  • Unique Views, Episode 32: Lil Rel and Lil Racism

    Every week I learn something new about my co-host, Patti LaDanielle, aka Danielle Young, and this week I learned that she loves Lil Zane more than Lil Bow Wow. According to Ms. Patti Patti, Lil Bow Wow’s music career regressed as he got older, and Lil Zane never hurt anyone. Let me back up a…

  • Trump’s CPAC Speech Is Like All the Rest of Them: A Word-Vomit Salad of Stupidity

    In 2015 Donald Trump was booed at the Conservative Political Action Conference. So after that, Trump got tight and wasn’t fucking with CPAC. He blew off the gathering of conservatives in 2016, and here is the funny part: CPAC didn’t care, because they weren’t fucking with him, either. In a 2016 CPAC poll of Republican…

  • ESPN vs. ESPN: Hosts Get Racial Over Magic Johnson’s Promotion

    It’s ESPN-on-ESPN violence after two sports broadcasters for the network started a war of words over the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent announcement that Magic Johnson would become its new president of basketball operations. It started when radio host Dan Le Batard took to his ESPN morning-radio show to blast Johnson’s promotion. “What you’ve got here,…

  • FBI Refused White House Request to Tell Public Trump-Russia Stories Were False: Report

    Now, this is getting interesting: The FBI reportedly rejected a White House request to stop media reports about communication between President Donald Trump’s associates and the Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign. Of course, a White House official claims the request was only made after the FBI learned the reports were false, but at this…

  • Because the Trump Administration Hates Us All, Justice Department to Crack Down on Recreational Weed Use

    The White House has already gone forward with building the controversial pipeline and has put people in positions of power who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing; now, as if the world weren’t already doing badly enough, they’re coming for the weed. That’s right; they don’t think the world feels the full weight of…

  • CPAC Denounces ‘Alt-Right,’ Which Is Kind of Like Wu-Tang Denouncing Ghostface Killah 

    Looks like the Conservative Political Action Conference, unlike the current administration, is not here for the “alt-right” and all their racist bullshit. According to the Washington Post, one of the first speeches made at CPAC this year was one that asked the media to stop referring to the “alt-right,” aka white supremacy, as a conservative…

  • Nice Job, Jameis: Tampa Bay QB Delivers Sexist Speech to Elementary School Kids

    It was supposed to be an inspiring speech by an NFL quarterback. Instead, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis “Crab Legs” Winston decided to tell children—that’s right, little boys and girls—that men are strong and women should be silent. The Tampa Bay Times reports that Winston stood before third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at Melrose Elementary in…

  • Wait, the Ariz. Senate Just Passed Bill Allowing Cops to Do What to Protesters? 

    Looks like the Republican-controlled Arizona Senate is following the Trump playbook to denounce all things it doesn’t like, since it has passed a bill to allow authorities to seize the assets of protesters. That’s right. If a protest turns violent, whether people were engaged in the violence or not, just being at the protest would…

  • Donald Trump Is Basically ‘Black Bush’ From Chappelle’s Show

    At this point I’m convinced that President Asshat is trolling us. That he believes none of the stuff he says or does, and in the end he’s just re-enacting the “Black Bush” skit played brilliantly by Dave Chappelle on Chappelle’s Show. During an impromptu press conference at the White House last week, Asshat was asked…
