My colleagues, @LOLGOP and our founder and editor of @Eclectablog, Chris Savage, have done a tremendous job and public service in keeping us all up to date and providing both reasonable, rational truth and yes, even well reasoned opinion, as to why @realDonaldTrump would be a disaster as our president and Commander in Chief. And, to some degree, we do […]

As you likely know by now, Donald Trump, addressing a group of veterans, let them know that he believes soldiers returning to the USA with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) aren’t strong and “can’t handle” being in combat: When people come back from war and combat, they see things that maybe a lot of the folks in this room have seen […]

Even Trump’s “outreach” is coded to play to the worst stereotypes of the right It’s now almost impossible to tell the difference between Donald Trump and the hordes of online trolls who back him. He traffics in batshit conspiracy theories, stays up late to harass women online and then brags about it as a symbol of his virility. For a […]

The Detroit News came out with their endorsement for president this morning and, for the first time in the newspaper’s history, the did NOT endorse a Republican. They also didn’t endorse a Democrat.

A new ad from the Clinton campaign highlights his past posturing as a womanizing cad quick […]

How to turn Trump’s vicious personal attacks into an attack on all Americans Hillary Clinton in Michigan August 11, 2016. We shouldn’t underestimate what Hillary Clinton is facing when she steps on the stage for the first presidential debate next week. Donald Trump may or may not be a master debater — I’ll leave that to Politifact. But he’s definitely […]

ScienceDebate.org, a coalition of fifty-six leading U.S. nonpartisan organizations, including the American Chemical Society of which I am a member, recently sent a comprehensive questionnaire to the four major presidential candidates. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson declined to participate. The answers given by the other three candidates give us a very good look at their vision for our country, particularly […]

Donald Trump’s faceplant in front of a national audience in Flint yesterday has him rewriting history one day later in an effort to shift the narrative of his epic fail. As I wrote yesterday, Trump was four minutes into a five minute and forty-seven second speech when pastor Rev. Faith Green Timmons came up to the podium and interrupted his […]
