What Happens When We Apply Jimmy Kimmel’s Feminism to Jimmy Kimmel?

Last updated on: September 25, 2018 at 12:51 pm By Susan Wright

Truly, if you’re going to appoint yourself the voice of male feminism and a crusader against the scourges of right wing treachery, maybe do a thorough scrub of your own odious background. For today’s episode of “Hypocrite Theater,” we’re giving special honor to Jimmy Kimmel, the outspoken host of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” late night show. Kimmel is a comedian, writer, and producer with a packed background in his field. His late night show is quite popular and reaches a... Read more

News of Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein Resigning Puts Future of Russia Probe in Question

Last updated on: September 24, 2018 at 12:51 pm By Susan Wright

THIS. IS. NOT. A. DRILL. This is red alert, all-hand-on-deck news. Maybe. According to Axios, quoting a source close to the matter, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will be resigning, effective Monday. The White House has accepted his resignation, because, you know, there was the risk that Donald Trump somehow wanted Rosenstein – the man who appointed Robert Mueller to begin the Russia probe – to stay on. From CNBC News: Rosenstein’s expected resignation will immediately raise questions about the... Read more

Trump Touts His Honesty in a New Interview (and It’s NOT Parody)

Last updated on: September 24, 2018 at 9:52 am By Susan Wright

President Trump wants everyone to know he’s totally not worried about his former attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen rolling over on him and providing information to special counsel Robert Mueller’s team. On Friday we discussed the news that Cohen has now sat with investigators with Mueller’s team, as well as prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York. This is significant, since other than the ongoing probe into Russian activities in the 2016 election, the... Read more

Kavanaugh Accuser’s Longtime Friend Issues Statement (Case Closed?)

Last updated on: September 22, 2018 at 11:46 pm By Susan Wright

So let’s revisit the Brett Kavanaugh controversy. I first mentioned Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday, as I discussed the poor handling of the controversy by Reverend Franklin Graham. And what was the controversy? I’m glad you asked. Judge Kavanaugh has been nominated by President Trump to the Supreme Court. The question of his confirmation was a no-brainer. The majority Republicans in the Senate would hand him an easy up vote and in he would go. For the political left, this was... Read more

New York Times Article Claims Rod Rosenstein Considered a 25th Amendment Fix

Last updated on: September 21, 2018 at 3:17 pm By Susan Wright

The specter of the 25th Amendment – that is, removing a president deemed unfit or incapable of performing the job – has raised its head again. The last time we heard mention of applying the 25th Amendment to the yammering, incoherent embarrassment in the White House, it was in an anonymously written op-ed to The New York Times. In that instance, someone claiming to be a senior White House official suggested that the 25th Amendment had been discussed, early in... Read more

Sources Say Michael Cohen Now Voluntarily Working With Mueller in Russia Probe

Last updated on: September 21, 2018 at 10:05 am By Susan Wright

A new report from ABC News gives us a look into how special counsel Robert Mueller may be finally driving the Russia probe home. The belief is that he has worked his way up, and the “big fish” could be former Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and longtime “fixer.” Both men have agreed to cooperate with Mueller. We don’t know what Manafort’s cooperation will look like, at the moment. We just know... Read more

Franklin Graham Wades Gracelessly Into the Brett Kavanaugh Controversy

Last updated on: September 20, 2018 at 9:29 am By Susan Wright

I’ve remained silent on the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, thus far. Rather than a cut-and-dried confirmation process, Kavanaugh finds himself the subject of weaponized, #MeToo-styled accusations. For those who haven’t been keeping up, Brett Kavanaugh was on his way to an easy confirmation process, when Senator Dianne Feinstein decided to make a grandstand play, revealing a letter she’d allegedly been sitting on since July. The letter was from a California college professor by the name of... Read more

Trump Suggests That Jeff Sessions Is Missing in Action

Last updated on: September 19, 2018 at 12:18 pm By Susan Wright

I don’t know if I’m supposed to feel bad for Attorney General Jeff Sessions, or not. I mean, let’s be honest about this thing: He jumped on the Trump train early, even after seeing Trump’s abusive, petty behavior towards his fellow candidates for the GOP nomination, and a host of laughably bad debate performances. And no, if you went to a Drudge or Breitbart online poll and voted multiple times for Trump, even before the debate was finished, that doesn’t... Read more

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’ “Let Them Eat Cake” Tariff Defense

Last updated on: September 18, 2018 at 12:20 pm By Susan Wright

So we talked about President Trump and his terrible tariff plan to weaken our economy. For those that missed it, President Best Brain is lobbing a fresh shot across the bow of China, with over $200 billion in new tariffs. China is retaliating. It will not go well for American businesses or consumers. Smarter people have attempted to explain to Trump the destructive nature of his protectionist policies, regarding trade. None of them have been able to penetrate the MAGA... Read more

Strap in Tight: Trump Announces MORE Tariffs

Last updated on: September 18, 2018 at 9:48 am By Susan Wright

The weekend news, as well as the beginning of the week’s news cycle has been inundated with coverage of the damage in the Carolinas, caused by Hurricane Florence. Believe me, I understand the impact, all too well. My weekend pursuits were stunted by the storm. As she moved into North Carolina, she shut power down for the majority of my city. Now, after three hot, sticky days, and with the hurricane snack stash depleted, I emerge from the dark days... Read more
