  • The Mayweather-McGregor Spectacle Just Became Really Racist and Stupid

    Look, I understand that Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor have to sell tickets to this sham disguised as an evenly contested boxing match, but Thursday’s New York City appearance at the Barclays Center just took boxing into racist theatrics that would make even the WWE cringe. In the first two stops (Los Angeles and…

  • 53 Percent of White Women Voted for Trump, Who Just Told France’s First Lady: ‘You’re in Such Good Shape … Beautiful’

    White women confuse me. They always have. If last election vote totals are to be believed, then 53 percent of white women in America voted for the sexist-in-chief, yet 100 percent of white women also sympathize with the fictional white-lady slaves in The Handmaid’s Tale. Let’s just put aside for a moment the fact that the…

  • Trump’s Russia Lawyer Is Out Here Cussing People Out: ‘Watch Your Back, Bitch’

    President Donald Trump’s attorney on Russian matters might have been the sixth member of N.W.A that no one knew about until now. That’s because Marc Kasowitz is as reckless with his curses as the late, great Eazy-E once was. According to several emails published by ProPublica Thursday, Kasowitz didn’t take too kindly to an email…

  • Can Floyd Mayweather Jr. Read?

    One of the ongoing jabs against the pound-for-pound undisputed greatest boxer (sorry, Vasyl Lomachenko) Floyd Mayweather Jr. is that while he’s a multimillionaire with several exotic women at his side, he has trouble reading big words aloud. Like “Worcestershire” and “mischievous.” I believe that the Mayweather rumor got started around the time that Mayweather was…

  • We Need to Talk About Sammy Sosa’s Face

    Former Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa did an interview recently, and I don’t think anyone heard a word he said because Sosa now looks like a chewed eraser. I don’t know what happened to him or who hurt Sosa, but the onetime Cubs great—minus the steroid-use allegations that followed him through the end of his…

  • The President of the US May Have an Imaginary Friend Named Jim

    The president of the United States is in Paris to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron. I wonder if Donald Trump has any plans to meet with his friend “Jim.” According to the president, Jim used to love Paris, but now Jim doesn’t go anymore because the city is fraught with foreign extremists. I wonder…

  • Wait, Did Floyd Mayweather Jr. Just Get Out-Mayweathered by Conor McGregor?

    The Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor spectacle officially began Tuesday as the two fighters kicked off their four-stop tour in Los Angeles to promote Mayweather’s Aug. 26 brutal assault of the MMA fighter. Unless the fighting contract requires Mayweather to box McGregor with one arm tied to his foot, this will not be an even remotely entertaining…

  • President Reportedly Signed Off on Trump Jr.’s 1st Statement on Russian Lawyer Meeting 

    Donald Trump Jr., aka Not-Ivanka, does a pretty good job of being an idiot on his own, so I find it hilarious that President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly helped compose Not-Ivanka’s initial response to allegations that he met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer who he believed had dirt on Hillary Clinton. And get this: President Vladimir…

  • #StayWoke: Iowa Rep. Steve King Wants to Cut Food Stamps to Pay for Trump’s Dumbass Wall

    Iowa’s favorite deplorable Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) wants to slash food assistance for low-income Americans and Planned Parenthood funding to free up money to pay for Trump’s dumbass wall that nobody wants. It wasn’t so long ago when President Pee-Pee Von Pisstown swore that Mexico would be paying for the “yuge, yuge” wall that would…
