  • Trump’s Newest Enemy: The US Postal Service

    I don’t know why the president can’t vacation like the rest of us. I guess when he calls Mar-a-Lago the winter White House and claims that he’ll be “working” from his Shithole, Fla., vacation estate, he means that he’ll be attacking people on Twitter. On Friday the president of the middle states, where racism is…

  • There Appears to Be a Black Man in the ‘Thank You, President Trump’ Ad, and I Have Questions 

    There is an ad—a masturbatory ad—that is one of the weirdest ego strokes of any presidency. It starts with a woman saying “Thank you” to President Donald Trump for basically being the greatest dictator to every dictate. It would be laughable if the video, which I initially thought was satire, wasn’t serious. Watch it below:…
