Jordan Sargent · 08/18/15 12:37PMGranted, this isn’t exactly Marco Rubio’s fault. No matter how old you are, if you’re going to run out for a pass, you should probably at least be able to prevent it from hitting you in the face. That said, “eager young kid unable to come through on the big stage” is a decent metaphor for Rubio’s career in national politics.

Ashley Feinberg · 08/16/15 07:25PMNoted Donald Trump enthusiast Donald Trump lied to a group of children yesterday during an incredible series of events that played out like the bleakest of CNN wet dreams. In a video posted to Facebook, a boy points a camera at the petulant clown running for president and asks, point-blank, if he is Batman. Trump’s response: “I am Batman.”

Brendan O'Connor · 08/16/15 11:45AMBen Carson Gives Himself Permission to Use Fetal Tissue, NO ONE ELSE
Ashley Feinberg · 08/13/15 12:50PMAfter weeks of GOP candidates pandering to the anti-Planned Parenthood masses, it looks like the one man who should know better re:fetal tissue donations—famed ex-neurosurgeon Ben Carson—actually does know better. Or at least, he did back in 1992 when he did his own research on 17-week fetal tissue. But, according to Carson, that was different.

Jay Hathaway · 08/07/15 02:50PMShortly after Donald Trump, a wispy corn husk wrapped around several stacks of sequential hundreds, announced his run for president in June, he suggested his nominee for Secretary of the Treasury would be billionaire businessman Carl Icahn. Icahn initially said he wasn’t interested, but after seeing Trump at last night’s GOP debate, has apparently changed his mind.

Ashley Feinberg · 08/06/15 07:41PMThe first (real, non-consolation prize) GOP debate begins at 9 p.m. How long will Donald Trump last before security forcibly escorts him out? How many times will the angry white men utter the word “rape” for no apparent reason? How many groups of minority voters will be spectacularly and irrevocably alienated? And how much of the beautiful light inside of each and every one of us will die before the madness finally stops? We’ll be here (with special guest Glenn Greenwald), starting at 8:45 Eastern to find out.
Lindsey Graham Ignores Debate Question To Recount His Lonely Life
Jordan Sargent · 08/06/15 06:45PMThe undercard to tonight’s GOP debate was a roundly depressing affair, as the seven runners-up wheezed hot, foul air into an empty basketball arena in Cleveland. But no moment was quite as sad, nor more human, than when Lindsey Graham took a moment to reflect on his lonely life.
