    Lying-Ass Sean Spicer to Compete on Dancing With the Stars

    The fall for lying white men from the Trump administration is never really a fall.

  • Remember That Trump Speech at the Pennsylvania Plant? Workers Had to Attend, Take Paid Time Off or Lose a Day of Pay

    Turns out that those cheering plant workers behind President Trump at the Pennsylvania petrochemical plant didn’t have many choices when it came to attending the event.

  • The Fat President Fat-Shamed a Protester: ‘Go Home, Start Exercising’

    The president’s diet consists of a half-trough filled with extra soggy KFC original recipe, a small jar of mayonnaise, two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, a large chocolate milkshake (which is his actual McDonald’s order) and a chalice full of baby goat vomit.
