We Could Try Laughing Him Out Of Office

Gif of DailyShow’s version of the BBC toddler photobomb starring Spicey, Kellyanne, Uncle Ben and Trumpy.

Tracey Ullman’s dead-on parody of the kind of interview assault victims have to endure with insensitive male law officers.

I include this because this is the kind of nasty mindset Trump has legitimized and elevated, making all of us feel embarrassed and insulted.

Trolling Trump. (The left can play this game too.) The Indian a cappella group doing their Trump version of a Village People classic.

The Onion gets a cease and desist letter from White House for making fun of the Orange Orangutan in Chief. The New Yorker reports.

The Founding Principles of Kiss Up, Kick Down.

I came across an interesting article from the Economic Policy Institute. Look at the graph. 1. Reaganomics killed the middle class 2. Productivity rose by a greater percentage when workers were paid better.

The business end of the Reaganomics tool sees need and vulnerability as a business plan and profit opportunity, an opportunity to exploit people. The Washington Post describes ways hospitals exploit the uninsured by jacking up their costs.

That was the hospital/healthcare business, here’s how they exploit need in the judicial/penal business. John Oliver explains. (Funny and true as hell.)

The poster child for pure Reaganomics is the state of Kansas, where Governor Brownback hoped to prove lower taxes would increase revenue like Papa Reagan promised. I’ll let Doonesbury explain how well that works out...

And SLATE reports that if the Kansas courts rule against him, Brownback “has a way of shutting that whole thing down.”

If Reagan was the messiah, who wrote the gospels? (Ayn Rand. Here are some interesting conclusions we're meant to draw from Atlas Shrugged.)

A purer libertarian and Republican world functions on a mixture of wishful thinking and “I don’t have to if I don’t want to.” This one's from The Onion, which is nearly as hilarious as Ayn Rand herself.
