  • It’s Becoming Hard for GOP to Defend President’s Refusal to Release Tax Returns

    It’s getting hard for Republicans to defend President TrumPutin’s foolishness. On Monday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) was viciously booed during a town hall meeting in Little Rock, Ark., after he tried miserably to defend President I-Do What-I-Want’s refusal to release his tax returns. A resident asked Cotton, who has defended the president’s right not to…

  • Rookie Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch Just Can’t STFU

    On his first day as a Supreme Court justice, Neil Gorsuch asked 22 questions, more than any other justice making his or her first appearance on the highest court in the land.

    Forget Purple Rain: I Rewatched Prince’s Under the Cherry Moon Just for You and Hated Every Minute

    Have you ever seen a film where a man and another man have a conversation while that man is in a bathtub, taking a bath, nekkid, wearing a sombrero while talking to the other man about made-up nonsense? I have seen that film. And that man in the bathtub was Prince, and that nonsensical scene…

  • No Collusion Here: Ivanka Trump Has 3 Trademarks OK’d in China While Dining With Chinese President

    TrumPutin’s administration is a sham. The biggest joke is how is how it has continued to run outside interests like hotels and a clothing label (I’m looking at you, Ivanka!) while also fake-running the country.
