Read MoreIs the Trump campaign going broke?
Posted by Annie May / September 9, 2020Trump’s campaign war chest for 2020 was a whopping $1.1 billion, but a New York Times investigation has revealed that it has already spent some $800 million. Or, more accurately, it has already squandered that money on Super Bowl ads to compete with Michael Bloomberg (remember that time Bloomberg wanted to be president) and D.C.-targeted …
Read MoreMore fallout after Trump called war dead “suckers” and “losers”
Posted by Annie May / September 7, 2020The Atlantic editor-in-chief is catching flak for the bombshell story about Trump calling war dead “suckers” and “losers,” but the editor is standing by the reporting.

Read MoreTrump calls war dead “suckers” and “losers,” veterans are not pleased
Posted by Annie May / September 5, 2020According to a report by the Atlantic, when Trump lied about why he couldn’t visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in 2018, he insulted the dead buried there by calling them “suckers” and “losers” for dying in war. He also didn’t understand why the United States helped the Allies. Some veterans groups have, unsurprisingly, blasted Trump …
Read MoreDid Trump have a series of mini-strokes?
Posted by Annie May / September 3, 2020I’m not going to bury the lede here: we have no idea if Trump really had a series of mini-strokes, but there is weird evidence suggesting he might have. That evidence? A series of cryptic tweets from the president himself denying that he had a series of mini-strokes. The thing is, though, no media ever suggested …

Posted by Annie May / August 27, 2020While Eric Trump was making preposterous claims about Trump bringing peace to the Middle East (while his brother Don Jr. was secretly telling people that his father is going to get “really hurt”), the Lincoln Project was busy brutalizing the Trump campaign with this ad, which depicts Trump’s infamous border wall as a line of …

Posted by Annie May / August 24, 2020The Democratic National Convention was good for Joe Biden.

Posted by Annie May / August 23, 2020Yet another Republican has turned on Trump.

Read MoreThe USPS fiasco is even worse than we thought
Posted by Annie May / August 22, 2020Well, dammit. Earlier this week, the Postmaster General has agreed to stop all his “reforms,” which critics called blatant attempts to sabotage the election. I, personally, was foolish enough to believe him. But reports are coming out that the Post Office is still removing mail sorting machines. The machines that were returned, well, you won’t believe this, but …

Read MoreTrump isn’t doing regular intelligence briefings anymore
Posted by Annie May / August 13, 2020It’s amazing that people want to reelect Donald Trump to the highest office in the land, the office that is meant to be the Commander in Chief of the armed forces and the key defender of the United States and its interests when Trump has no interest in doing any of those things, as is evidenced by …
