    Here’s a suggestion: If you are an old white man running for president and opponents and pundits claim that you’re out of touch and “old-fashioned,” you probably shouldn’t recall your work with segregationist senators as a fond memory of the good old days where people with differing opinions could talk to one another.

    ‘Little Marco’ Trends on Twitter After Former Trump Nemesis Is All Smiles During the President’s Reelection Rally

    Let’s all think back to early 2016: Trump wasn’t president and Hillary Clinton was poised to become the first woman to call all the shots. Marco Rubio and then-regular-New-York-pain-in-the-ass Donald Trump were engaged in a full-on bitchy barb of insults. From education to sweating to Marco’s tiny stature to Trump’s tiny hands and implied dick…

  • Trump Won’t Apologize to the Exonerated Five, Claims They Admitted Their Guilt and That There Are ‘People on Both Sides’

    President Donald Trump believes what he wants to believe. Not only can he not be swayed, but he doesn’t even want to hear anything that isn’t remotely close to what he believes.

  • The Benefits of Whiteness: Paul Manafort Won't Be Going to Rikers Island. He Can Thank the Department of Justice

    Paul Manafort is a criminal. Paul Manafort is also a rich white man. Paul Manafort was supposed to be sent to Rikers Island while awaiting trial on New York State charges because that’s what happens when someone commits crimes in New York. But, Paul Manafort is also Trump’s former campaign manager. So, Paul Manafort won’t…

  • President Stephen Miller Gets His Wish: Trump Promises Mass Deportations of Undocumented Immigrants Next Week

    Rumor has it that when President Stephen Miller was born, he reportedly coughed and then asked to see his doctor’s paperwork.

    It’s not me, it’s you. It was always you.
