Rep. Maxine Water Hosts Donald Trump 2020 Reelection Campaign in California

Last updated on: June 24, 2018 at 11:00 pm By Susan Wright

Proving that derelict psychopaths aren’t just a fixture with the Trunp Republican party, Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) spoke up in a public rally of her supporters, showing all of her best parts. Lunacy is truly bipartisan. While speaking Saturday at a rally to protest the separation of families at the border, Waters, who never seems to make the most sense, advocated for the absolute worst of human behavior. “I have no sympathy for these people that are in this administration...

Immigration Officials Offer Asylum Seekers Difficult Choice

Last updated on: June 24, 2018 at 5:27 pm By Susan Wright

Every time I think the cruelty of Donald Trump has peaked, something uglier rears its head. A new report, regarding the family separations on the southern border reveals the lengths the administration is going to, in order to coerce voluntary deportation from some of the immigrants being detained. According to the Texas Tribune, detainees are being offered a deal: Sign a voluntary deportation agreement and they will be reunited with their children at the airport. The order leaves no room...

With Fealty to Frailty – Meet the Federalist Party of America

Last updated on: June 23, 2018 at 8:43 pm By Susan Wright

Since 2016 I’ve been advocating for a third party to make a legitimate run for political offices around the nation. I think a big problem with what we’re seeing today, and this myth that we have no other option but to vote for either the Republicans or the Democrats is that most third party hopefuls wait until an election season and then go straight for the presidency. I’ve always maintained that for any third party to be taken seriously, they... Read more

The “Trump of Pahrump” Shows How Trumpism Has Infected Evangelical Mores in the U.S.

Last updated on: June 23, 2018 at 3:57 pm By Susan Wright

And this is extreme Trumpism, the absolute ugly, raw, unvarnished truth of how allegiance with Trump for Evangelical voters is enmity with God. Dennis Hof is running for a state Assembly seat in Nevada, and because he’s running as a Republican, calling himself a Trump supporter, Nevada’s Christians are supporting him. So who is Dennis Hof? He’s a pimp. Literally. He runs multiple brothels in Nevada, as well as strip clubs. “This really is the Trump movement,” Hof, 71, told... Read more

Tom Arnold Implodes on CNN and Michael Cohen Distances Himself From the Wreckage

Last updated on: June 23, 2018 at 10:24 am By Susan Wright

On Friday all the buzz was about actor and comedian, Tom Arnold, and the news that he would be working with Michael Cohen, the former attorney and “fixer” for Donald Trump, uncovering damaging videos of the president that may be archived somewhere out there. The ultimate prize, of course, would be the Russian pee-pee tapes, but if those exist, they’re in Vladimir Putin’s private vault, I’m sure. Still, Arnold was giddy in announcing the plans to work with Cohen and... Read more

Right-Wing Columnist George Will Calls for the Ouster of the Republican Majority

Last updated on: June 22, 2018 at 8:46 pm By Susan Wright

It’s not like I don’t understand the frustration. As I’ve mentioned, I threw my hands up in utter disgust after the Republican National Convention, back in July 2016. Given what I knew about how Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and then-RNC Chairman Reince Priebus conspired and bullied to keep the delegates opposed to Donald Trump from having a say, per convention rules, on the convention floor, I doubted my disgust with the party could get much higher. Subsequent knowledge of... Read more

DOJ Employee Who Harassed DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen May Be in Hot Water

Last updated on: June 22, 2018 at 4:29 pm By Susan Wright

Well, this is despicable, and if they want to silence the notion that the Department of Justice is a stewing cesspool, full of hard left reactionaries, this is probably not going to help their cause. Some of you may have heard about an incident that occurred Tuesday, in the heat of the debate over what to do with the immigrant children being held in detainment centers at the border. Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of Homeland Security was chased by an angry,... Read more

Manic Rhetoric on Immigration Will NOT Bring a Red Wave in November

Last updated on: June 22, 2018 at 12:15 pm By Susan Wright

I don’t know if this is just extreme hubris or a case of someone so manic and out of touch with what’s going on outside of the echo chambers of Fox News and internet fanboy sites, like Gateway Pundit and Breitbart News, that he’s incapable of seeing the writing on the wall. Immigration and the situation at the border is going to be a killer for the Republican party in November. The optics surrounding the immigrant kids and their parents... Read more

Former Trump Attorney and “Fixer” Teams With Anti-Trump Actor in New TV Show

Last updated on: June 22, 2018 at 10:05 am By Susan Wright

Oh, my! I’ve been talking about it, but if anyone is wondering if Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and “fixer” Michael Cohen really was prepared to turn on the president and reveal all he knows, I think you can stop puzzling over that one. Those who know the long relationship between the president and Cohen seem to be in agreement on several things. For one, Michael Cohen is absolutely the person who knows all the dirty details of Trump and... Read more

Trump Surrogate Inspires Meme-Moments From the Lowest Depths of the Internet

Last updated on: June 21, 2018 at 11:12 pm By Susan Wright

If former President Barack Obama’s divisive, “Us vs. Them” rhetoric was insidiously wrapped in intellectual doublespeak, the raw, naked racism stirred up by the age of Trump is the backlash, and we’re all so much worse off for it. And if there’s anyone who feels some impulse to defend Barack Obama in this moment, let’s just understand that you’re wrong. Full stop. We have Trump because of the smug nastiness and epic ego of Obama. He was not the smooth,... Read more
