    Come on Nancy Pelosi, Not Like This: Speaker of the House the Latest to Try and Come for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    Nancy Pelosi is old-school backroom politics. Remember how she finessed the Speaker of the House position by cutting all kinds of deals with Democrats who initially wanted new blood up against Donald Trump and the White Walkers? So the levels of shade she keeps throwing toward Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, makes her look nervous and like…

  • I’m Not Black, I’m Tiger

    On Sunday, Tiger Woods won the Masters. Big fucking deal. I mean I know it’s historic and a major comeback and he got a green jacket and all that, but let’s be clear about this: Tiger Woods don’t fuck with us. He never has, so me going all ape shit and posting celebratory Tiger photos…

  • Rep. Ilhan Omar: ‘I Have Experienced an Increase in Direct Threats on My Life’ Since Trump’s 9/11 Video Lie

    In almost every area of politics, President Donald Trump is out of his league. In fact, he’s not even in the ballpark when it comes to everything outside of putting his Diet Coke on his Oval Office desk without a coaster.

    Julian Assange Kicked Out Embassy for Smearing Feces on the Wall, Bad Hygiene and Skateboarding Indoors: Report

    I guess Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, forgot that he was a houseguest while living inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and didn’t realize that he could only smear the walls with feces in the home where he pays rent.

    We Need to Talk About President Trump's Sister Maryanne

    Trump has a sister. (Who knew?) Her name is Maryanne Trump Barry. Imagine Trump wearing a powdered wig combed back with a puff on top, and you’d have Maryanne. She used to be a federal appellate judge, then all of sudden, she retired. I’m sure that retirement had nothing to do with a judicial investigation…
