Donald Trump has just completed the first year of his second occupation of the White House. And now that the congressional midterm elections are approaching, this might be a good time to review what he and his MAGA Republican comrades have done in that year. Let’s begin where Trump began, with Congress passing his so-called […]
It doesn’t take much to get Donald Trump to lash out at some perceived injury to his massive yet fragile ego.

The trends have been taking shape for several years. The Republican Party began devolving into a conspiracy theory factory with crackpots like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck setting the tone for its political messaging.

The numerous accounts of his deliberately falsifying his resume with self-aggrandizing tales of journalistic heroism continue to be the source of deserved criticism and ridicule. The latest dishonorable mention for O’Reilly comes from comedian Bill Maher, who was […]
In an op-ed for the New York Times, Bill Maher addressed the ongoing controversy over civility (or the lack thereof) by public figures in broadcasting, entertainment, and politics.
