  • Kanye West Is the Male Lauryn Hill

    One day last week Kanye West was supposed to drop new music. Instead, he dropped more support for his president Donald J. Trump. One day last week, Lauryn Hill was supposed to do a show (or wasn’t supposed to do a show. At this point both are believable) and she canceled and said that the…

  • Trump’s Treatment of Female Reporters During Press Conference Shows Why He Supports Judge Kavanaugh

    As with most things during Trump’s presidency, what started as a victory lap over a bootleg NAFTA alternative turned into a show of sexist, misogynistic, male chauvinist pig shit … or in laymen’s terms, “the presidency.” After Trump boasted about his dumb ass trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, more properly called the “I don’t…

  • Millionaire Sens. Chuck Grassley and Jon Tester Are Applying for Wypipo Welfare

    Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is not only a curmudgeonly old man and the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he’s also an asshole. The distinction needs to be made. One can be crotchety and harmless. Grassley, however, is a crotchety, rich, powerful, asshole. He’s literally the walking embodiment of Mr. Burns or Scrooge McDuck. Turns…

  • Rate These Kavanaugh Faces: From Boofed to Let Me Speak to Your Manager

    It must be nice to be a white man. Thursday was arguably one of the whitest white-man moments in the history of white man-ism. It was white mantastic. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a white man, literally walked into the jar of mayonnaise called the Senate Judiciary Committee and told the interviewers to go fuck…

  • Several Democrats Walk Out of Hearing to Protest Brett Kavanaugh Vote Scheduled Friday

    It’s clear now, if it wasn’t before, that the political theater disguised as a partisan investigation to get to the bottom of sexual assault allegations was a farce, and as such, four Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee walked out of the hearing Friday morning.
