Marco Rubio is not a popular guy. Everywhere he goes, somebody is mad at him. Maybe most so when he is testifying on Capitol Hill. Which is a problem, because he works there.

A million years ago (okay, 2016) Donald Trump ran for President based on the idea that he wasn’t a career politician and he would be able to help real people deal with their real problems because he was a man of the people.

Donald Trump hasn’t made a public appearance in a week. Speculation is running rampant. (Maybe he’s taking an extended cognitive test?) In the meantime, he’s trotting out his band of merry gangsters to spread the bad news. One of his finest town liars is Kevin Hassett, Director of the National Economic Council of the United […] The post Trump’s top economic advisor said only blue states are to blame for inflation as he laughed all the way to the bank – 17 all-cash clap backs appeared first on The Poke.

To PMQs – no, stick with us – where leader of the Liberal Democrats delighted not just the members of his own party by telling a properly funny joke.

To the Trump administration now, in particular to Dr Mehmet Oz, Robert F Kennedy’s righthand man who’s got a theory about Affordable Health Care, AKA ‘Obamacare’ which was intruded in 2010 to reform the health insurance market and help increase insurance coverage for the uninsured. Oz, you won’t be surprised to learn, isn’t a fan, […] The post Turns out Trump’s administration doesn’t have a clue how insurance works and had the entire internet hollering into next week appeared first on The Poke.
