  • Appeals Court Rules That President Troll Can’t Block People on Twitter Just Because They Say Stuff That Makes Him Mad

    The president of the United States is a Twitter troll. He often uses his social media pulpit to call Congress members derogatory nicknames while defending his draconian administration.

    Watch: Insane Video Shows NFL’s Malik McDowell’s Fight With Cop Even After Being Tased

    I’m no cop cheerleader. I believe that police officers, like most people, are guided by, whether consciously or subconsciously, their beliefs. I believe that most altercations involving white police officers and black men, women, and children would’ve been solved differently if the suspect was white. I believe that “Fuck Tha Police” is the greatest protest…

  • The Kardashian of Presidents Is Beefing With the Jordyn Woods of News Networks

    President Donald Trump believes all news is fake news except the state-sponsored Russia Times Fox News, which the president considers a friend. The president and news anchors share lawyers and buzzard souffle recipes, so it was strange to see the Kardashian of presidents beefing with the Jordyn Woods of news networks. Over the weekend, Trump…

    Nancy Pelosi Keeps Coming for the Fab Freshmen of Congress but She Doesn’t Have the Range

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) may have overstayed her welcome. For some reason—maybe it’s jealousy, maybe it’s because the new crop of freshmen members of Congress—Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) refuse to kiss the ring—the senior congresswoman keeps coming for them and keeps embarrassing herself. Over the…

    The Trump campaign will stop at nothing to look like the Trump campaign is a real campaign, including hiring paid spokesmodels to pledge their support for the president of white women who dress as handmaids.

    Texas Lawmaker Calls Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller an 'Anal Opening'

    Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) is an asshole. He’s also part of a group of assholes known as Republicans. This asshole conglomerate supports President Donald Trump. Trump’s mouth is shaped like an anus. Gohmert knows a thing or two about assholes, so when the Texas congressman calls someone like, say, former special counsel Robert Mueller, an…

    Like a stick figure drawn with a shaky hand on Picasso’s “Family of Saltimbanques,” Ivanka Trump, who was not elected to any office, attended the G-20 Summit and tried to make friends—except, she’s not a world leader. Despite being the daughter of a traitor whose presidency will always hold an asterisk next to his name,…
