  • If Trump Tweets and No One Reports It, Does It Make a Sound?

    It’s Monday, and that usually means that the president, who has the mental capacity of a teenager in the back of his parents’ car on a road trip vacation he doesn’t want to be on, is tweeting again. Of course, he’s tweeting about Russia and witch hunts and FAKE NEWS (all caps, always all caps)…

  • Prostitutes at Bunny Ranch Threaten to Quit if O.J. Simpson Gets a Job There

    Deplorables are easy to spot, since they’re usually wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat or a white hood or something by Ed Hardy. Another way to tell if you are a deplorable is if prostitutes threaten to quit if you get a job where they work. Apparently, some of the working women at Nevada’s…
