    Robert Mueller Wrote a 'Bish, What?' Letter to the Attorney General After Barr Remixed the Special Counsel's Report

    For those not up on game, shortly after Special counsel Robert Mueller released the findings of his two-year investigation into whether Russia colluded with the Trump administration to steal the 2016 presidential election, Attorney General William Barr condensed this 448-page report down to a four-page memo given to Congress in which Barr claimed that the…

    Here's How Much Money Trickled Down to Wages From Trump's Ingenious Big Business Tax Cuts

    The Trump administration touted its bullshit tax plan as a win for the little guy with the idea being this: by giving big businesses massive tax breaks, they’d have more money, and with more money, they’d do the right thing and take care of their workers. It was all garbage-talk from the beginning, but Trump…

  • Trump Sues 2 Banks to Keep Democrats Out of His Finances

    How do we know with certainty that the president of the United States is not a high paid sex worker who exclusively caters to Russian President Vladimir Putin?

  • Trump Now Claims His 'Very Fine People on Both Sides' Comment Wasn't About White Supremacists

    President Donald Trump spins so much that even trying to keep all his truths, lies and subsequent lies about his truths can make you dizzy. But let’s try and think back a bit to that deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, when the president of people who were wearing khakis and…

    Kellyanne Conway's Husband Nicknames the President 'Deranged Donald' and the Internet Loves It

    I’m not sure how Kellyanne Conway does it. The Crypt Keeper is not only the White House counselor, she’s also second liar if White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders is busy, and she’s married to a man who absolutely detests her boss.
