  • Even Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley Is Annoyed With Trump’s Trolling

    When Nikki Haley thinks you’re being an asshole, you know you’ve gone too far. On Friday, after learning that Rep. Elijah Cummings’ (D-Md.) home had been burglarized, the perpetually petty president, whose emotional age is stunted somewhere between “I don’t like applesauce” and “Farting is funny,” couldn’t wait to hop on Twitter to poke fun…

Will Hurd (R-Texas), one of the few dissenting Republican voices against the president and the lone black Republican in the House of Representatives, announced Thursday night that he will not seek reelection in 2020. “I have made the decision to not seek reelection for the 23rd Congressional District of Texas in order to pursue…

  • Wait, What? Trump Claims He Is Going to End the AIDS Epidemic and Will Cure Pediatric Cancer

    Donald Trump needs to understand that there are levels to lying. Telling Melania that she doesn’t look like a racist robot in her evening gown isn’t the same as telling the world that your administration will be ending the AIDS epidemic and curing pediatric cancer. Yet, here we are. During a rally in Cincinnati on…

  • Filmmaker Michael Moore Wants America’s Favorite Black Woman to Save America From Trump

    Filmmaker Michael Moore knows exactly who could save America from the racist president leaving his Florsheim prints all over the Oval Office desk, and that person, according to Moore, would “crush” President Donald Trump in 2020 “and her last name rhymes with Obama.” “In fact, it is Obama—Michelle Obama,” Moore said on MSNBC. “Everybody watching…

  • Warped Flip-Flop Tomi Lahren Apologizes for Tweeting Sen. Kamala Harris Slept Her Way to the Top

    Tomi Lahren, America’s unwashable mayonnaise stain and host of some shitty show on Fox News, couldn’t stand watching California Sen. Kamala Harris on stage. It messed with all of her sensibilities. It ruined her spidey senses. So what did America’s most dog chewed pair of Keds do? Well, she went on Twitter and struck the…

  • Trump Claims Baltimore Is Rat Infested. He Should Talk to His Slumlord Son-in-Law, Whose Charm City Properties Are Trash

    If President Trump was really concerned about the condition of Baltimore neighborhoods instead of tweeting about it, he could have walked from the Oval Office into his son-in-law’s makeshift suite inside the White House and told him to fix it. That’s because Jared Kushner and Kushner’s family business, the New York-based Kushner Companies, owns thousands…

  • Guess Who Donald Trump Thinks Is the Dumbest Man on Television? Hint: He’s Black

    President Trump was up past his bedtime watching the debates Tuesday night. Yes, he was wearing pajamas with the feet attached and was snacking on his pre-dinner meal of goat’s blood and baked bat wings smothered in mayonnaise when he took offense to a question asked by CNN’s Don Lemon, one of the moderators of…

  • Trump Retweets Some Bullshit and Twitter Suspends the Conspiracy-Laced Account That Posted It

    Donald Trump is the president of the United States but he hasn’t let that job get in the way of his actual work—being a Grade A, self-centered Twitter troll. And as such, he has a tendency to retweet some of the most outlandish bullshit because he’s easily influenced and already compromised. On Tuesday, a most-likely…

  • Surprise! Beloved President Ronald Reagan Was a Racist: Unearthed Call to Then-President Nixon Proves It

    History has been kind to former President Ronald Reagan. In death, the story of Reagan, the racist actor-turned-racist president has morphed into Reagan, the conservative maverick whose vision for America created the blueprint for “self-reliance.” Even former President Barack Obama spoke highly of Reagan and often quoted the 40th president. Time magazine even wrote a…
