  • Ain’t That Just Like a White Nationalist: Trump Pissed at the Removal of ‘Beautiful’ Confederate Statues

    President Douchey von ShitFace isn’t happy that the “beautiful” statues commemorating racism at its finest are being removed, because you know racism and monuments to racism need to be preserved! The president’s tweets most likely came after his bathing and before his morning snack. I believe that during this time, one of his minions reads…

  • Trump Disbands Advisory Councils After CEOs ‘Greyjoy’ off His Sinking Ship

    Clearly it isn’t a courageous move by CEOs to abandon the president of white supremacy right after his off-the-rails white nationalist rant, but in a symbolic move, top corporate leaders have left the executive councils, forcing the president to end the groups altogether.

  • Who Is Hope Hicks? Who Cares? Trump’s Interim Communications Director Won’t Be There Long

    Senior communications adviser Hope Hicks has been temporarily promoted to White House communications director, and we all know that this assignment won’t last long—not necessarily because Hicks isn’t capable, but because defending the president is proving to be impossible.

  • Hey, Paris Dennard, Woofing Only Works on the Basketball Court Against Nonblacks

    Thank God for the stereotype of the violent black man, not because it’s accurate or because it’s deserved, but because there are people who believe that all black men are violent. As a result, those of us who can’t fight can rest, or coast, on the laurels of those of us who can. My dad…
