They don't call Donald Trump Twitler for nothing eh? And yesterday the deranged demagogue's tiny fingers were busy trying to live up to that reputation.By first pecking out this proclamation. In the manner of Big Brother.Before proceeding to ignore his own advice, and attack Saturday Night Live…Read more »

Montreal Simon: 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
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump’s Other Big Russian Problem
It was Donald Trump's first press conference in six months, and it was all that I expected it to be and more.There were more flags than I could count, he brought a bunch of paid staffers to act as cheerleaders.He lied like a thief, admitted the Russians may have hacked
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Labyrinth of Lies
In his book The Art of the Deal Donald Trump called his compulsive lying "truthful hyperbole," or "an innocent form of exaggeration."But they are lies, if his nose really did grow with every one he told, by now it would it would have had to be declared a dangerous weapon.And the way he reacted to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Tainted Presidency and the Magnificent Meryl Streep
As we all know, Donald Trump wants us to move on, and forget that his friend Vladimir Putin stands accused of deploying his cyber army to help him win the election.But it's just not going to work. You can't just wish away something like that, or try to shift the blame…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Keith Olbermann’s Message to Donald Trump’s Supporters
It would be almost unbelievable, if it wasn't happening in Trumpland where madness has replaced reason.U.S. intelligence officials have informed Donald Trump that Russia meddled in the U.S. election to help him win, but he's just shrugging it off. Or blaming the Democrats. And to make matters even worse, many
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Trump’s Bromance With Putin Overheated
You might think Donald Trump would want to keep his passionate bromance with Vladimir Putin under wraps, or at least under control.Especially after the Obama administration just punished his friend for allegedly trying to help Trump win the election.But yesterday when Putin refused to retaliate.In a head-spinning turn of events
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Hyde Trump and the Return of the Bernie Revolution
In my last post I wondered whether Donald Trump was mentally fit to be president, and how long we had to live before one of his tweets started World War III ?So Trump's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde act yesterday was definitely NOT reassuring. President-elect Donald Trump’s transition into the White House
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Donald Trump Too Deranged To Be President?
It's like a slow motion nightmare. Donald Trump is now just 23 days from being sworn in as president, and getting his hands on the nuclear codes.And it seems that the pressure is getting to him. He's in a highly agitated state, his bizarre Christmas card to America was badly received, as
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump’s Sad and Very Crazy Christmas
It has to be one of the most bizarre Christmas cards a president-elect has ever sent the American people. But it does tell you a lot about Donald Trump.No sense of the occasion or the true meaning of Christmas. No family, not even Ivanka.Just HIMSELF, with his tiny fingers curled into
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump’s Betrayal of the American Working Class
As you can imagine for many progressives in the United States this is not a very happy holiday season.More like the nightmare before and after Christmas.But the good news, or small consolation, is that the ranks of the miserable will soon be swollen by many of Donald Trump's working class supporters.When
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump’s Itchy Twitter Fingers and the Inauguration Debacle
The scariest thing about Donald Trump's government by Twitter is the way his mind wanders, from the important to the trivial. Or from one button to another.One moment he's pressuring Obama to veto an anti-settlement resolution at the United Nations.The next moment he's humiliating Newt Gingrich. And then out of the blue he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump’s Insane War on Wind Turbines
Of all the horrible things Donald Trump is threatening to do, and there are so many, his promise to end the war against climate change is the worst.For there is no greater threat to the future of humanity, and his claim that climate change is a hoax is not just wrong, it's
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump’s Sad But Predictable Inauguration Problems
Donald Trump is less than a month away from being sworn in as president and moving into the White House, but he is reportedly not happy.His Thank You Tour is over, he can no longer bathe in the adulation of his fanatical supporters, which he loves to do sooooo much.He is
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Nobody Should Ever Normalize Donald Trump
It wasn't a surprise, but it was depressing, and it was another grim milestone on the way to the darkness of Trumpland.Despite all the e-mails, the petitions, and the protests, Donald Trump is now officially the president in waiting of the United States. There were many protesters but few faithless electors
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Basket of Deplorables
I'm sure you all remember the day Hillary Clinton called some of Donald Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables"And I'm sure you remember how Trump howled with outrage, and managed to turn Clinton's comment into a rallying cry.So I'm glad to see that Trump now admits that Clinton was right, and that
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Spectre of Treason
The only thing scarier than thinking about what Donald Trump might do to our neighbours, is thinking what he might do to the planet.Because not only is he planning to torch it, by ending the war on climate change. His foreign policy plans are as dangerous and as crazy as he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Trying To Come To Terms With The Grim Year 2016
Like so many others I will always remember the year 2016 as an absolute nightmare, an annus horribilis if ever there was one.A year that began promisingly in the still smouldering ruins of Harperland.But ended with a world seeming to spin out of control, the agony of Aleppo, and the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Restaurant Review From Hell
As we all know Donald Trump is always raging about the way the media treats him, the lying media as he likes to call them.And encouraging his 17-million Twitter followers to go after them.He has attacked the New York Times and the Washington Post for exposing his shady deals, he has blasted NBC

If you put a toga on him he would look like an American Caesar.Donald Trump basking in the warm glow of his inflamed supporters, as he continues his triumphal "Thank You Tour" of his conquered country.Swaggering around one stage after the other, bragging about how great he is, soaking up
