  • Unique Views, Episode 34: Can You Hear Us Now?

    This episode is filled with people we hate, HBCU presidents, Ben Carson, embarrassing fat moments that Ms. Patti Patti and I bond over, and Donald Trump’s usual foolishness. But first, an apology. I want to apologize to all the listeners who have had to endure over 30 episodes of The Root’s podcast and have not…

  • President TrumPutin Hates the Arts, According to 1st Budget Blueprint

    President Vladimir TrumPutin wants to be such a tough hard-ass that he keeps picking fights even when there are none. Currently the U.S. is beefing with Mexico. Mexico? We loved Mexico prior to TrumPutin’s reign. Now Mexico hates us because of this dumb-ass wall that no one wants. On Thursday the president unveiled his first…

  • 3 Reasons I Believe TrumPutin Released His Own Taxes, and 1 Reason I Don’t

    When Rachel Maddow tweeted that she had Vladimir TrumPutin’s tax return, it was as if Beyoncé and Frank Ocean had made a duets album that leaked at midnight. We all rushed to see what the hell she’d found. But in the end it was less Blond Lemonade and more Geraldo, his dumb-ass mustache and Al…

  • Rep. Steve King Is Starting to Sound Like a Damn Nazi

    It’s becoming very difficult to report on Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa because half the time, I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about. On Sunday he tweeted, “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.” What the hell does that even mean? Looking at King’s sketchy-ass past, one can assume that…

  • Paul Ryan Was a Savage Before Trump Became President; Now He’s a Lapdog 

    The newly leaked tape of House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) talking real tough before Vladimir TrumPutin became president reminds me of the time I got caught shooting dice with the older boys in my neighborhood. I couldn’t have been older than 10, and before my mom caught me, I was in the alley behind my…

    New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says that while U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was the CEO of Exxon Mobile Corp., he used an email alias to discuss the risks that climate change posed.

  • Why Can’t We Cover Trump’s Twitter Fingers and His Presidency?

    President Vladimir TrumPutin has been a busy man since taking office. Mostly he’s been busy hiding his taxes from the American public, and hiding his relationship with Russian operatives. He’s surely spent time keeping the video of paid Russian thots R. Kelly-ing all over a hotel room out of the hands of the public, and…

  • Sean ‘Spicy Facts’ Spicer Moonwalks Back Claims That Obama Wiretapped Trump Tower

    Man, this administration reminds me of a movie I saw a while ago where a family completely forgot a kid at home and went on vacation and then hilarity ensued.
