As the 2020 election gears up, it seems apparent that Mike Pence's days as vice president are numbered. Trump's preference is obvious: Kim Jong Un. The vice-presidential candidate often plays the attack dog in a campaign -- hurling invectives, slinging mud and taking the heat for expressing the id of the candidate, who can remain more statesmanlike. Not that Trump has ever shied from exercising his terrible tongue, but this go-round, as it increasingly appears that former Vice President Joe Biden could whup him in the general election, Trump has resorted to quoting other reckless idiots. In Kim, the erstwhile "Little Rocket Man," Trump has found a loyal pup to yip for him. Recently, when North Korea's state media referred to Biden as a "fool of low IQ," Trump first gave cover to his pet, dismissing North Korea's recent missile tests, then expressed his appreciation for Kim's loyalty and his legendary wit:"North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, … [Read more...] about The unsettling symbiosis between Trump, Un

Trump says he may decide on national emergency in ‘next few days’
President Donald Trump made it clear to Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he will “most likely” declare a national emergency to build his border wall and suggested that he’d decide on it “over the next few days.”Speaking to Hannity during his visit to the border at McAllen, Texas, on Thursday, Trump said he’d likely declare the emergency if he couldn’t reach a deal with Democrats in Congress for funding to begin building the wall.“If we don’t make a deal with Congress, most likely I will do that,” Trump said. “I would actually say I would.”“I can’t imagine any reason why not, because I’m allowed to do it.

For the sharp-toothed comedians who prowl the grounds of late-night TV looking for prey, President Donald Trump this week was a veritable sitting duck. One by one, they took their turns sinking their teeth into the tasty morsels that the president, earlier in the day, had laid out like a Vegas-style all-you-can-eat smorgasbord for our national comedy corps. Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Trevor Noah were champing at the bit from the moment Trump addressed the nation for his prime-time address from the Oval Office, goosing his fan base and outraging his critics, all with the same set of controversial and maybe just downright fake facts and figures about the “national crisis” unfolding at our southern border. It was good timing on Trump’s … [Read more...] about Late-night jokesters pile on after Trump’s Oval Office speech
