    There's a Chick-fil-A Sauce Shortage and Republicans Know Exactly Who’s Responsible: Joe Biden

    If you bring me anything from Chick-fil-A—which I sometimes call Chick-Fila—and you don’t bring me the Chick-fil-A honey mustard sauce, I will ask that you stand back a bit so you can watch as I slam the bag to the ground and stomp the living shit out of it. You know what a chicken sandwich…

  • Rep. Val Demings Will Challenge Marco Rubio for His Senate Seat in 2022

    Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) is not coming to play games. She was reportedly considered to be Joe Biden’s running mate, has a history of being a no-nonsense straight shooter, and the people of Florida—the ones who aren’t on meth or saving up their coins to afford a Mar-a-Lago membership—love her. So it makes sense that…

  • Dr. Fauci: Pandemic Exposed ‘the Undeniable Effects of Racism’

    When it comes to all things COVID-19 related, Black people listen to one person: Dr. Anthony Fauci. It might help that he’s the leading immunologist in the United States and he’s been in this position since the Black plague devastated then-President Abraham Lincoln’s administration. Also it helps that during one of the most uncertain times…

  • Deleted Video From 2019 Shows Crazy QAnon Congresswoman Harassing AOC Through Her Office Mail Slot

    Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a problem. At some point, Republicans are going to have to look in the mirror and ask themselves is this the party that they want to be? And after they answer with a resounding “Yes!” then Democrats are going to have to find a way to handle this. I’m…

  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Continues to Love Up on Law-Breaking Whites, Plans to Pardon All Residents Who Violated COVID Health Mandates

    So one day God was on a bender. He was going through a bad break up and was really tying one on. Well, because God is God, he got hungry and the only thing open was a place called Ted’s Chili Hole. He’d never eaten there but figured how bad could it be? After 17…

  • Can You Hear That Noise? It’s the Sweet Song of the Walls Closing In on Rep. Matt Gaetz

    One night long ago, the sludge from the bottom of a shrimp boat had meth-fueled sex with a homeless cheerleading boot and the result was Rep. Matt Gaetz.

  • ‘Does Anyone Have Scissors?’ Black NC High School Softball Player Told to Cut Her Hair During Her Team’s Senior Night Game

    Black women’s hair is political. It is scrutinized, policed, protested over, ostracized, ridiculed, debated, and ultimately shamed. It always has been. On April 19, Nicole Pyles faced a difficult decision that should’ve never been proposed. In the middle of her senior night game against her Hillside High School rivals Jordan High, Pyles could cut the…
