  • If Trump Is Meeting With North Korean President Kim Jong Un, Then Dennis Rodman Needs to Be There

    You know what’s more bizarre then two hot-headed world leaders getting together in a room to talk peace? Dennis Rodman. Rodman—the tattooed, onetime drug addict-and-onetime basketball player-turned-reformed drug addict, whose temperament can best be described as a faulty shredded trip wire on its last thread—has the distinguished privilege of being one of the few men…

Robert “Beto” O’Rourke—who won the Democratic primary Tuesday night and will be running against Cruz for the Senate—because he uses a nickname. On Tuesday, Rafael’s campaign released…

  • Former Trump Campaign Aide Who Went Full Kanye Will Comply With Grand Jury Subpoena

    Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg ran out here talking big talk. Remember? It was just a few days ago when Nunberg received a subpoena from special counselor Robert Mueller, who’s about to blow this whole Russia-Trump scandal out of the water, but Nunberg was acting like Training Day Denzel, claiming that he wasn’t fishing…

  • NFL Prospect Asked Whether He Likes Men and if His Mom Was a Prostitute: Report

    Out of all the sports, football might be the most homoerotic game in the history of all homoerotic games. From the fitted uniforms to the placement of the quarterback’s hands before the ball is hiked, from the sweaty tackles and grunting men to the smacking one another on the backside, football has always been one…

    Ben “Mumbles” Carson didn’t want to be secretary of housing and urban development, and when he was offered the job, he should have turned it down. Instead, the highly decorated neurosurgeon is operating in full public view, and he’s a damn mess. He’s worse than a mess; he’s a mess wrapped inside an atrocity that…

  • The President of the United States Is Being Sued by a Porn Actress. Yep, America, We’ve Truly Lost It

    I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I’m now openly rooting for a porn actress (I think we use the term “star” too freely when talking about porn) to take down the presidency. And while I know that she won’t, it doesn’t mean I can’t be happy that she’s doing the Messy Lord’s work. As…
