  • It’s Official: Trump Comes Out of the Closet Wearing a White Hood

    I’m tearing up a bit. Not because I’m sad but because I’m tired of always being correct and amazing.

  • Eric Reid vs. Malcolm Jenkins Is What Happens When Black Lives Matters Confronts All Lives Matter

    To place Philadelphia Eagles Malcolm Jenkins in the proper historical context, just call him the Ralph Abernathy to Colin Kaepernick’s Martin Luther King Jr. Sure, Jenkins didn’t help the FBI in its attempts to discredit King’s voice by confirming King had extramarital affairs, which is what Abernathy did to King.

  • Undeniable Proof America Is Still Racist AF

    The world is trash. Fine, the world isn’t trash, but the administration inside the White House is.

    Jim Acosta is currently battling April Ryan for the title of God’s favorite journalist. On Thursday night Acosta, CNN’s chief White House correspondent, was minding his own damn Twitter business when he tweeted about a Trump rally in Montana (yes, this bitch is still rallying.

  • A 2-Year-Old Was Abandoned On a Stranger's Doorstep and We've Got Questions

    This story is horrifyingly wild AF. Try to follow this: A Houston, Tex. mom is in the hospital. She calls her son’s father to see if he can watch him while she’s in the hospital. The dad says “of course.” Mom says, “ok my homegirl will be dropping him off at your house.” Dad is…

  • Old White Men Fight in the White House; John Kelly and John Bolton Get Into Profanity-Laced Argument: Report

  • Former President Jimmy Carter: Brett Kavanaugh Is Unfit to Serve on the Supreme Court
