Donald Trump and the Revenge of Puerto Rico



As I'm sure you know, Donald Trump's visit to Puerto Rico last week was the worst visit by a U.S. president, to any place, ever.

He insulted the people of that battered island by telling them to stop complaining because hurricane Katrina was worse. And they should save their energy to praise him instead.

He threw rolls of paper towels at them, and had to be restrained from throwing cans of chicken soup.

And as if that wasn't enough, he ended his Tour of Shame, by deliberately mispronouncing the name of the island.

Donald Trump and the Day of the Comey



I'm sure Donald Trump's White House minions are doing their best to prepare him for James Comey's Senate hearing today.

But it won't be easy, because it's going to be a big event.

So while Trump is threatening to live tweet the hearing, other Republicans are doing their best to discredit Comey.

By running attack ads like this one.

Donald Trump and the Day of Judgement



As you may know, today is the day Donald Trump will announce whether he will pull the United States out of the Paris Accord.

Momentous arguments inside the West Wing over the future of the Paris climate accord became a messy public spectacle on Wednesday, with some aides saying that President Trump had decided to abandon the landmark global warming agreement while others insisted that no decision had been made.

With the world watching nervously, the feuding among the president’s aides further exposed the fault lines of a chaotic decision-making process that has swirled around Mr. Trump since he took office.


And it's not surprising that the world is holding its breath, since not only is his government a mess, he's not in great shape either.

Samantha Bee on Donald Trump's Hard Power Budget



Well there he was yesterday, sitting behind the wheel of a monster truck, looking like he was about to start mowing down his many enemies, real or imagined.

But the truck wasn't moving, thank goodness. Donald Trump wasn't going anywhere.

And neither is his plan to destroy Obamacare.

President Trump issued an ultimatum on Thursday to recalcitrant Republicans to fall in line behind a broad health insurance overhaul or see their opportunity to repeal the Affordable Care Act vanish, demanding a Friday vote on a bill that appeared to lack a majority to pass.

So Trump is now giving Republicans an ultimatum, pass my bill today, or ELSE.

Samantha Bee On The Original Trump Haters



Scotland is a small, peaceful country, but one with a proud history of resistance dating back about two thousand years.

The people of that land have had to battle all kinds of invaders, from the Roman legions of the Emperor Hadrian, to in more modern times, the vulgar presence of the mad would be Emperor Donald Trump.

So these days when we too are called to resist him, and all can appear so dark and gloomy.

I thought you might enjoy Samantha Bee's humorous look at the original Trump haters.

Samantha Bee On Trump and the Golden Shower Scandal



I hesitate to write another post about Donald Trump's so-called Golden Shower or Peegate scandal, for several good reasons.

One, it's so disgusting once was enough. 

Two, it sounds too good to be true. 

And three, and most importantly, I don't want to distract attention away from the fascist kleptocracy Trump is preparing to unleash on our neighbours, and the rest of the world.

But how can I ignore that shocking story when it's all over the American networks?
