  • Bernie Sanders Has a Black Woman Problem, and That's Going to Prove Impossible to Get Beyond

    I left something at my mother’s house. And the girl I was with needed to pee. That’s how it started. I forget what it was now, but it must’ve been something important because I drove there to get it in the middle of the night with her in the car. I was in college then,…

  • Omarosa Confirms the President Has a List of Crazy Policy Ideas He'll Leak to Distract From Bad Press

    Omarosa Proctor Manigault Newman Foster Brown Johnson, the former aide to the president and the only black woman allowed to come through the front entrance at the White House during Trump’s presidency, has confirmed what we’ve all long suspected: the president has a list of crazy policy ideas that he rolls out to distract from…

  • Too Much Breaking Bad: Trump Claims Mexican Troops Pulled Guns on Border Guards as Diversionary Tactic for Drug Smugglers

    President Donald Trump has the recipe to rile up his base. Mix equal parts racism and television theatrics with a heaping helping of dog whistling and a can of cream of mushroom soup (because man do they love some cream of mushroom soup), and bake at 450 degrees for 45 minutes, and what you have…

  • Michelle Obama and a Host of Celebrities to Celebrate Students Aiming to Reach Higher

    Other than being grammatically incorrect and laughable, can anyone name anything that current First Lady Melania Trump’s “Be Best” program has done since it started? I’ll wait… And while we wait, I’d like to point out that former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Reach Higher initiative, which was started during her time in the White House,…

  • Iowa Rep. Steve KKKing Claims He Knows What Christ 'Went Through' After Congress Shut Him Down for Being Racist

    Rep. Steve King is a white man, which means that he has rarely, if ever, been told no. He doesn’t know what no feels like. It’s not only foreign to his makeup, his ears don’t even understand it. Historically, white men have had trouble with being told no. So that’s probably why the Iowa representative…

  • Trump Threatens to Get His Cousins If Democrats Keep Threatening Impeachment

    President Donald Trump is doing the preemptive threatening thing that he does when he’s not making up nicknames for congressional members or kicking Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) in the back of the knee and watching him buckle. This time, the president is threatening to go to the Supreme Court, where he put Neil Gorsuch and…

    Watch: Grown Ass Cop Pepper Spray, Beat and Arrest Black Teen for Allegedly Taking a Defensive Stance

    Thank god for cellphones. Not that they seem to matter much in the courts or even in the court of public opinion, but when history looks back on this videoed generation of state-sanctioned violence against minorities, at least all of it will be documented. On Thursday, a little before 3 p.m., a bunch of teens…

    House Democrats Issue Subpoena For Full Mueller Report, Not The William Barr Remix

    On Thursday, Attorney General William Barr held a press conference early in the morning to tell everyone how much he loves and respects the president. Fine, he held a press conference…who knows why he held a damn press conference, but he did and it was stupid. Then he released a redacted version of Special Counsel…

    The Alleged Mistress of Pizza Godfather Herman Cain Is Ready to Describe His Sausage to a Senate Committee

    Ginger White is a woman on a mission. And that mission, it appears, is to keep former pizza guru Herman Cain off the Federal Reserve Board, and she’s willing to go as far as describing Cain’s private parts to the Senate Banking Committee. An aside: There are three things in life that I never want…

  • Russia Report Catches Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a Lie and When Pushed on It, She Lies Again

    The Devil’s mouthpiece aka White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, aka Suckabee, takes all her cues from the president. Trump’s like Mr. Miyagi to Suckabee’s Daniel-san, and the president has shown his apprentice how to randomly throw in phrases that aren’t attributable to anyone and only serve to bolster one’s position. Often the president…
