  • Trump's Doing It Again. And by 'It' I Mean Attacking 'The Squad'

    The president of the United States is a… At this point I want to be outraged but the president of the United States is a joke and he’s exactly what racist white men and 53 percent of white women wanted in office. He’s all the negative things I could think of to describe him. All…

  • Can Unseasoned Food Cause 'the Itis'? Because Trump's Commerce Secretary Can't Stop Falling Asleep

    Oh shit, who knew that the itis was a real thing? I mean, of course, the black community has been arguing for centuries that falling asleep after a big meal is a medically induced happening, but it apparently has a real medical sounding name. “Postprandial somnolence (colloquially known as the itis, food coma, after dinner…

    Please Watch ESPN’s Dan Le Batard Give a Lesson on How to Use Privilege to Be an Ally

    Sometimes, the pressure to do and say what’s right outweighs political position, or political correctness, and even employment. Sometimes something is so wrong that it is impossible not to call it such. Sometimes a public platform must become a public pulpit in order to help change things. On Thursday, ESPN radio and TV personality Dan…

  • Trump to Nominate Late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s Son for Labor Secretary

    We all know that President Trump met up with nepotism in a back alley, punched it in the balls, and hit it over the head with one of Ivanka’s kitten heels from her cruisewear line that seems to be exclusively sold at Marshall’s. The man that has given the highest level of security clearance to…

  • Trump’s Selling Overpriced Straws to Idiots Who Drink Bud Light With a Beer Cozy

    Nothing says “I stand with America” like doing coke off a Russian prostitute’s naked ass while using a Trump-branded straw, and thank God the president’s branding team saw fit to add his name and a ridiculous price tag to Trump straws! Fuck those liberal paper straws that don’t want to impeach the president. The Trump…

  • Lindsey Graham: The President Doesn’t Want to Kick Out All Legal Citizens, Just the Ones Who Don’t Support Him

    Watching Trump’s favorite footstool Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) twerk is becoming one of my favorite boredom activities. Wait, you’ve never seen Republicans twerk? Sure you have. That’s what I call it when they bend over backwards to support the president’s xenophobic, racist, immoral and unconstitutional policies and then begin talking out of their asses. Recently,…

  • President Dog Whistle Repeats Insidious and Unfounded Claim That Rep. Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother

    Stay with me, for a second: A mediocre white man, who inherits the majority of his wealth, claims that he’s a fantastic businessman. The same white man claims he had bone spurs to avoid serving in a war and later desecrates the legacy of deceased Arizona Senator and war hero John McCain. The white man…

  • Poll Finds Trump’s Racist Dog Whistle Works With Racists; Republican Support Increases After Racist Tweets

    Well, it looks like President Trump’s racist tweet targeting the fab four freshmen congresswomen is working; not only has he distracted the public from his relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, his Republican base has heard the call and his support has increased. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, after the president tweeted that all four…
