to the United States Senate. The Birmingham News, The Mobile Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times (all owned by Alabama Media Group) don't want the voters to embarrass Alabama. While we're wondering how so many people can defend and... Continue Reading →
Ingrate Gobbler
The Idiot-in-Chief couldn't stop tweeting dumb shit this weekend. What else is new, right? He attacked Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake, and tweeted, "was caught (purposely) on “mike” saying bad things about your favorite President." My first thought was, what did Flake say about Teddy Roosevelt? By the way, Mr. Cheeto...it's "mic," not "mike," unless... Continue Reading →
Franky And Donny
I wasn't sure about this cartoon. I don't want to come off as if I'm deflecting for Al Franken when I think the accusations against him should be taken seriously. And, then...Trump tweeted. Do you know why Democrats have a harder time with sexual misconduct than the Republican Party? It's because there's a consensus among... Continue Reading →
Scamelot
I said it in a blog post a few days ago, and I'm gonna say it again. I'm old enough to remember when protecting America from Russia was a part of the Republican Party's platform. And, I don't think I'm that old. Like Trump, when John F. Kennedy took office, critics questioned if he was... Continue Reading →
