We know he spouts nonsense and lies constantly, but here are the most common phrases used by Trump in this campaign.

He’s Ba-ack!

At their convention, the Repubs in the Lone Star State have completely lost their minds with party planks which are unconstitutional in all caps. (The ‘Lone Star’ actually a one star review of Texas politics.) If only Molly Ivins were alive today…..

Here’s an article to help define the various subsets of the movement. It’s a bit like the argument for number of angels on a pin: pointless to all but the fundies.

The film ‘The Apprentice’ was presented at the Cannes Film Festival and is looking for a distributor. Trump doesn’t like the film and sent a cease and desist letter to stop its US sale and release, making it even more popular. If he follows through and sues, discovery should be very interesting.

That’s a quote from Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison. The following article details Cotton’s racist, sexist, islamophobic, and national security sabotage actions, but fails to mention his lies about his military service.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) looking creepy.

South Dakota’s Puppy-Murdering Governor Kristi Noem has attacked the Native Americans who are part of the state higher education system by not allowing them to use tribal affiliations (or pronouns) in their email signatures.
