I can understand why people who self-identify as “hardcore” Republicans (or Democrats) are unfailingly loyal to the Republican Party (or Democratic Party). However, I do not understand why people are so unfailingly loyal to Trump.

As a kid, I was also a frequent standby passenger as my dad was an airline employee. When I was old enough to travel alone, I was specifically told that I had to dress nicely (collar shirts, dress slacks and dress shoes) if I wanted a shot at getting an empty first class seat. I was unusually lucky (got those first…

The level of incompetence is beyond mind-blowing.

Yes. And please do not hesitate to report them, regardless of immigration status.

Every Republican from 2010 through 2016: “I’m going to repeal Obamacare!”

I’ve run into this too. I probably shouldn’t have used terms to make it sound like I think Trumpers are uneducated or idiots. It’s just frustrating that to they view things through the prism of Good or Bad, “With Us” or “Against Us,” with no ability to ponder and consider that governing the United States requires the…

In her defense, the Republican Party is pretty much a joke in Hawaii and has been since statehood in 1959. A Republican did win the Governors race in 2002 and 2006 but outside of that, Republicans typically have no realistic shot at winning elections in most areas of the state. The GOP candidates that do have a shot…

It’s an effective technique with people who love him because they are fucking simpletons. Their world view is that everything can be framed in Black and White terms, i.e., Good v. Evil. They have no analytic capabilities and have idea how process or understand complexity and nuance and that there are rarely absolutes…

I’ve tried not to push the panic button with all the weirdness with Trump and his Trumptards but this is a scenario that is downright scary because it’s not very far-fetched.

Here’s a “foolproof” way to find out if Trump really conspired with the Russians (w/o the risk of leaking classified information)? Get that WaPo “satire” writer to do piece which basically claims Trump is too stupid to have conspired with the Russians.

Briebart, Info Wars, etc. calling him a “RINO” in ... 3 ... 2 ...

For what its worth, when I think of “fiscal conservatism” and elimination of “big government” programs, I’m thinking about corporate welfare.

Now that #BoycottHawaii is trending on Twitter and it appears that a bunch dumbass Trumptards are boycotting the 808 (i.e., they’re no longer “thinking” about visiting Hawaii) let me offer a few reasons for any Trumptards who are on the fence about taking part in this boycott:

Unfortunately, politics has become too much like sports fandom thanks to the rise of Cable News Talk Shows and the Internet. Fox cultivates extreme loyalty from its Republican base and they’ve been preaching that the Democrats, the “guvmint,” the “dirty libruls,” the gays, the brown immigrants, and the scary black…

She’s definitely running low on new ways to invent more bullshit answers but she has to start giving interviews again to get back in Donald’s good graces. Summer Huckabee Sanders is gaining fast as the preferred Trump-bot talking head and in this administration, your worth is tied directly to how often you show up on…

I think this is absolutely spot on. She saw that there’s a new challenger (Huckabee Sanders) to her status as the go-to woman to spout the company line on the talk show circuit and thought “Uh-oh, time for me to get out there are start slinging more bullshit on the Tee-Vee so I can get noticed! ... Hey Donald! Did you…

We already know what will happen:

If you have to ask about spam, you won’t understand the answer. Just know that “Spam Musubi” - a modified rice ball with nori, spam, furikake and a cooked egg - is heaven on earth for about 99.9 percent of people who were born and bred in the 808.

Being an eccentric, unhinged and unstable billionaire is cute when you’re a part-time real estate developer/reality television personality. Heck, I’d argue that those qualities are required. Not so much when you are in charge of the United States of America with access to the military and nuclear codes, and…

The $25 million signing bonus is paid in full when the contract is signed. The team can prorate the bonus at $5 million per year over 5 years if wants to, or it can prorate the signing bonus at a higher number for a shorter number of years. It’s pretty common for teams to prorate signing bonus unevenly (larger amounts…
