  • NYT Columnist Charles Blow Is Not Your Negro and He’s Not Here for Trump Shade, Ever

    If you are unfamiliar with Charles Blow, let me speed you up: He’s never here for the fuckshit. He’s educated, informed and opinionated and isn’t willing to “play nice” during Donald Trump’s dictatorship.

  • Trump Believes All Black People Are Friends, Asks Black Reporter to Set Up Meeting With Congressional Black Caucus

    President Donald Trump held a press conference, which means that he did something stupid. Sure, he brought up Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, since that is becoming the norm for him, but this time he started to let his inner racist asshole come through. During the press conference Thursday, a black reporter, April Ryan,…

  • Leaked Emails Show Clarence Thomas’ Wife Supports Trump and His Muslim Ban: Report

    Looks like Clarence Thomas’ wife is not only in support of the asshat-in-chief but actually sent out an email on a conservative Listserv trying to mobilize support around his policies. “What is the best way to, with minimal costs, set up a daily text capacity for a ground up-grassroots army for pro-Trump daily action items…

  • How Do We Break Up With Russia After Valentine’s Day and Not Look Like a Dick?

    Seriously, Valentine’s Day just passed, and while we don’t want to be a dick about it, Russia is starting to become the girlfriend who comes over unannounced, and it’s gone from being cute to creepy. On Tuesday a Russian spy ship was found just chilling off the coast of Delaware. It’s almost like the Russians…

  • The White House Had Russia on Its Friends-and-Family Cellphone Plan

    The latest news coming out of the White House is only shocking if you believe that a restaurant in Washington, D.C., was really a secret meeting place for high-profile pedophiles or believe that the New York Times is failing, but it turns out that the White House and Russia kick it.

  • Ethics Office: Kellyanne Conway’s Commercial for Ivanka Trump’s Basic Clothes Needs to Be Investigated 

    I’m rooting for Kellyanne Conway, and here’s why: She’s great! She’s out front spouting foolishness for this low-budget, bootleg administration, and I believe two things about her that won’t change: She’s fearless and she clearly is overmatched on every television appearance she makes, and she won’t stop. Recently she was on Fox & Friends, arguably…

  • Ex-ESPN Announcer Sues, Claims He Never Called Venus Williams ‘Gorilla’ 

    So this one is a bit of a head-scratcher, and I think the initial villain may have a point. So, back in January, former ESPN tennis announcer Doug Adler used the term “gorilla effect” to describe Venus Williams’ domination over Switzerland’s Stefanie Voegele during the Australian Open.
