Ah don't worry, we'll have forgotten about all these current issues by November.

I see Newt Gingrich thinks bringing back the House Un-American Committee.

That worked out really well last time.

I'm ok with anyone who owns a gun, as long as they don't object to reasonable background checks, and keep their guns securely locked away.


'Guns' are the least of my concerns when it comes to Trump.

Seems the Trump Foundation is now facing trouble for illegal campaign activity. Sweet.

Well he should have just used some of his own billions upon billions. I wonder why he didn't...

The list of GOP governors publicly stating they will not endorse or vote for Trump grows daily.

Interesting stuff. You can't blame the GOP for trying to overcome their demographic disadvantages by doing this, and it's definitely worked for them. The fact they were able to do this is the problem.

I heard this on the radio. Outrageous, of course. I agree, the GOP did nothing wrong. If people in the U.S. value democracy (questionable), they should work in each state for rational, impartial, nonpartisan redistricting. The data is collected by the government, some kind of a gps program could draw districts that are compact and not salamander-shaped.

Like rational firearm legislation and healthcare for all, this stuff shouldn't be difficult. Oh, wait...

Because he doesn't have it. He probably only has about $40 million of his own cash despite his claims of being 'worth' 10 billion.

In terms of cash, one wonders if it is even that much.

Why do we just have a look at his tax returns and get an idea. Oh, right...
