  • Trump Wants Stacey Abrams to Concede Georgia Governor Race, Mocks Russia Collusion

    The president of straight white men continues to troll the rest of America because he makes no bones about being the president of straight white men.

  • You Thought the Elections Were Over? Well, Florida Says Hold My Beer as Races May Head for a Recount

    I was at a bar once when my buddy asked me to run “shy brother” and introduce him to a woman way out of his league. I walked over and explained that my friend thought she was attractive but he was super shy. She laughed. She’d seen Five Heartbeats, and then she very politely told…

  • The White House Suspended CNN Correspondent Jim Acosta on a Lie and Shared Doctored Video Because They’re Trash

  • Trump Just Held a Disastrous Press Conference; Fought With a CNN Correspondent and Called Black Reporter’s Question Racist 

    This is a trying time for America, but more importantly, for journalists trying to cover King Joffrey Baratheon of the House of White.

  • Winners and Losers From the 2018 Elections

    It’s hard to sugarcoat what happened on election Tuesday; Democrats won the House, which was a huge victory, but beloved candidates like Andrew Gillum, running for governor in Florida, or Beto O’Rourke, who was challenging Ted “I’m totally not the Zodiac killer” Cruz for a seat in Congress, lost.
