  • GOP Senate Candidate’s Parents Donate Maximum Amount to His Democratic Rival

    Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kevin Nicholson’s parents have decided that blood is not thicker than politics. That’s because they oppose their son’s political views so much that they donated the maximum amount allowed to his Democratic rival, current Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

  • #MAGA: Trump Properties Needed 144 Employees, so They Hired 143 Foreign Guest Workers and 1 American

    President Donald Trump is a roadside magician whose best trick is convincing the public that he actually has tricks. But all of Trump’s “magic” since taking office has been an obvious sleight of little hands. Oh, special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating my ties to Russia—time to start a Twitter war with North Korea. What’s…

  • Trump’s Lawyer: I Paid the Porn Star $130,000 but That Doesn’t Mean She Had Sex With the President

    President Donald Trump didn’t pay porn star Stormy Daniels in an attempt to hide their reported affair. Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, paid Stormy, née Stephanie Clifford, out of his own pocket, but he won’t say why she was paid or what she was paid for. Cohen also claims that he was not…

  • Former White House Staffer Accused of Domestic Violence Was Being Considered for Promotion: Report

    In a normal government like, say, Wakanda, a person with a history of domestic violence would not be able to ascend the ranks even as the FBI was denying said person security clearance. That person would not be allowed to date T’Challa’s fake daughter because he would have been banished from the kingdom. Sadly, though,…

  • Omarosa Fired From White House for Using Executive Car Service Like a Personal Uber: Report

    Who didn’t see this coming? Seriously, I tried to warn y’all that Omarosa Manigault Newman was in the White House like the friend of the guy who got drafted first round in the NBA. You know the friend whose job it is to be the friend. He’s the guy who gets paid to coordinate the…

  • The Trump Administration Wants to Bring Back Gov’ment Cheese, Blue Apron-Style

    In a push to return to the good ol’ days of slavery, the Trump administration wants to cut funding to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka food stamps, and send recipients a box full of food that they didn’t ask for. According to NPR, the push to return to the horse-and-buggy era is just one…

  • LaVar Ball Wants All His Children on the Same NBA Team and Even Plans to Hold Them Out if That Can’t Happen

    I cannot figure out if LaVar Ball, the enigmatic father of three basketball prodigies, is a genius using common man’s-speak or, really just a common man speaking nonsense. It looks as if the senior-most Ball, who couldn’t keep himself out of his children’s high school, college or professional careers, is now working to get them…

  • Jeff Sessions Tells Law Enforcement to Never Forget the ‘Anglo-American Heritage’ of the Sheriff’s Office 

    If Attorney General Jeff Sessions is not a white supremacist, he sure plays one well. In fact, he can’t even do anything without invoking his white heritage all up in the videos and all on the record, dancing (Suge Knight voice). All Sessions had to do was give a speech to sheriffs on Monday in…

  • Devin Nunes Had a Fake News Website That Was Taken Down After a Report Exposed It

    House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is the goofy kid who wants badly to be accepted by the table he thinks is cool. He has yet to realize that the cool table he’s yearning for is really just a bunch of losers who smoke crystal meth and wear skinhead apparel, but he’s willing to do…

    The fuss-fight between the president of the United States and his father, Steve Bannon, continues with the former White House chief strategist reportedly stating that he was fine with being fired because he was “sick of being a wet nurse to a 71-year-old man.” Ouch.
