That Area Between Black and White
There’s a weird trend now. You’ll find a short list of some ways this Republican or that made the wrong choice between being a decent person who represents their constituents or a greedy, reckless yes-man. At the end of the list, a relentlessly positive or downright naïve person brings up one not-completely-horrible-thing that Republican has …
We’re glad to have you back for the second episode of our celebration of willful ignorance and misplaced pride. The continuing, real-life adventures of Trumpette on The Trumpette Show. . . (static) “NumptyVision interrupts our regularly-scheduled programming to give you this update from the co-host of Hate Speech. Oh. wait. That co-host is gone now, too? …
Trumpcare. The bill that wouldn’t die. Kill or be killed. The bill or the People? It’s a race for our lives. While we brush up on rules of impeachment and how pardons work and which rat is jumping ship today, the Senate is busy trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Again. There is a …

There’s a bully in Belgium; we sent him there. Our top story on Hate Speech today: what does the Bully-In-Chief/host of the show do when he is concerned he might not be front and center at a photo op for NATO leaders? Don’t be a dick, Donnie. Oops. Too late. Ladies and gentlemen, the example for …
We gave him a chance. He said Mexicans are rapists. I was done right then. Done. You said “no, no, give him another chance.” He said we’ll build a wall on the southern border; he insulted our friends. He bragged “I’m really rich” though he won’t submit income information so we know how wealthy he is …
