The Jake Tapper Interview That Crushed Kellyanne Conway’s Soul
Either top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway is becoming a kinder and gentler version of herself or CNN’s Jake Tapper just handed Conway her hat.

Public Education Is Doomed: VP Mike Pence Casts Tiebreaking Vote to Confirm Betsy DeVos
Betsy DeVos, the woman who has no connection to public schooling or experience running a multimillion-dollar anything, was confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday as U.S. education secretary. The vote went to a 50-50 split after two Republican senators—Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska—went against their party and voted with their heads…

SNL and Melissa McCarthy Are Becoming Anti-Trump Heroes
On paper it doesn’t seem like a likely pairing to have Melissa McCarthy playing White House press secretary Sean “Spicy Facts” Spicer on Saturday Night Live, but it worked beautifully. Somehow, some way, the sketch-comedy show has a direct line to the White House’s insecurities, and it’s pissing off the president and his staff. Shortly…

Trump’s Labor Pick Is a Mess: Hired Undocumented Worker; Ex-Wife Claimed Abuse
Andrew Puzder, the head of the parent company that owns Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., paid an undocumented immigrant to work as his housekeeper for years, and of course, he’s Donald Trump’s pick to head the Labor Department.

How to Write a Donald Trump Speech
President Asshat has never been an orator. In fact, aside from his popular catchphrase “You’re fired” “Grab ’em by the pussy,” I don’t know if he’s ever said anything remotely memorable. Most of his public appearances in his first two weeks in office have appeared to be off-the-cuff. But besides the universal connection of hate…

The Trap House vs. the White House: Why Black America Needed the Falcons to Win
The New England Patriots are racist-adjacent. Their owner and quarterback kick it with the racist-in-chief, who not only openly opposes anything not white and male but openly loves the New England Patriots. So the New England Patriots are racist-related. While they can’t be considered straight-up racist, their helmet emblem is of a white man wearing…

Martellus Bennett Won’t Be Going to Trump’s White House
Turns out there is a black player on the New England Patriots (ha, just kidding; I know they have three black players!), and he isn’t going to the White House. Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett was barely into his celebration in the come-from-behind victory for the ages when he let it be known that he…

Unique Views, Episode 29: Tony Rock Throws Stones at Everyone
There are certain guests who we don’t want to overshadow with our foolishness. Tony Rock is one of those guests. He’s brutally honest and his commentary is dead on. For one, well before President Trump ushered out “his” blacks and shouted out Fredrick Douglass like he was still alive, Rock urged Patti LaDanielle aka Danielle…

Birthing My Half-Black, Half-Pakistani, Full-Muslim Son in the Era of Trump
I went into labor 30 minutes after Donald Trump’s election night speech. I have the worries that any new mother would have about raising a child in the era of Trump, where ugliness is out in the open and civility no longer exists. My son was born pink. Not mocha, like his daddy. I really…

Sure, the Bowling Green Massacre Is Fake, but That Doesn’t Mean We Can’t Mourn Fake Deaths
It isn’t funny. Thousands of fictional people lost their lives! Fictional families are still in mourning trying to pick up the fictional pieces that have been scattered since the fictional Bowling Green Massacre! And it is disrespectful for us to collectively make fun of this fictional tragedy just because it didn’t happen. Senior Trump adviser…
