  • ‘Chuck and Nancy’ Cancel Meeting With Trump Because He’s an Asshole

    Democratic leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California are getting tired of President Donald Trump’s shit.

  • Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Isn’t Feeling LiAngelo Ball’s Ferrari

    I hate to say that UCLA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is haterating in this dancerie, but the NBA legend isn’t upset that LiAngelo Ball and two other UCLA players (Cody Riley and Jalen Hill) got caught stealing in China; he’s more annoyed that the middle Ball child is cruising campus in a Ferrari. “This is disgusting.…

    I think at this point it’s no longer speculation or conjecture or mean-spiritedness to call President Donald Trump an asshole. He is an asshole. He knows it, his staff knows it, his supporters know it. And I think one of his best traits is being an asshole—an unabashed, unashamed asshole. Trump is the physical embodiment…

  • Trump Honored Native American Code Talkers at the White House. What Could Go Wrong?

    I want a wall. I’ve never wanted the wall before, but I do now. I want to build a wall around the White House that doesn’t allow anyone of color inside, because once inside, we can’t keep you safe. There is a good chance that you are going to be subjected to racist jokes from…

    The king will always trump the president. The greatest basketball player in this decade just happens to be one of the most socially conscious, and as such, when the dictator with the little hands was gifted the presidential election by his Russian cousins and 53 percent of white women, LeBron “King” James decided that he…
