It's time to stop making fun of Donald Trump
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sat, 07/18/2015 - 5:55pmComedians love him. Donald Trump is practically a caricature of himself. He's so rediculous he should be an asterisk in the polling results.
Yet Trump leads all Republicans in the polls. Not just one poll, not just one state, and not just one week. Why?
Most people write it off as a fluke. It's not sustainable. It's just a temporary embarrassing moment in American politics.

Les Beastiables Cartoon Friday: Presidential Candidate Scott Weaselker!
Submitted by elenacarlena on Fri, 07/17/2015 - 4:15pmLes Beastiables ("Les Bez"): Beasties say the darnedest things!
Today's Beastiable is Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who has now announced his candidacy for the Presidency. He has said many beastly things, as admirably reported by Daily Kos' esteemed Puddytat. Thus, now that he has announced, he has earned his turn as one of Les Beastiables.
NOTE FOR NEW READERS: This series features a new Les Beastiables cartoon every Friday afternoon here at caucus99percent. We indulge in a little Franglish because the French are tres classy. But I digresse.
For serious source information, please join me below for the squirming of beasties on the hot seat. Then you'll be able to "cleanse your palate" with a cute photo before you leave.
