Dan MurphyDonald Trump does a lot of bad and dirty things. Always has, always will. It's the nature of the beast.But the one that disgusts me the most, without the shadow of a doubt, is the sight of that morally depraved pervert posing as a pious person.Or a fake Christian…

In my last post I lamented the fact that the White House doctor had horrified people all over the world, by giving Donald Trump a clean bill of health.And by declaring that he was mentally competent, when just about everything he says or does seems to suggest the opposite.Which predictably enough
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Are You Ready For Donald Trump The Cartoon President?
I know it's not a nice thing to say, but I have to admit that when I saw the White House doctor declare that Donald Trump had passed a cognitive test with flying colours, I was both stunned and disappointed. President Trump’s White House physician said Tuesday that the president received a perfect

Donald Trump likes to think of himself as a super-sized patriot, with the only thing true about that being the size of his massive ego.For let's face it, it's not easy to call yourself a patriot of any size, after applying for and receiving five draft deferments to avoid being

Donald Trump is said to be in a desperate state. A man raging at the world.Michael Wolff's book Fire and Fury, and Steve Bannon's betrayal, have apparently driven him to the verge of a nervous breakdown.This tweet sent out late last night is a measure of his madness. And what

Once they were America's oddest political couple, the flaming dotard Donald Trump and the grubby boozer Steve Bannon.Five months ago, after he fired Bannon, Trump couldn't say enough nice things about his alt-right buddy.Now he's saying that the day Bannon was fired, he didn't just lose his job, he lost his

Donald Trump has been acting strangely for quite a while. Some moments he's there, some moments he isn't.But his sudden decision to grant New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt an interview two days ago, after spotting him having lunch at his Mar-A-Lago club, was bizarre even by his standards. And when his

I was doing some research for a year-end post, when I came across this cartoon, and I almost fell out of my chair laughing.To think that so many people ran or stumbled desperately towards 2017 thinking that they might find refuge there. Or sanity.And how did that work out?Read more

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas as much as I did, or at least had a better time than the turkey Donald Trump.For he spent the holiday making an absolute fool out of himself. First claiming that thanks to him Christmas was saved. No doubt to pleasure his hairy Christianist bigots,

As you know, I didn't think that Doug Jones, the Democratic candidate for Senator, had much of a chance of defeating the homophobic Bible thumping pervert Roy Moore.Not in backward Alabama, where ignorance is a virtue, religion is a weapon, and inbreeding is a major problem.In fact, I had already

Tomorrow, people in Alabama will vote to decide whether they want to make the religious fanatic, homophobic maniac, and alleged pedophile pervert Roy Moore, their newest Senator.Polls show that Moore has a five point lead over his Democratic opponent Doug Jones. And it being Alabama, a backward state if ever there was

It couldn't have been a more sordid, or scary spectacle. Donald Trump addressing a Make America Great Again rally in Pensacola, Florida.Weaponizing Christmas, and urging his deplorables across the border in Alabama to vote for Roy Moore. Because in Trump's rapidly degenerating mind, an old perv who sexually harassed teenage girls is still better

It was like the happy part of a nightmare, if you know what I mean. Brief but welcome. As I watched Donald Trump set fire to the Middle East. Just to pleasure his rabid religious base, and Daddy Big Bucks Sheldon Adelson. And of course, to try to distract Americans from all his legal problems.Trump started

Even though Donald Trump must be feeling terribly betrayed by Mike Flynn's decision to cooperate with Bob Mueller, and sing like a canary.As he should, because as I said earlier today, Flynn's testimony could end up sending Trump to the Big House. The Orange Oaf was able to stay off Twitter

Two days after Donald Trump was elected president, Barack Obama warned him not to hire Michael Flynn for any national security job.
