  • Trump Thinks That Standing in the Locker Room During the Anthem Is Offensive Because He’s an Idiot

    I don’t hate; it’s not really in my nature. I fake-hate on a regular, tho. Like, I will fake-hate on Cam Newton’s goofy outfits, but if really asked, I don’t care how he dresses. I fake-hate this bullshit iPhone 8, but I don’t know if there is a better phone because of that research and…

  • LeVar Burton Is a National Treasure, so How Dare Trump Voters Confuse Him With LaVar Ball?

    I cannot believe that I live in an America where there are people who don’t know LeVar Burton. He’s only the man who taught every child born during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s how to read through the miraculous gift of the PBS show Reading Rainbow! Can anyone else say that? As if teaching the…

  • Donald Trump Just Can’t Get Off LaVar’s Balls

    President ChiChi von FruitSnacks is up to his old WWE tactics again: He spent his presidential morning on the White House toilet tweeting his thoughts about an African-American father who doesn’t fuck with him. Look at that “IT WAS ME!” in all caps. Looks like the president is really butt-hurt over this whole thing. President…

  • President Pussy Grabber Damn Near Stumps for Accused Sex Offender Roy Moore, Because of Course He Would

    Let’s be clear about something: Asking President Donald Trump, an accused sex offender, about Alabama Republican Roy Moore, the U.S. Senate candidate who’s been accused of sexual assault, is like asking Harvey Weinstein to comment on R. Kelly. It’s weird to even ask the president’s position considering his infamous soundbite and alleged track record, but…

  • Cam Newton May Have Written an Inspirational Note on Instagram, but I Can’t Read It Because He Types the Way Lil Yachty Raps

    I want to give Cam Newton the benefit of the doubt and assume that his Instagram post, which includes his college mug shot photo, is a treatise about the youth of today learning from their mistakes. I want to assume that the IG post is about the trials that LiAngelo Ball is facing from his…

  • Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s Longtime President, Resigns After 37 Years

    For the first time in 37 years, Zimbabwe will have a new president because Robert Mugabe has resigned, saying that his decision was voluntary and being done to create a smooth transition of power. The 93-year-old Mugabe’s resignation came as a shock to many despite the fact that calls for him to step down had…

  • When a Deadbeat Dad Attacks a College Grad: Joe Walsh Blew His Racist Dog Whistle on Marshawn Lynch and Twitter Wasn’t Having It

    There are some people who become assholes over time, and then there are some people who are just born this way. Joe Walsh was born this way; it’s his gift. I imagine baby Joe Walsh, like an asshole idiot savant, chastising his nanny over the consistency of his breast milk. I imagine teen Joe Walsh…

  • Here’s Why No One Cares About University of Oklahoma Quarterback Baker Mayfield Grabbing His Dick on National TV

    While “alt-whites” are fuming over the the shoplifting exploits of three teen UCLA players who happened to include ultra-free black man LaVar Ball’s middle son LiAngelo Ball, the Christian God’s favorite collegiate pocket passer and Heisman hopeful, University of Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, grabbed his dick on national television while yelling, “Fuck you,” to Kansas’ players.…

  • If You Don’t Cry While Watching This Serena Williams Commercial, Then You Probably Voted for Trump

    I just had a baby. Well, I didn’t, but my wife did. So I must admit that I’ve been emotional lately. I can’t watch any commercials that involve the abuse of animals and donating to their cause. I can’t listen to any Sade. It’s safe to say that my life is different now. I never…
