    When it comes to Republicans, there are apparently two things you can’t fuck with: fertilized eggs and dogs. I think it was Apostle Leon who noted in the Bible that “White people love them some dogs.” Unless you are Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, aka Satan’s phlegm, because he reportedly didn’t just leave his constituents to…

  • Chicago Mayor Spent Millions of COVID Relief Money on Police Payroll

    Damn. When Chicago elected the first openly gay Black female mayor in its history, I, like most of us, was excited. She came in hot using her inauguration speech to bash the corruption that is intrinsic to the Chicago political scene. But things started falling apart quickly. Coronavirus hit and her hopes of ending poverty…

  • Ted Cruz Caught Flying to Cancun While Nearly 3 Million Texans Are Still Freezing Without Power and Heat

    Texas Senator Ted Cruz is worthless. The best thing about Ted Cruz is that he appears to know that he’s worthless. Because if the rumors and photos are true that Cruz is flying his wasted ass to Cancun, Mexico, for a vacation while some 3 million Texans are without heat and power in freezing temperatures…

    Heartless Texas Mayor Resigns After Telling Powerless Residents Facing the Freezing Cold That He’s Tired of Them Looking for Handouts

    The mayor of a West Texas town is a heartless bitch. For some reason, Tim Boyd, who was mayor of Colorado City, Texas, decided that it was a good idea to deliver a typo-ridden, now-deleted Facebook post Tuesday morning bashing residents who are facing freezing temperatures and massive power outages.

  • Trump Wanted to Mock Mitch McConnell’s Multiple Chins in Scathing Statement but Settled for ‘Unsmiling Political Hack’

    What happens to a former president who is banned from social media? Does he make a sound? Does anyone give a shit? Does he know how to use Microsoft Word? On Tuesday, the former president of people who put NERD candy in their spaghetti sauce wrote a scathing diary entry in which he noted that…

    The NAACP, Mississippi Rep.

    Former President Donald Trump may just be your average run-of-the-mill racist without any power and a belly that hangs over his belt, but that hasn’t stopped South Carolina Sen.

  • The Joy of Living Past Your Problems

    I thought I would be dead by 27. I don’t know why I had this number picked out but I remember an old head rapping to me about life the way that old heads do, and at one point, he said something about when he was 27 and I remember thinking, “I don’t got me…
