  • Fires Are Raging in Calif. and Residents in Puerto Rico Still Don’t Have Drinking Water, so Why Is the President Tweeting About Jemele Hill?

    In day No. 145 of “OMG, I hate this man,” it seems that the president has once again found a way to concern himself with matters that don’t concern him because he’s so low and petty he can’t help himself. On Monday, ESPN announced that it would be suspending news anchor Jemele Hill for two…

  • Jemele Hill Suspended From ESPN for Social Media Post

    ESPN anchor Jemele Hill, who once tweeted that Donald Trump is a “white supremacist” (still looking for the lie), has been suspended for two weeks after violating what the sports station is calling “a second violation of social media guidelines.” After news broke that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would be benching any player who…

  • The New York Times Profile on White House Policy Adviser Stephen Miller Confirms That He’s Been an Asshole His Whole Life

    Although photos of White House Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller tend to bend toward aging senior citizen, I assure you that the man is only 32. I researched this because I, too, had a hard time believing it, but he’s only 32 years old, and he grew up in Santa Monica, Calif. What we already…

  • #ForTheCulture: How a Black Woman Led Miami Dolphins Coach to Resign After Release of Video Showing Him Sniffing White Powder

    Protests are personal. There are some of us who’ve elected to turn the station on NFL Sundays. There are some of us who kneel while watching the entire game. Some of us are willing to watch with only one eye open, while the other eye is reading Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth. And…

  • Mike Pence Left the Colt-49ers Game Because He’s a Messy Bitch Who Lives for Drama

    I’m not sure how puppet Vice President Mike Pence was able to leave Lucas Oil Stadium with the president’s tiny hand shoved that far up his ass, but I’m sure he’s used to being played for a fool. It’s in his job description. There is a stipulation in his vice presidential contract that requires him…

  • Watch: Trump Tries to Talk With a Spanish Accent in Speech for Hispanic Heritage Month

    WTF is wrong with this man? The president of the United States was speaking during a “celebration” of National Hispanic Heritage Month, and listen to this ass saying “Puerto Rico” in a faux Spanish accent, because that’s what assholes do when they’re trying to be funny or cute: The problem is that this isn’t the…

  • Trump Is the Cesar Millan of Racist Dog Whistling: Claims Democrat in Va. Governors Race Is ‘Fighting for’ MS-13

    It’s one thing to put a presidential stamp on a candidate running for office in a swing state, and another to claim that a Democratic gubernatorial candidate supports a murderous gang. Such is life in a Donald Trump presidency. In fact, I’m convinced that Trump’s way of striking back at the mainstream media, which he’s…

  • Trump Met With Top Military Leaders and Teased the Threat of War Because He’s an Asshole

    Sometimes, unexpected guests show up at funerals. And sometimes those guests get on the microphone and say ungodly things or start singing, like this woman: And look, I get it; it’s funny. But at some point it’s someone’s job to get this woman off the mic. Seriously, Congress, it’s time to be that person. It’s…

  • Adidas’ Deal With the University of Louisville Was Supposed to Benefit the Athletic Department, so How Did Coach Rick Pitino Get 98 Percent of the Money?

    On Aug. 25, when University of Louisville’s then-athletic director Tom Jurich was asked about where money from a new $160 million, 10-year deal signed between the school and athletic apparel company Adidas would go, Jurich assured all within earshot that the money would be used for the athletic department. “It’s for the athletic department,” Jurich…

  • Tennessee Titans Coach Whitesplains Why Team Went With Brandon Weeden Over Colin Kaepernick 

    I hate president Donald Trump, but at least I know exactly where he stands and what it is I’m hating. Because the president is unfiltered, he gives those who hate him enough reasons for a lifetime. For once, I just wish that an NFL coach who has passed on Colin Kaepernick would just come out…
