  • A Conspiracy Theorist’s Guide to the US Attack on Syria

    This lying-ass administration will make a conspiracy theorist out of the best of us. Because I don’t believe anything that anyone representing President Vladimir TrumPutin has to say, when word came out that the U.S. had bombed Syria, I was immediately skeptical. Sure, I’d seen the heartbreaking photos of children being killed in a reported…

  • Life Comes at You Fast: Trump Voters Mad That Border Wall Would Put Their Homes on Mexican Side

    When you live under the rule of a dictator, even one that you helped vote into office, you can forget that you live in a dictatorship. I know it’s cool as long as all the weight of his office falls on people who don’t look like you, but what about when you get swept up…

Because America’s Emperor TrumPutin doesn’t take L’s, he now claims that the reason it never went to a vote is that he pulled it, because he’s an oracle. “I didn’t want to…

  • It’s Time for the Trump Administration to Get Hillary Clinton’s Name Out of Their Mouths 

    While we don’t know if Hillary Clinton lost fair and square to President Vladimir TrumPutin, we do know that she lost, and as it stands, the former secretary of state did not win the presidency and does not hold a current position in TrumPutin’s regime. So TrumPutin’s administration really needs to stop dragging her name…
