Fact-checking the debate

PolitiFact have done their thing:

On Trump

I am feeling ranty. I have come to the conclusion that anyone remotely supporting Trump doesn't warrant interaction. He's the biggest douche in the world and to think that so many Americans are putting their stall in him is a damning indictment of that country and

Sam Harris on Trump - Spot On

This is another must listen. Sam Harris nails it on Trump. This should start at the right moment- but the player is playing up. Go to about 5m19. The section I am talking about is the bit before Harris talks about the recent killings in Orlando and Trump's

Trump, Christianity and the Religious Right

I reported the other day on how some are seeing Trump as a "baby Christian" who has newly embraced the faith, taking his baby steps but not yet speaking the clear words of Christian religiosity. This was announced by James Dobson. Salon reports him as saying: Only the

Appeasing the Evangelicals: Trump Is a "Baby Christian"

This is how the evangelical right in America will now treat Trump in order to have a coherent campaign to get a Republican voted in. And it works for Trump too. Where he can court Christians and Christianity, and secretly not give two hoots, he can also stay onside with

Orlando, Radical Islam and Trump

This is a very quick one as I have a trapped nerve in my back and typing is very painful. First of all, I hope the families of those involved are getting all the support they need. Real, tangible, non-prayery help. It's terrible. My gut reaction is that

Brilliant: Owen Jones Interviews Michael Moore

Owen Jones (whom I have met and is a lovely guy) interviews the trailblazing Michael Moore in this fascinating 13 minutes. From Bush to Blair to Clinton to Obama to Brexit and Universal Healthcare. Oh, and Trump. Enjoy: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLevrVBCqI[/youtube]

White Supremacy and the US Presidency

This is a meme going about the internet at the moment, but I think it is pretty much on the money. What do you think? When a faithfully married black president who was the son of a single-mother, the first black editor of Harvard Law review and a professor of

Clinton Most Reliable, Trump Highest Proportion of Lies, Research Finds

Politifact have been researching the reliability of claims by candidates in the US primaries, and the Republicans do not come out well, especially ole Trumpy. DailyNewsBin reports: The trendy knock on Hillary Clinton, even among those who acknowledge that she’s the most capable and knowledgeable of the 2016 candidates

Trump IS Inciting Violence and Hatred. He Should Be Stopped

This is a terrible state of affairs. Watch this. It is very, very worrying. (You might need to turn your ad blocker off to see the video). Trump's campaign has been based around convincing voters that America isn't great and that he is the solution to

Marco Rubio Goes To Town On Trump & The Media - His Best Moment?

If Rubio had been this forthright, sensible and erudite, he would have been in with a real chance, perhaps.

John Oliver Destroys Trump, I mean Drumpf

John Oliver is brilliant, for sure. But he outdoes himself here. There is some truly shocking stuff therein. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGc2nN9OguQ[/youtube]

Trump and the Iowa Wrestlers - Um, Totally Racist...

In case you haven't seen the video taken at a Iowa Trump rally, it is well worth a watch, if only to put your head in your hands and wonder about the modern world. What takes place can only be described as racist. In fact, some commenters to

Too good not to share. And then there is this (Thanks JedRothwell below):

My Succinct Trump/US Presidential Prediction

Holy cow, Trump is a scary prospect. Like a smiley Hitler with more money and less intelligence. [caption id="attachment_7320" align="aligncenter" width="550"] By thierry ehrmann from Saint Romain au Mont d'Or, France, Europe (Donald Trump, painted portrait _DDC9085) [CC
