The Danger of President Pence: Trump’s critics yearn for his exit. But Mike Pence, the corporate right’s inside man, poses his own risks.
If Only 'Being a Colossal Dick' Was an Impeachable Offense
Obama aides lash out after Trump claims past presidents didn't call fallen soldiers' families - "Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, called the president’s claim 'an outrageous and disrespectful lie even by Trump standards' and noted on Twitter that it was Trump, not Obama, who attacked a Gold Star family that had been critical of him."

A group of Catholics has charged Pope Francis with heresy. Here’s why that matters.
The scamming runs very, very deep
Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies - Made-up sob stories about family farms broken up to pay inheritance taxes, magical claims about self-financing tax cuts, and so on go all the way back to the 1970s. But the selling of tax cuts under Trump has taken things to a whole new level, both in terms of the brazenness of the lies and their sheer number. Both the depth and the breadth of the dishonesty make it hard even for those of us who do this for a living to keep track.
The Bannon Revolution - "Which is not to say Bannon is delusional. He and his allies are the latest group to recognize the void at the heart of the contemporary Republican Party, the vacuum that somebody, somehow needs to fill. The activists and enforcers of the Tea Party era tried with a libertarian style of populism. Paul Ryan tried with his warmed-over Jack Kempism. My friends the “reform conservatives” tried with blueprints for tax credits and wage subsidies. They all failed, and the Bannon crew actually got furthest, in the sense that they got the most unlikely figure imaginable elected president on something resembling their platform."
