  • There Was a Secret White House Plan for Mass Arrests of Immigrant Families. When DHS Officials Pushed Back, They Were Fired

    There Was a Secret White House Plan for Mass Arrests of Immigrant Families. When DHS Officials Pushed Back, They Were Fired

    Former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen had always been the cherry on top of Trump’s orange vomit sundae. She was the PTA-mom face of Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration policy and was not only complicit in Trump’s fake creation of a humanitarian crisis at the border, she testified in front of Congress that migrant children weren’t being…

    Trump Tower, Once the Crown Jewel of Trump Properties, Is Now One of the Least Desirable Luxury Properties in NYC

    In the 1980s, well before the great herpes outbreak at Coachella, Trump Tower was the place to be. Many superstars that your parents enjoyed watching on fatback TVs once graced the space, including Michael Jackson, Johnny Carson and Steven Spielberg. Now, Trump Tower, much like the Trump presidency, is trash—high-priced trash but still trash. According…

    Russell Wilson Buys Mom a House, Loves Ciara and Continues to Dunk on Future

    I’m convinced that Russell Wilson is not human. I don’t watch football, but I do watch SportsCenter and at this point, I’m waiting for the Seattle Seahawks quarterback video clip that shows him getting sacked and all of his computer wires getting exposed. Or, I’m waiting for Alfonso Ribeiro to escape from the subway basement…

  • Man Who Raised $22 Million for Border Wall Breaks Silence to Say He's Going to Keep Being Silent With Y’all’s Money

    The man who started a GoFundMe and raised some $22 million to help build the border wall that only racists, xenophobes and racist xenophobes want and then went radio silent with all that white-nationalist scratch is speaking out. After several news outlets began wondering where all that border wall money went, Brian Kolfage, an Air…

  • Trump Just Told Americans Not to Buy American Products Because He Doesn't Understand How Tariffs Work

    President Donald Trump was finishing up his Monday morning—this was, of course, after he’d pistol-whipped a panda to death and drank the rancid blood of an owl—and was ready to call it a day when he asked to borrow Jared Kushner’s phone to send a few tweets. Those tweets have basically amounted to the president…

    The CBC Has Figured Out How to Beat President Donald Lannister With Only 1 Dragon: Biden/Harris in 2020

    Everyone can stop worrying about how the Democrats are going to defeat President Donald Trump with only one dragon and a beaten army; the Congressional Black Caucus, also known as the Unsullied, has it all figured out: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as a “dream ticket.” In a scenario no one asked for, the CBC…

    Republican-led Senate Committee Subpoenaed Lil’ Donnie Jr. and Trump’s Inner Circle Is Pissed

    The way the Trump administration sees it, you are either with the dictatorship or you’re a migrant, person of color, member of the LGBTQ community, or a good-hearted person with a soul and decent vision. So it would stand that Trump’s cronies, aka the Soulless Bitches of the Round Table, are livid that a Republican-led…

    Dallas Cowboys Running Back Ezekiel Elliott to Pay for Funeral of 14-Year-Old Football Star

    Anyone that watched 8th-grader Jaylon McKenzie play football would tell you he was going to be a star. He dashed between defenders with ease. He ran for touchdowns like a gazelle on the open plains. Despite only being in the 8th grade, he was already receiving scholarships from major colleges. Last weekend, all of Jaylon’s…

  • Watch: Trump Laughs During Rally When Supporter Suggests Shooting Migrants at the US-Mexico Border

    The president of the United States is only talking to two people whenever he speaks: white nationalists and Vladimir Putin. At this point, it’s safe to say that the president of people who are cool with you at work but wouldn’t let their children play with your kids has stopped caring about anything: decorum, political…

    #MoeChella Is What Happens When Natives Push Back Against Colonizers; Thousands Converge on City for Go-Go

    For one night, Washington, D.C., took off its hard bottoms, dress pants, work suits, office dresses and let its pinned-up braids down, to collectively sing “Pretty Girls” all over 14th and U streets in a symbolic go-go gathering that stomped on the colonizers’ graves. It was brilliantly dubbed #MoeChella, a mashup of Coachella (an uber-white…
