He’s running out of tricks, the latest one is re-branding racism as faux-patriotism. It’s more important to draw attention away from Robert Mueller’s coming appearance before Congress. Perhaps the possibility of Jeffrey Epstein’s documents being...

Even a robot umpire can figure out that Hope Hicks lied to investigators and her then boss remains a undicted co-conspirator. She needs to come before Congress again, in an open session, even if she pleads the Fifth. When she defies the subpoena,...

Q: “Have you ever been to a social function with Jeff Epstein and underage girls?” Trump: 'crickets' TGIF. Yes, it’s another million-dollar golf weekend for Individual-1 in New Jersey. Only those lacking virtuousness are impatient. #JusticeIsComing

Ending a Trump Organization investigation doesn't mean it's over by a long shot.
Trump might claim this as a victory but it’s Pyrrhic at best. This was never going to be a slam dunk on the campaign finance violations, because there will be so much...

Yo, Yo, Yo, trouble in River City.

Don Rickles on airplane glue … more lies and a receptive audience.
The unhingery is high, nearly like his 2-hour CPAC speech. Subsequent campaign speeches will follow this same template of lies and falsehoods, appeals to racism and sexism.
