Generic Campaign Commercials Are More Civil

Though the real ones are still more exciting

This might be a commercial for a stock video footage company, but it’s a pretty compelling generic presidential candidate ad nonetheless.

U.S. Brewery Proposes Line of Anti-Trump Brews

First in the Series to Be Called 'Short-Fingered Stout'

download-1-350x350A U.S. brewery has launched a line of anti-Donald Trump beers under the tagline, “Friends Don’t Let Friends Vote Drumpf.”

The Dock Street Brewery in Philadelphia announced the line of beers via its website, using the name “Drumpf” as a reference to political comedian John Oliver’s popular “Make Donald Drumpf Again” meme. Trump’s family anglicized their German surname’s spelling after immigrating to the United States.

The first beer in the series, whose debut is still shrouded in mystery, is to be called Short-Fingered Stout.

The Danger of Mixing Caffeine and Politics

Florida Gov. Rick Scott received a well-deserved tongue-lashing when he stopped in this Gainesville, Florida, Starbucks.

Poll: Clinton Leads Trump by 31 Percentage Points in California

art-cal-flag-dems

In this most unpredictable of all presidential campaign seasons, there is at least one thing that can be counted on to hold true.

California remains a reliable stronghold for the Democratic Party, in general — and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, specifically.

That assumption is based on recent polling in the Golden State, including a well-respected USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll released today.

Trump Meets with the Washington Post Editorial Board, Discusses the Size of His Hands

He has been thin-skinned about his small hands since the 1980s, when Spy magazine lampooned him as the 'short-fingered vulgarian'

The 2016 campaign for the U.S. presidency will likely always be remembered as the first time (and, let’s hope, the last) that a candidate’s genitals became an issue.

The candidate in question is Donald Trump, of course. And for everyone who is familiar with Trump’s history before he entered the presidential race, it is hardly surprising that he’s dragged presidential political discourse down to this unprecedented level of vulgarity.

Secret of Trump’s Success: The ‘Liberal Media’ Has Given Him a Free Ride

graph-trump-free-media

Statistics on media coverage of the 2016 presidential race reveal how Donald Trump has managed to dominate the race. He did by commandeering media coverage and using the time to promote his brand of racist demagoguery.

The media has been complicit, of course, because it turns out that inflaming race hatred in America is good for ratings.

Amy Goodman laid it all on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” on Sunday.

Anonymous Isn’t April Foolin’ About War on Trump

The hacking group Anonymous is again threatening to make life harder on Donald Trump. Having already published his social security and cell phone numbers, along with the names of family members and other “private” information, they are now seeking more. They want their followers to hack The Donald on April 1, aka April Fool’s Day.

We’d feel worse about this than we do if the man himself hadn’t already pulled a similar stunt by reading Sen. Lindsay Graham’s phone number during one of Trump’s campaign speeches. That led to a hilarious video from Graham. We’ll see how Trump reacts when he’s on the receiving end of this behavior.

Here’s one more Anonymous video explaining why the group is going after Trump.
