Donald Trump: The Misogynist Pig
We all know that Trump is a pig, and The New York Times recently endeavored to chronicle his misogyny. At best a shower will be needed after reading this; at worst, bleaching your eyes.
Saturday Open Thread [5.14.16]
It was him. Donald Trump is a pathetic weak little man.
Josh Marshall:
Muslim-smashin', Mexican-bashin' tough guy Donald Trump seems to have been caught red-handed denying that he impersonated a non-existent spokesman to tell reporters how awesome he is. (Meet Trump Organization spokesman John Miller, who you can't meet because he doesn't exist.) Trump denied this notwithstanding the fact that he admitted to doing this in a legal deposition years ago. The story was bubbling all day. But when The Washington Post (attack organ run by Trump Arch-Nemesis Jeff Bezos) confronted him with the deception on the phone, he first went silent on the reporters and then hung up.

The Failure of Crony-Capitalism
Will Bunch is always worth a close read, and his piece in the 12 May Philly Inquirer (h/t to anonymous in the Thursday Open Thread) is no exception. I've had this open in a tab since last night and have been thinking alot about his question: Money monster: What if the problem's not the candidates but capitalism?
I actually agree with Christine O’Donnell, and think Mike Castle is wrong
Here's something I never thought I'd write in a million years - Christine O'Donnell is right.
A Self-Respecting Feminist?
Yesterday's comment section was, indeed, nuts, but when I went back and reread it several things jumped out at me. First, the incorrect use and expectation of feminism. Let's start…
Markell is the Fourth Most Popular Governor in the Country.
Delaware's Jack Markell is the country's most popular Democratic governor, at least according to a new Morning Consult Poll.
A Quick Lesson in Clintonese
Turns out the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server is actually an investigation and not a security inquiry as Clinton calls it.
Thursday Open Thread [5.12.16]
“Joe Biden took months to decide he wouldn’t run for president — but he was sold on Elizabeth Warren as his running mate from the start,” people familiar with the situation told Politico.
“And he still thinks the Massachusetts firebrand would be Hillary Clinton’s best choice to replace him as the nation’s No. 2 in January 2017.”
I'm convinced it is going to happen. Warren solves the Bernie problem completely, and she has been auditioning for the role of attack dog during her Twitter War with Trump. And she is awesome. Clinton-Warren!!!
The Inauthenticity of So-Called Progressives Repeating Right Wing Talking Points
So let's take a look at where this "Clinton is inauthentic" talking point comes from. Because with the exception of one thing, we're going to be listening to so-called progressives lazily repeating bullshit talking points from wingnuts for a few months. For this cycle, it seems to have started as early as 2 years ago:
