During his campaign, Donald Trump played the media over and over by making an outrageous statement, walking it back, making the outrageous statement again, walking it back again, etc. etc. ad nauseam. And one of the insane policy ideas he played this game with was his ban on immigration from Muslim ...

Poor Rage Furby. Chuck C. Johnson just can't seem to keep his social media accounts online. This might be because he keeps using them for scummy, vile purposes like outing and harassment, and promoting the neo-Nazis he hangs out with. And now the "Wesearchr" extortion/harassment scam site he created with fellow ...

At Donald Trump's bizarre narcissistic speech in front of the CIA's wall memorializing agents who lost their lives serving the US, one of the most jarring notes was the applauding and cheering when Trump blathered out his signature talking points, or when he bragged about how many times he'd been ...
