In a 60 Minutes special, the President stood in front of a painting that featured Donald Trump sharing a table with Republican presidents who came before him. The problem? Well, there’s a lot of problems, but the first being that Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln would not be considered Republicans by today’s standards. This picture reminds me of those pictures where someone painted James Dean hanging out with Marilyn Monroe and the Rat Pack. Or, better yet, those poker games where dogs are smoking cigars and having a drink. Having fanart in your home is fine and dandy and that is, essentially, what this painting is? However, considering the recipient of this art, let’s take a closer look. The only real accuracy of association comes from Trump’s close proximity to Richard Nixon in the painting. Ironically enough, they placed him right next to Nixon, and Trump is almost smiling at him as if he looks up to the man. Perhaps another accuracy is that … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Has a Painting Where He’s Surrounded by Laughing Republican Presidents

Alec Baldwin Returns to ‘SNL’ as Donald Trump to Parody Kanye West Meeting
Alec Baldwin reprised his President Donald Trump impression for the first time of Saturday Night Live’s 44th season during the cold open of Saturday’s episode. The sketch parodied the recent meeting Trump had with rapper Kanye West and football player Jim Brown. Chris Redd played West, who recently appeared as the musical guest this season and wore a Make America Great Again hat and gave an unaired pro-Trump speech after the episode. “Oh, my God, he’s black me,” Trump said after Redd’s West proved to have a huge ego. “This hat is like Superman’s hat,” Redd’s West said in regards to his MAGA hat. He rambled about several conspiracy theories, too. And references were made to the fact that he was seen typing in his cellphone password during the meeting. Longtime SNL castmember Kenan Thompson played Brown, who became increasingly more incredulous about Trump and West’s words as the sketch went on. “Black people love … [Read more...] about Alec Baldwin Returns to ‘SNL’ as Donald Trump to Parody Kanye West Meeting
Donald Trump Snaps at Leslie Stahl After She Reads Resume of Kim Jong Un Atrocities: ‘I’m Not a Baby, I Know These Things’
In an interview that aired Sunday night on 60 Minutes, President Donald Trump snapped at CBS News’ Lesley Stahl after she read a resume of atrocities commited by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. “He presides over a cruel kingdom of repression, gulags, starvation. Reports that he had his half-brother assassinated. Slave labor. Public executions. This is a guy you love?” Stahl asked. “I’m not a baby. I know these things,” Trump snapped before going on to explain that he gets along with him and saying he loved him is just a “figure of speech.” Then after Stahl pointed Kim was a “bad guy,” Trump said this: “Let it be whatever it is. I get along with him really well,I have a good energy with him. I have a good chemistry with him. Look at the horrible threats that were made. No more threats. No more threats.” In another part of the interview, he also called political people … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Snaps at Leslie Stahl After She Reads Resume of Kim Jong Un Atrocities: ‘I’m Not a Baby, I Know These Things’
Gary Johnson, Bill Schuette, Donald Trump and Michigan’s midterms
opinion Nancy Kaffer Detroit Free Press Published 6:00 AM EDT Oct 14, 2018 Here's what I'd be thinking about, if I were a Republican staring down a statewide election four weeks away: the 173,057 Michigan voters who chose Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson back in 2016. That's nearly seven times the number of Michiganders who cast ballots for 2008's Libertarian presidential candidate. It defies credulity to imagine that the number of Michigan Libertarians grew sevenfold in eight short years (sorry, Libertarians, but you know it's true). Rather, voters disinclined to choose either of two major-party candidates with strong unfavorable ratings opted for what seemed like a principled third choice, a course charted by the staunchly conservative Detroit News editorial board's Johnson endorsement.
