  • Calmes: The hush money trial has only just begun, but it's not a good look for Candidate Trump

    The first criminal trial of a former U.S. president hadn’t started this week, and already Donald Trump found himself behind bars. It wasn’t a good look for Candidate Trump. Whenever he enters or leaves the Manhattan courtroom in the case of People of New York State vs. Donald J. Trump, Defendant Trump makes a beeline for the cameras, to rant about the goings-on. But to reach them, he must enter a security pen — like a small cell — formed by metal barricades akin to bike racks. They recall the...

  • No, Symone! A Third-Party Candidate Won't Deprive Biden or Trump of 270 Electoral Votes

    I don't mean to pick on Symone Sanders Townsend. But for the second time in as many weeks, the co-anchor of MSNBC's The Weekend has exposed a disturbing knowledge deficit. Last week, we caught Symone accusing Donald Trump, in his inaugural address, of "promising carnage."
