Election 2016

*VOMIT EMOJI* Gage Skidmore via Wikimedia Commons The Washington Post just released a video of Donald Trump discussing women in impossibly disparaging terms, and it’s damning. In the below video, you can hear the recording, which was captured while Trump was speaking to Access Hollywood‘s Billy Bush while on a bus during an appearance on […]

Unfortunately, he’s probably not the only one. Joseph Sohm / Shutterstock.com Donald Trump’s birtherism isn’t the only racist idea he holds against all reason. According to CNN, Trump still believes that the so-called Central Park 5 raped and beat a woman who was jogging through the park in 1989. A few weeks after that story […]

Tim Kaine doesn’t have time for your guff. United States Senate via Wikimedia Commons It’s a good look, and the lone reason the agony of this week’s interruption-happy vice presidential debate was even marginally tolerable: Someone finally brought up abortion rights in a debate this election season, and when asked about his stance on it, […]

Yesterday Samantha Bee ran a hilarious little “gotcha” segment featuring Trump supporters who claim that Democrats have “rigged” the election in favor of their nominee, Hillary Clinton. The election is rigged, they claim, unless Trump wins. In which case, the election was “rigged” against him, but not “rigged” in the sense that “rigged” actually means. […]

But God, it’s one of America’s favorite political games! It’s an especially disheartening game because the contestants will be playing to the most uneducated people in the room. The Republican National […]

Another day, another new way the Trump Foundation may have broken the law. Evan El-Amin / Shutterstock.com Trump likes to talk about the Clinton Foundation as if it exists to personally enrich Hillary Clinton, when in fact the Clinton Foundation keeps poor people with HIV from dying. The Trump Foundation, however, seems to exist to […]

Artist’s rendering of Donald Trump. iStock Today, in the sad ravings of a racist baby carrot dipped in hummus: Donald Trump apparently can’t stop taking the bait. When Hillary Clinton debated him on Monday, she seemed to be taking cues from the Elizabeth Warren Playbook, getting under his skin at every opportunity, especially over former […]

Even Trump’s aides have had it up to here with him. JStone / Shutterstock.com If the timestamps on this morning’s tweetstorm are any indication, Trump didn’t get much sleep last night. But it’s hard to see how he managed to get any sleep at all this whole week. First he loses the presidential debate. Big […]

Evan El-Amin / Shutterstock.com Donald Trump said this during the debate last night: “You know, Hillary is hitting me with tremendous commercials. Some of it’s said in entertainment. Some of it’s said—somebody who’s been very vicious to me, Rosie O’Donnell, I said very tough things to her, and I think everybody would agree that she […]

All eyes were on the debate, if trends on social media are any […]
