  • Don't be dumb like Donald Trump today

    I am still suffering from Trump-era-induced brain melt. But even against the uncontrolled spigot of dumb that produced my malady, one especially dumb moment stands out: former President Donald Trump’s peek at a solar eclipse. As I wrote at the time, it was a deeply Trumpian incident that, true to character, defied both science and […]

  • Jurors Are Dropping Like Flies in Trump NYC Case

    Well, that was fast. Juror #2, the oncology nurse who lived on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, was dismissed from the jury in former President Donald Trump's bookkeeping case when the trial resumed on Thursday. Then, soon thereafter, prosecutors booted another juror from the case.

  • Donald Trump's no good, very bad week talking about abortion

    Let's be clear: If Donald Trump is talking about abortion, he's losing. He and his campaign would much rather be playing offense, slamming President Joe Biden on issues like immigration and the economy as the 2024 presidential race heats up. But when he's talking about abortion, Trump is playing defense. So at the outset of the week, Trump tried to put the issue to rest. Here's a very brief recap of how that worked out. Monday: After months of obfuscation, Trump finally stated his position on...

  • Trump's $175M bond looks like an attempt to defraud the court

    It appears that real estate fraudster Donald J. Trump's last-minute attempt to fix the problems with his prior bond filing has created more questions and offered no believable answers. After being found guilty of fraud and ordered to pay $454 million, Donald Trump was offered a lifeline by the court to post only a $175 million bond during his appeal. — Read the rest

  • Truth Social’s value plummets again, but Trump is likely unbothered

    Over the past few months, Donald Trump has sold golden sneakers, patriotic Bibles, pieces of the suit he wore when getting a mugshot, and a new collection of NFT cards for those who didn’t lose enough on the previous round of Trump NFT cards. Trump doesn’t make these things—the Bible sales are out of inventory that has been around for years, the shoes and cards are something he sticks his name on for a hefty percentage—but just about anything goes when trying to fill the money pit left by $100...

  • How Biden’s balderdash bests Trump’s tough talk

    I’m truly bothered that tens of millions of Americans consider Joe Biden to be a “nice person” in contrast to Donald Trump, who is supposedly a loudmouth bully and the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler.Since I’m annoyed by Trump’s speaking style and name-calling, I am hardly a Trump zealot. But I doubt that Trump sounds more vituperative, dishonest, or malicious than Biden. Whether it’s a matter of hurling obscenities, accusing the opposition of being terrorists and wanting to put black people “back...
