James Comey and the E-Mail Scandal That Never Was

Until the U.S. election FBI director James Comey had a fairly decent reputation, as a Republican who claimed he had no time for partisan politics.

But then in July when he cleared Hillary Clinton of criminal charges in her e-mail investigation, he chastised her publicly for being "reckless" when he should have kept his mouth shut.

And then late last month he sent a letter to Congress to let everybody know that the FBI was examining a new batch of e-mails found in the laptop of the sexting pervert Anthony Weiner.

Donald Trump and the Zombie Apocalypse

I spent most of yesterday trying to ignore the U.S. election for a day, by staying off the internet, reducing my exposure to CNN to three minutes at the most etc etc.

So I might have a fighting chance of making it to next Tuesday, without going crazy.

But sadly it just didn't work. Not when Donald Trump's zombies are within striking distance of the presidency, and most of the world is holding its breath...or whatever. 

Naturally, the rest of the human race is on the edge of its seat right now. Pop a weather balloon over the Western hemisphere and half the world will pee itself. Small island nations will be flooded.

And not when for a moment I thought that somebody had tried to kill Trump.

The Existential Threat of the Monster Donald Trump

As you know ever since Donald Trump announced that he was running for president, I have portrayed him as a monster.

And tried to make fun of his absurd delusion that he is fit to be the president of any country, let alone the United States.

But with just four days to go before the Day of Judgement, and polls suggesting that Trump is now dangerously close to Hillary Clinton. 

I think the time has come to be deadly serious, and do what must be done to defeat this ugly fascist.

Melania Trump's Absurd and Self Defeating Speech

I never thought that Melania Trump would appear in public again, after she was caught in flagrante delicto plagiarizing Michelle Obama at the Republican convention.

But Donald Trump is desperate to try to win back some of the hordes of Republican women who have fled his clutches, so he forced her to make another campaign speech.

And sadly for Trump, and poor Melania, it also bombed.

She was as wooden or as robotic as ever. She had trouble keeping up with the autocue.

And her vow to lead the charge against cyberbullying if she becomes first lady couldn't have been more absurd.

Donald Trump's Creepy and Smutty Novel

In Los Angeles yesterday, a woman who claims that Donald Trump raped her when she was thirteen, was supposed to hold a news conference.

But it was cancelled at the last minute after her lawyer said her life had been threatened and she was living in fear. 

A woman who accuses Donald Trump of raping her when she was just 13 has pulled out of a press conference after allegedly receiving death threats. The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, alleges that Trump raped her at a party in 1994.

And while we can't know at this point who is telling the truth, Trump is a serial liar and a sexual predator.

And I find this deeply disturbing.

Hillary Clinton and the Republican War on Women

When I watched Hillary Clinton campaigning yesterday, I was impressed by the angry defiant look on her face. 

And by the fact that she's still standing. For it has been a brutal week.

She has been stabbed not once but twice in the back by the FBI. 

A rise in Obamacare premiums has given Donald Trump another weapon to use against her.

And while most polls still show Clinton ahead.

She must be hearing Trump's heavy breathing behind her...

Donald Trump and the Return of the Daisy Girl

As we all know, Donald Trump is a threat to everything decent in America. 

From its women and girls, who he would grope like a beast, to its democracy he would defile and degrade. 

He would plunge the world into the greatest recession since the Great Depression.

But the greatest threat he poses is to the planet itself.

Why the FBI's E-Mail Scandal Won't Make Trump President

OK. Now it really is a horror show, and a living nightmare, just as I predicted.

With only ten days to go before the American election, and Donald Trump closing in on Hillary Clinton.

Clinton gets mugged by the FBI, dragged into another episode of her never ending e-mail scandal.

And yes, it doesn't get any worse than this...

Donald Trump and the Zombie Revolution

I must admit I'm not quite sure how this zombie horror show is going to end. 

But I'm pretty sure that the final episode of this nightmare season is going to be one of the scariest nights of our lives.

Because forget the new season of The Walking Dead, this is terrifying. 

Not because I don't believe Hillary Clinton will beat Donald Trump.

But because I fear that a close result could lead to catastrophe.

The Day Donald Trump Revealed His Inner Demons

As we all know, it's sometimes hard to tell whether Donald Trump is an extreme narcissist, or a clinical psychopath, or a sexual predator, or a raging maniac.

Or all of the above. 

But now we find out that on a rare occasion when Trump revealed his inner demons, they turned out to be more pathetic than frightening.

Donald Trump, the Anti-Lincoln, and the Nightmarish Election

There are now only sixteen days to go before the U.S. election, but they promise to be   some of the scariest days of our lives. 

For Donald Trump and his Trumplings are still a nightmare in progress.

And there was Trump yesterday, on what he called the "hollowed ground" of Gettysburg.

Where the great Abraham Lincoln so famously tried to heal the wounds of a nation.

Delivering the anti-Gettysburg address.

Donald Trump and the Lost Democratic Traditions of America

As we all know, Hillary Clinton had Donald Trump for dinner at their final debate Wednesday night.

But not before he had called her a "nasty woman" and threatened not to accept the election result.

For as we also know, Trump is a bad loser. 

But at least yesterday he made it clear what the decent people of America must do to avoid a post-election nightmare.

Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and the WikiLeak's E-Mails

They will face each other for the last time in Las Vegas tonight, and for Donald Trump it will be his last chance to try to stop Hilary Clinton from becoming the first female president of the United States.

And burying him in a landslide. 

It’s now or never for Donald Trump.

Trump now lags Hillary Clinton in the RealClearPolitics national polling average by about 7 percentage points, a margin that suggests he is in danger of being routed on Nov. 8.

And Trump is no doubt hoping that Hillary Clinton's WikiLeak's e-mails will damage her enough to save him from disaster.

Darth Trump and the Trump Family Brand

Like many others, I don't believe that Donald Trump ever thought he would become the Republican candidate for president, when he launched his campaign sixteen months ago.

I believe that all he was interested in was getting a lot of free publicity, and boosting the Trump brand.

So I thought it might be interesting to look at how that brand is doing after all that has happened and all those scandals.

And as it turns out, the answer is not so good.

The Real Problem With Donald Trump's CNN Surrogates

About two weeks ago I wrote a post where I said that the only thing worse than watching Donald Trump in full fury, was having to listen to his screaming surrogates on CNN.

And this doesn't help.

Not when Corey Lewandowski is reportedly being paid $500,000 by CNN, while apparently still working for Trump.

But the worst thing about those surrogates is that not only are they incredibly annoying, CNN's decision to employ them is also a threat to American democracy.

How to Escape Donald Trump's Monstrous Horror Movie

Yes I know, I vowed to try to tune out the Donald Trump horror movie this weekend, to remind myself that the world isn't THAT crazy. 

But it isn't easy. Not with the deranged demagogue now running wild, and suggesting that Hillary Clinton was on drugs during the last debate.  

“We should take a drug test prior because I don’t know what’s going on with her. But at the beginning of her last debate — she was all pumped up at the beginning, and at the end it was like, ‘Oh, take me down.’ She could barely reach her car.”

After his sniffling, snuffling performance, that had many wondering whether he was suffering from a bad case of coke nose.

So I give thanks that in the midst of this madness there are videos to distract me.

How Canadians Are Helping To Defeat Donald Trump

Judging by this sign, and what I've seen and heard in Montreal and Toronto, if Donald Trump ran for office in Canada, he'd get even less votes than the Cons, and just a few more than the Bloc Québécois.

Most Canadians I've met are disgusted by that loathsome demagogue, and hate him almost as much as most Americans.

And I'm sure even more of them are going to feel that way after they read what that grubby sexual predator did to a Canadian woman.

Robert De Niro On The Hoggy Bozo Donald Trump

A lot has been said or written about Donald Trump's disgusting remarks about women.

And I've made my position clear.

But while I like what Hillary Clinton has to say about that sexual predator.

Donald Trump's Disgraceful and Disgusting Non Apology

I can only imagine what the atmosphere must have been like at the Trump Tower last night.

But it couldn't have been pretty.

The panic, the wailing, the sheer desperation. And the old hog bellowing "I'm better than Bill Clinton, and I will make America Great Again #!!@#!!!

But when shortly after midnight, Donald Trump and his Trumplings finally agreed on a statement, it couldn't have been more inadequate, or more disgusting.

Has Donald Trump Just Destroyed His Own Campaign?

We already knew that Donald Trump was a sexist hog and a grubby misogynist. 

We knew he called women pigs and dogs.

We knew he was a dirty old man.

But this should just about finish him off.
