  • Joel Osteen Sounds a Lot Like Donald Trump

    Joel Osteen has been having a tough time; some of it due to Hurricane Harvey, which ravaged parts of Texas, and most of it due to his response to it and now-revisionist storytelling (can we say “lying” and not be struck down?), akin to the current president and resident liar in chief, Donald Trump.

  • If Trump Ends DACA, Obama Is Ready to Show Out

    Former President, and my president for life, Barack Obama promised that he wouldn’t armchair-quarterback current President Donald von DoucheFace’s presidency.

    Thursday marked the last official day of Sean “Spicy Facts” Spicer’s tumultuous run as a member of President Ezekiel von FuckFace’s staff, and who knew?

  • LaVar Ball May Have Ruined Youngest Son’s NCAA Career With Signature Shoe: ‘Who Cares? If He Can’t Play, Then He Can’t Play’

    LaMelo Ball is the youngest Ball brother, and now, at just 16 years old, he is the first high school player to have his own signature shoe. And, surely, the NCAA will have something to say about this, which, of course, must trouble the outlandish patriarch of the Ball clan. Doesn’t it? “We’ll worry about…
