"Republicans have decided the only way they can pass a bill that is weak, that is a loser, is to exclude the public."

Thank you, Congressman Doggett.

So who is still desperate enough to jump into the raging dumpster fire that is the Trump administration?

Clearly only the most utter political and human failures with nothing left to lose.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) will be named the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for Food and Agriculture, the Kansas City Star reports.

Trump Dossier Analysis

Sometime soon the Republicans are going to have to make a choice. This evidence is piling up.

While the news and everyone is focusing on Carson's slave comment, there were OTHER insane things he said during that time. Colbert covered a few of them because... holy s**t were there some statements that were just as bad.

I want a hit of whatever acid Ben Carson has been taking...

I'm pretty sure the choice has already been made.

the war drums in Utah are getting loud, I don't think Chaffetz realizes he stands a damn good chance of getting voted OUT

He's not Dr. Carson. He's Dr. Frankenstein.

My husband compared it to the image of the student standing up to the tank in Tienanmen Square

He's not Dr. Carson. He's Dr. Frankenstein.

I certainly do find myself wondering exactly what goes through this guy's head when he's just having a ham sandwich at home alone.

Study: Hillary Clinton Ran One of the Worst Campaigns in Years

A new study by the Wesleyan Media Project has found that the 2016 presidential campaign run by Hillary Clinton is without a doubt one of the worst-run political operations in years.

Interestingly, the directors of the study dispute the argument that “advertising doesn’t matter” in elections. Clinton’s failure to advertise in certain key states, they argue, was the biggest reason for her defeat by Donald Trump.

The study also backs the view that Clinton’s focus on identity politics and emphasis on condemning her opposition contributed to a campaign message devoid of substance with no clear message on policy.
