Here’s the Weird Anti-Terrorist Trash Talk That Stayed on Donald Trump’s Cutting Room Floor After the Manchester Attack

After an ISIS terrorist murdered children attending a concert in England, Donald Trump weighed in, saying that he would no longer call terrorists monsters because they probably like that moniker. Instead, the middle school-mentality president said, he would use the term “evil losers,” a riff on his favorite insult. What other phrases may this brilliant rhetorician have considered before settling on evil losers?

U2: World’s Laziest Band

U2 plans to tour “The Joshua Tree,” its 1987 album, all over again, to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Can’t they do something new?

Democrats Are An Even Bigger Mess Than the Republicans

All the attention is on the crises surrounding the Republicans because of the possibility that Trump will get impeached. What everyone’s missing is that the Democrats are an even bigger mess because the corporatist wing still hasn’t made nice with the progressive base of the party who supported Bernie Sanders but didn’t vote in the general election.

Trump Really Will Drain the Swamp, But Not How You Think

Talk of impeachment is already swirling around President Donald Trump. If it happens, his personality makes it highly unlikely he’ll go quietly. You just know he’ll take a lot of other top Republicans, and God knows who else, with him. In a way, then, he may finally end up “draining the swamp” as he promised to do during his campaign (but failed to do with his corrupt cabinet appointments.)

Non-Competes

One out of six American workers, including manual and low-level laborers, are forced to sign non-compete agreements. It’s abusive, it’s strange, and studies say wages are 10% lower on average as a result.

The Handmaid’s Tale, Spun

The Hulu adaptation of the novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” is being interpreted through the lens of the political orientation of viewers.

Doomcare

House Republicans voted to overturn the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Now it’s off to the Senate. Because the House vote was considered political suicide, triumphant Democrats began taunting Republicans on the floor of the Congress, on national TV. You’d hardly know lives were at stake.

Russia Ate Hillary’s Homework

Hillary Clinton spoke out about her loss in the election, claiming that she would have been elected president if not for FBI director James Comey’s letter saying he was reopening an investigation into her emails, and Russia’s supposed meddling in the election via releasing DNC emails through WikiLeaks. She didn’t let the fact that there still isn’t any evidence that Russia had anything to do with it, or her own mistakes in the campaign, interfere with her bizarre claims.

Outside Linear Time, The Donald

In an interview Donald Trump revealed that he didn’t understand why the Civil War happened. Moreover, he said that his hero Andrew Jackson would have put a stop to it. The problem with that theory is that Jackson died nearly two decades before the outbreak of the Civil War. Perhaps there’s an explanation for what looks like rank ignorance.

I’ll Take the Stooge

Mainstream Democrats want progressives still angry about what the DNC did to Bernie Sanders to join their “Resistance” to Donald Trump. While progressives agree that Trump is loathsome, many hesitate to join in until the party makes moves to show that it has learned the lesson of the 2016 election, that they ignored the left-wing base of their party at their peril.
