Shhh, everybody... I think we're not supposed to notice that Donald Trump wrote this letter from his doctor himself. This is Trump's doctor. For serious. https://t.co/1OCR7rF5EE pic.twitter.com/LQkgFOCOOM — Neil Irwin (@Neil_Irwin) December 14, 2015 Would it be unsporting to point out that Donald Trump actually claimed a medical exemption from the draft ...

Here's where US politics is in 2015: the leading presidential candidate of the Republican Party is seen as a "golden opportunity" by the nation's white supremacist groups. For example, Stormfront, a center of racist hatred for years, is now having to upgrade their web servers to deal with the increased traffic. ...

So a few days ago, RedState founder and raving right wing loon Erick Erickson tweeted a blatantly racist message about his upbringing, claiming his parents never let him eat "Asian food" on December 7th because they were "children of WWII." Growing up, I remember my parents never letting us have Asian ...

Here's an absolutely perfect convergence of ideologies, pointed out today in an LGF comment by "Lidane." If you search Google Images for "crippled america," the title of Donald Trump's book, you'll also find... "Mein Kampf," the manifesto of none other than Adolf Hitler. It's pretty obvious why this fortuitous match-up occurs -- ...

Credit: ObserverArt Today, Josh Earnest pulled no punches calling out Donald Trump's fascist call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, saying it "disqualifies him from serving as president."

Donald Trump went on MSNBC's Morning joe today and explained his brilliant plan for preventing Muslims from entering the US, and I just can't even.

SoundCloud This may seem like a fringe conspiracy theory, but I'm starting to see this delusion repeated all over the conservative universe; they actually believe President Obama is deliberately importing "terrorists" (read: refugees) in order to have an excuse to take away our precious guns. Louie Gohmert's word salad explains the "reasoning" ...

Donald Trump continues his campaign to exploit every bigoted right wing talking point and hateful meme: Trump: Islamic terrorism will get solved when Obama ‘gets the hell out’.

Marco Rubio isn't entirely wrong about the no-fly list; it is overly broad, violates due process, and there are people on it who probably shouldn't be. But in what world does it make sense to say that someone shouldn't be allowed on an airplane because they're a possible threat -- ...

YouTube Ben Carson accuses President Obama of not understanding the Middle East, then goes in front of the Republican Jewish Coalition and pronounces "Hamas" as "hummus" -- over and over.
