  • Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax's Law Firm Places Him on Leave, 4 Staffers Resign Following 2nd Sexual Assault Allegation

    I believe it was the captain of the Titanic who said “everyone is abandoning the ship because of the massive hole in the bottom!” If evacuation is the second sign of trouble, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax might want to see what’s going on below deck because two of his three government staffers, and two employees…

    Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (aka Governor Moonwalk F.

  • White House Defends Trump's 'Executive Time' After Leaker Reveals Sir Nap-A-Lot's Schedule

    To hear the president tell it, he’s a hardworking commander-in-chief who would never take nap during “executive time” no matter what his aides tell the media. He was resting his eyes…and praying. Look, a man needs time to meditate after a family size bucket of extra crispy KFC, two Filet o’ Fish and a 2-liter…

  • 'Kill Moe, Y'all Bammas Trippin': DC Is the Blackest City In America

    As the story goes, around 1975, God was having a conversation with a few of his apostles about the blackest city in America. The winner would have an anthem recorded by arguably the blackest group of that time. The conversation didn’t last long as it went something like, “Oh, it has to be Birmingham or…

  • Trump Appointed Members of Mar-a-Lago and His Private Golf Clubs to be Ambassadors: Report

    Apparently it doesn’t take much these days to become the ambassador of a country like say, South Africa. In fact in Trump’s administration it seems the only things that are needed are paid memberships to his resorts or private golf cubs. Maybe ambassadorships are included in the exclusive package deals at Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago resort…

  • As President Trump's Physical Approaches, He's Not Done Anything the Doctor Told Him To

    President Hamburglar’s annual physical is on the horizon, and he’s not done anything the doctor said because the president doesn’t listen to anyone. He literally doesn’t listen to advisers, members of Congress, the FBI, the CIA. He will, however, listen to Fox News, so maybe they should’ve suggested that the president lose a dozen pounds…

  • Time to Trash Virginia Politicos and Start Over as Another Senator Was Editor of Yearbook Filled With Racist Images

    Either all of Virginia politicians need to resign or all of them need to collect all of the yearbooks from every school they ever attended and have a big ass bonfire to burn the evidence since all of them seem to be racist AF. As a student at the Virginia Military Institute, State Senate Majority…

  • Cindy McCain Apologizes for Making Up a Race-Based Human Trafficking Story That Was a Whole-Ass Lie

    Cindy McCain, the widow of Republican Sen. John McCain, ran out here and told a whole-ass lie about stopping a child-trafficking incident at an Arizona airport and even her lie was steeped in racist beliefs. I’m just going to let Maverickess McCain tell it. “I came in from a trip I’d been on and I…

  • Turns Out Trump’s Fine and He’s Tweeting Again

    I was worried that the lid on President Trump’s sleeping coffin might have been too tight after his State of the Union speech because the president of people who support Liam Neeson took a break from bashing folks on Twitter, which has become his way since taking office. Well, it looks like the president just…
