    Can you feel it? The walls are closing in on this Negan-ass administration. It feels like it’s only a matter of time—except I don’t trust this Republican Congress, which makes me feel like we might have to endure years of this, and that would be horrible—but for now just go with me.

  • Obama on Trump: ‘He’s Nothing but a Bullshitter’

    Barack Obama doesn’t get upset; in fact, he rarely loses his cool. It was one of the things that troubled me about his presidency. I really just wanted him to stop it with the politics of racial representation and threaten to kick someone’s ass. It isn’t really his fault, though; he knew how to play…

    Because President Vladimir TrumPutin has no idea what in the hell he’s doing—and that includes, I don’t know, showing classified material to Russian officials—a senior European official has told the Associated Press that since our president can’t even hold water, his country may stop sharing classified info with the United States.
