  • Trump Is Trash, So of Course, He'd Still Accept Political Dirt on Foes From Foreign Governments

    Trump Is Trash, So of Course, He'd Still Accept Political Dirt on Foes From Foreign Governments

    Trump just can’t stop stepping in it. If there were signs all over the White House pointing out where not to step, Trump would still step in it. If “it” were lying on a rug with a flashing, neon, talking billboard that played on repeat for Trump not to step here, Trump would lace up…

  • Trump Is Obsessed With the 'I-Word'—and No, the 'I' Doesn't Stand for Idiot

    President Trump knows that the Democrats are split on whether or not to start impeachment proceedings, and while he’s reportedly convinced he won’t be impeached because, in his words, he’s done nothing wrong, that hasn’t stopped him from becoming fixated with the idea, both good and bad, of impeachment.

  • GOP Big Mad After Lawmaker Reads Letter on House Floor Calling Trump Supporters ‘Racist’ and ‘Just Plain Dumb’

    So I do this thing with my wife where I say how I feel by claiming someone else said it. Example: Some would argue that my cooking is better than yours.  Or: I’ve had plenty of people come to me to congratulate me on how I folded the bed sheets.   I learned this from…

  • New Poll Shows That Black Voters Favor Former Vice President Joe Biden in 2020

    A new poll has shown what we all feared—fine, maybe it’s just me—but black folks, at least the ones polled, have declared that Vice President Joe Biden is the frontrunner out of all the Destiny’s Child members that make up the Democratic nominees vying to become president.
