Jimmy Dore: FDR’s Letter To Corporate Democrats Will Blow Your Mind

http://idiocracy23.blogspot.com/2016/06/john-hulse -collected-poems-1985-2015.html “A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”

Jimmy Dore: It’s Official: Left, Right, & Center Hate Establishment News

Madden Indianapolis Colts vs Baltimore Ravens

http://idiocracy23.blogspot.com/2016/06/john-hulse-collected-poems-1985-2015.html

I have been working on a
paper for the Education Market. The paper talks about using video games as a
teaching tool for children with learning disabilities.

The age demographic would be
8 to 18. Games could be up to the teacher or student to chose. Games might
include soccer, football, basketball, etc.

Students could learn about
various historical or fictional characters and create them as players for their
team. It would allow the student to study history, philosophy, religion,
sports, popular culture, etc. and then create the characters to be a part of
their team. The students would even be able to play along side their created
characters.

In this example I used PS4
Madden 17. On some of the teams historical figures like Martin Luther King, and
Abraham Lincoln will play on the same team with authors like Ernest Hemingway
and William Shakespeare, or Elvis Presley and Tupac Shakur.

The process is meant to be a
simple and fun way for kids to learn

subjects such as world
history, literature, poetry, art, music, science and vocabulary.

Maybe PS4/XBOX machines might
be donated or discounted to schools for these classes. More on the paper as it
is fleshed out. Enjoy the simulations.

Jimmy Dore: Cohen Kills Collusion Conspiracy Theory

Jimmy Dore: Breaking: Trump Had Prior Knowledge Of Wikileaks - Cohen Testifies

put that back in my bedroom where it belongs (the two most famous victims of Super Cuts)

President Trump is in Vietnam right now meeting with Kim Jong Un. There they are, the two most famous victims of Super Cuts. --Jimmy Kimmel

When Trump arrived at the summit in Vietnam he was greeted with a giant portrait of himself. Trump said, “Hey, put that back in my bedroom where it belongs.” --Conan O’Brien

Michael Cohen told Congress that President Trump is a racist, a conman and a cheat. Which would have been big news if it wasn't also the slogan for Trump's 2020 campaign. “Racist, Conman, Cheat.” --Trevor Noah

Not intoxicating like wine, but more like cocktails with Bill Cosby (Discretionary Spending)

This is interesting. Michael Cohen said that back in 2013 there was an art auction at which the president directed him to use money from the Trump Foundation, their charity, to secretly pay a bidder at the art auction to make sure his portrait got the highest price of any painting at the auction. And then, after he secretly bought his own portrait with money from the charity, he tweeted: “Just found out that at a charity auction of celebrity portraits in East Hampton, my portrait by artist William Quigley topped list at $60K.” Yeah, because you paid the $60K. He lies for no reason. Who cares? --Jimmy Kimmel

During his testimony before congress Michael Cohen called Trump a racist, a conman and a cheat. But Cohen said he worked with him because he said it was intoxicating. Not intoxicating like wine, but more like cocktails with Bill Cosby. --Jimmy Kimmel

Not only did Trump ask Cohen to cover up his bad deeds, but also his bad grades. Michael Cohen, “I'm talking about a man who declares himself brilliant, but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges and the college board to never release his grades or S.A.T. scores.” Don’t anyone panic, but he’s talking about the guy negotiating a nuclear arms agreement right now. --Jimmy Kimmel

Great. Now, I need a new 2020 campaign slogan (Which one are you, Khloe or Kourtney?)

Today in Congress, Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified about the president and all his scandals. Yep. He called Trump a "conman," a "cheat," and a "racist." Trump heard that and was like, "Great. Now, I need a new 2020 campaign slogan." --Jimmy Fallon

Michael Cohen's testimony was on every TV channel, and I heard that it was also aired on Russian TV. You know it's crazy when even Vladimir Putin is like, (Fallon as Putin) "Pass popcorn. It's getting good. This getting good." --Jimmy Fallon

At one point, Cohen discussed what Trump said about his son, Don Jr. Michael Cohen, “Mr. Trump had frequently told me and others that his son Don Jr. had the worst judgment of anyone in the world.” In response Don Jr. was like, "Dad talked about me?" --Jimmy Fallon

And get this -- Michael Cohen also said that he's responsible for making sure Trump's SAT scores never leaked. It's safe to say the only time Trump's seen a 1600 is when he passes the White House mailbox. --Jimmy Fallon

But get this - I heard Kim Jong-un actually brought his sister to the summit. It got awkward when Trump went up to Kim's sister and said, (Fallon as Trump) "Which one are you, Khloe or Kourtney?" --Jimmy Fallon

He's dumber than me, and I'm dumb as a rock (Make Your Toilet Great Again!)

During Michael Cohen’s testimony before congress today he showed a check Trump signed to pay Stormy Daniels to keep silent about their affair. Trump's signature looks like he was trying to draw a straight line while riding a roller coaster. --Seth Meyers

One surprising moment during his testimony, Michael Cohen said that Trump thought his son Don Jr. “had the worst judgment of anyone in the world.” Man. You know it's bad when you get dissed for being dumb by the guy who threatened his college not to release his S.A.T. scores. Meyers as Trump, "He's dumber than me, and I'm dumb as a rock." --Seth Meyers

And Michael Cohen wasn't just there to testify about the President's alleged crimes. He also provided information about everything from Trump's long history of racism to his net worth. In fact, Cohen revealed that even though Trump waged a racist campaign to get President Obama to release his college records, he made Cohen threaten Trump schools not to release his grades and S.A.T. scores. Michael Cohen, “I'm talking about a man who declares himself brilliant, but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges and the college board to never release his grades or S.A.T. scores.” I shudder to imagine what Trump's S.A.T. score was. Meyers as Trump, "It had to be a perfect score. I filled in every circle." --Seth Meyers

Humanist Report: Ivanka Trump Gets Schooled by Ocasio-Cortez for Richsplaining "Handouts"

The cause of the toxic waste... (Just what kind of life form?)

Recent photos sent from the Galileo space probe orbiting Jupiter's moon Europa suggest that it meets the conditions necessary to support a primitive life form. Just what kind of life form? You guessed it, Frank Stallone. --Norm Macdonald, SNL

According to the EPA it will cost an estimated two hundred and ninety five million dollars to clean up toxic waste at the former Lockheed Martin military aircraft plant in California. The cause of the toxic waste, you guessed it, Frank Stallone. --Norm Macdonald, SNL

The number one selling doll this Christmas is Tickle Me Elmo and the least popular selling doll, you guessed it, Tickle Me Frank Stallone. --Norm Macdonald, SNL

She said she likes her lovemaking loud, rough and frequent... (His reason? It detects lies)

According to a controversial new biography, Elizabeth Taylor likes her lovemaking loud, rough and frequent. Coincidentally that's also how she likes eat. --Norm Macdonald, SNL

A new development in the OJ Simpson civil trial this week. According to sworn testimony Nicole Brown Simpson had told her therapist that she was afraid of getting beaten by OJ Simpson. When asked why he didn't report this earlier, the therapist said I was afraid of getting beaten by OJ Simpson, --Norm Macdonald, SNL

Our top story tonight comes from the OJ Simpson civil trial where this week it was revealed that in his first interview with police Simpson had refused to take a lie-detector test. His reason? It detects lies. --Norm Macdonald, SNL

After numerous requests the National Institute of Health has finally granted funds to the University of New Mexico in order to test mice for the deadly hantavirus. Although I'm sure the government would have acted a lot sooner if instead of mice the hantavirus was killing off rich white guys. --Norm Macdonald, SNL

this year's school play was Harold and Kumar go to White Castle (reporting for duty only about 50 years late)

Teachers at a high school in Queens are complaining that the principal is letting the students smoke weed. Yeah, you could tell weed's a problem because this year's school play was "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle." --Jimmy Fallon

Donald Trump arrived in Vietnam this morning, reporting for duty only about 50 years late. --Jimmy Kimmel

Trump is in Hanoi meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. They are set to meet for a small dinner. I don’t believe it. Neither one of those two has ever eaten a small dinner. --Jimmy Kimmel

Trump and Kim were rehearsing their intimate performance of "Shallow" from A Star is Born (or, as married couples call that, pretty good)

Well, you guys, President Trump and Kim Jong-un have both arrived for their summit in Vietnam. And this was nice. Before their official meeting, Trump and Kim spent the day rehearsing of their intimate performance of "Shallow" from "A Star is Born." --Jimmy Fallon

Of course, when President Trump arrived at the airport, he had to answer some questions at customs. And he had some pretty interesting responses. Check this out. When asked, "Where are you flying in from?" Trump answered, "The sky." Then they asked, "How long do you intend to stay?" Trump answered, "I'll let you know once I read the Mueller report." And, finally, they asked, "Do you have any plants or animals with you?" Trump answered, "Just the one on my head." --Jimmy Fallon

I saw that HBO just released a new clip from the final season of "Game of Thrones." Or it was just an old clip, but it's been so long that none of has us noticed. It's like, "Do we remember that? Did that happen already?" Yeah, the clip was 3 seconds long. That's right -- 3 seconds every two years or, as married couples call that, pretty good. --Jimmy Fallon

Pssst... We'll be safe in here (No, you get ready for school!)

New York lawmakers have proposed a new bill that would make baseball the state's official sport, replacing the current official sport, trying to urinate between two parked cars without getting caught. --Seth Meyers

According to a new study, the financial responsibility of having children reduces a person's happiness. But it's balanced out by the joy of your toddler telling you you're fat. --Seth Meyers

Nabisco is releasing limited edition "Game of Thrones" Oreos in honor of the show's final season. The way it works is, you eat seven of them, and then you have to wait three years before you can have another. --Seth Meyers

And finally, a brewery in Virginia is coming out with a new beer that it says tastes like Lucky Charms. Said customers, "No, you get ready for school!" --Seth Meyers

I feel bad for whatever president is gonna have to pull us out of that (Oh, you mean 0.15 Iraq Wars?)

President Trump arrived in Vietnam today ahead of his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. "It's good to see you again, Kim," said Trump, to the first 30 people he saw. --Seth Meyers

President Trump tweeted this morning, "Just arrived in Vietnam. Thank you to all of the people for the great reception in Hanoi. Tremendous crowds and so much love." Before adding, "If I had known it would be this good, I wouldn't have dodged coming the first time." --Seth Meyers

According to a new survey, 75% of leading business economists expect the U.S. will be in a recession by 2021. Said President Trump, "Wow, I feel bad for whatever president is gonna have to pull us out of that." --Seth Meyers
