  • President Donald ‘Grab ’Em by the … ’ Trump Wishes Staffer Accused of Domestic Violence a Fond Farewell

    At this point I would take a cardboard box that had been flattened by a four-wheeler over this administration. I don’t say that lightly. I literally mean that a cardboard box wearing a hat and a robe would do a better job of not being an offensive asshole like the current president of the United…

  • Speedskater Shani Davis Throws Shade at the Winter Olympics After Learning He Won’t Be the Flag Bearer

    The Winter Olympics, aka the Privileged Olympics, have barely begun, and the drama is already heating up. Apparently U.S. Olympic speedskater Shani Davis was big mad after learning that he lost the opportunity to rock his Ralph Lauren outfit (because nothing says all-inclusive like suede tasseled Polo gloves that are reselling for thousands of dollars…

  • Mike Pence Doesn’t Bat an Eye Bashing North Korea’s Military Parade While Praising Donald Trump’s Parade

    Vice President Mike Pence refuses to admit that President Donald Trump’s call for a military parade is really just a dick-measuring contest of presidential proportions. Since Russian oligarchs all but awarded Trump the presidency, he’s been engaging in a game of chicken with arguably one of the world’s most unstable leaders, dictator Kim Jong Un.…

  • Omarosa Still Believes She Has Redeeming Qualities, Cries While Telling Big Brother Castmate Her Time at the White House Was a ‘Call to Duty’

    Well, it looks as if Omarosa Manigault Trump IV is on her Chrisette Michele “Welcome me back, black America, because I didn’t know what I was doing” tour, and the first stop is Celebrity Big Brother, where Omarosa, the former director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison, proved that she is…

  • Melania Trump Is Trolling Donald on Twitter and It’s Awesome

    I am not one of those people who feel sorry for Melania Trump. She knew who she was dealing with when she decided to marry the walking embodiment of a clogged artery. But I am one of those people who take delight in watching this marriage crumble. She clearly hates this man, and watching them…

  • The White House Knew That Rob Porter Had Allegedly Assaulted His Ex-Wives and Kept Him Around Anyway: Report

    The White House has become an endless, vast hole of shame and embarrassment. Just when you think that the allegations coming from one of the most revered and respected adobes worldwide can’t get any worse, the entire White House—staff, administration, housekeeping—is like, “Hold my folders.” On Wednesday the White House was rocked by allegations that…

    On Wednesday, aka National Signing Day, aka one of the biggest days in college football, aka the day that Midwesterners and Southerners wait for all year, the day top high school players stop dating and make it official with the college of their choice.

  • Donald Trump Has a White Man’s Lace Front and He Almost Watched It Blow Away

    When you have a lot of money, you no longer have to buy your hair in bundles from an Instagram model who’s hawking two-for-one deals on Brazilian Wavy. I imagine that Beyoncé has a group of Peruvian schoolchildren whose sole purpose is to grow their hair to their ankles so that it can be lobbed…

  • Donald Trump Jr: My Dad Isn’t Racist Because He Takes Photos With Rappers

    For years, the race between Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. for the dumbest Trump offspring wasn’t a race. In fact, it could’ve. been argued that Eric Trump was about to lap the field when Trump Jr. yelled out, “Hold my coffee,” and ran to the press to exclaim that his dad isn’t racist because…

    Ohhh, Ivanka Trump, how I long for the days when you didn’t have a speaking role and were simply a sideshow to your father’s racism, xenophobia and overall heartlessness.
