As she sat overlooking a hotel lobby in Philadelphia during the Democratic National Convention this week, Alexandra Pelosi said she spied three of the wealthy men featured in her HBO documentary, "Meet the Donors: Does Money Talk?" For her sake, it's fortunate that the film premieres Monday , presumably after everyone has left town. "I think they expected me to come to them and say they could vet this, and I didn't do that," Pelosi said.
Donald Trump has promised not only to be the voice of the American people, but also to take decisive, immediate action. As president, he has said he would move fast to destroy the Islamic State, scrap bad trade deals, build that wall, "stop the gangs and the violence," and "stop the drugs from pouring into our communities."
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump - I can't believe I wrote those words - gave a news conference Wednesday. Shall we first count the outrages or the lies? I think we need to start at the top of the outrage column.

Kaine, then the governor of Virginia, had landed in Japan for an Asia trade mission. Shortly after arriving at his hotel, Kaine was awoken by a phone call from his chief-of-staff: a gunman had opened fire at Virginia Tech.
But, ironically, in the 46 months since the Republican National Convention in Tampa, many of the economic promises made by Republicans actually came true under the Democratic president. It's a narrative that has proven difficult for the Obama administration -- and Hillary Clinton -- to capitalize on.
If you were on Twitter last night, you saw a tidal wave of responses being sent over the Intertubes as Donald Trump laid out his shrieking and narcissistic vision of America to the viewers for about seventy five minutes. The top tweet of the "Eve of The Apocalypse" speech came from Senator Bernie Sanders , who like all of us, had the same visceral reaction to it.
It is always equal parts amusing and sad to me when the national pundit consensus reaches some new and completely incorrect position out of a combination of mind meld and laziness. The popular one, culminating in Donald Trump's acceptance of the Republican Party's presidential nomination, is that he represents a strange and dark turn away from what the party has previously stood for.
In this Aug. 29, 2012 file photo, a video of former President George W. Bush is shown during the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.

Donald Trump plans to paint a portrait of a nation in "crisis" where crime is spinning out of control thanks to President Barack Obama, when the business mogul accepts the Republican presidential nomination Thursday. According to a prepared draft of Trump's speech , he will deem himself the "law and order" president - and promise that "crime and violence" would "come to an end" once he becomes president - all the while probably hoping Americans won't look at the facts.
How Hillary Clinton "treated government secrets as Secretary of State, and what she said before and after she was caught, exquisitely sums up the case against her," former U.S. Atty. Gen. Michael Mukasey says in speech to Republican Natl Convention.
Donald Trump's support among one of the fastest growing demographics in the country has plunged to one of its lowest points yet.

Under wraps for 13 years, the U.S. on Friday released once-top secret pages from a congressional report into 9/11 that questioned whether Saudis who were in contact with the hijackers after they arrived in the U.S. knew what they were planning. The newly declassified document , with light redactions, names people the hijackers associated with before they carried out the attacks, killing nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and on a plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.

Tony Blair and the two U.S. presidents he worked with as Britain's prime minister said Thursday they're worried about the growing divisiveness that is making it harder for people to work together to find solutions.

Thanks to Donald Trump, the Republican National Convention that opens here Monday will be like no other in the modern era - a gathering of a divided and nervous political party preparing to nominate a candidate who stormed through the nominating process after turning his back on a generation or more of conservative orthodoxy. In many ways, what transpires in Cleveland will seem familiar.
