    Why Biden Must Choose Shalanda Young Now That Neera Tanden’s Nomination Has Failed

    If any of you thought that Republicans weren’t going to continue their all-out efforts to fuck over America then you would be wrong. But surely none of you thought that since Republicans have been tirelessly working to overthrow the government to create a more perfect QAmerica. So now the move is to care about all…

  • Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan Wants to Have a Hearing on ‘Cancel Culture,’ Because Jim Jordan Is a Goddamn Idiot

    Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is the congressman who refuses to wear a blazer. As such he’s earned the moniker “Jacketless Jim Jordan.” Jim Jordan is also the former assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State accused of aiding in a coverup of sexual assaults by team doctor Dr. Richard Strauss, who reportedly abused team members from…

    South Dakota’s COVID-19 Numbers Are Trash. So Why Did the Governor Praise the Job She Did at CPAC?

    The Conservative Political Action Conference is a lot like prison. They are both full of gangs like the Crips and the QAnons. Both places house liars, robbers, and thieves. And at CPAC, aka white freaknik, just like in prison, you can be anyone you want to be. Take South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem (R),…

  • New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Is an Asshole and His Fake Apology Proves It

    As it stands, two women who worked for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo have accused him of sexual harassment and this might be the undoing of the Italian with the chin divot who still hasn’t told us what the fuck happened to the residents in nursing homes who died of coronavirus because he’s an asshole.…

  • During His Presidency Obama Found That White Hate of Black People Made Reparations a Pipe Dream

    It isn’t that the first Black president didn’t believe or want to give Black folks their 40 acres and a mule; it’s just the level of white hate he witnessed during his time in office made the push for reparations a “non-starter.” “So if you ask me theoretically: ‘Are reparations justified?’ The answer is yes,”…

  • Senate Referee Shoots Down Minimum Wage Increase, Now Some Democrats Want Her Fired

    Let’s play a game, shall we? Can anyone tell me what the minimum wage was in 2009? How about 2011? What about 2015? If you guessed slave wages, you are right. For the past 12 years the minimum wage has been $7.25. That’s it. For perspective I’d like to add that in 2009, “Boom Boom…

  • It’s Finally Happened: Manhattan District Attorney Has Trump’s Tax Returns

    There are only a few things harder than getting your hands on Trump’s tax returns. The first is getting Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder not to objectify his cheerleaders. The second is having fewer commercials for Coming to America 2. The third and probably most difficult is getting Jared Kushner not to look like…

  • One of Biden’s Cabinet Picks Is Looking Doomed, but Her Replacement Could Be a Black Woman and That’s Fine by Me

    One of Biden’s Cabinet Picks Is Looking Doomed, but Her Replacement Could Be a Black Woman and That’s Fine by Me

    I know that I was in full cape mode for all of President Joe Biden’s picks when I learned that Republicans were being extra hard on those of color. Then I learned about Shalanda Young, and sadly it has made Neera Tanden’s bid as the director of the Office of Management and Budget expendable for…

    Biden’s Nominees of Color Facing More Intense Republican Scrutiny Than His White Picks. If Only We Knew Why

    It would be nice to live in a world where everything made sense. For example, I’d love to know why Taylor Swift is so popular in America, yet I don’t know one Black person who can sing three of her songs. I’d love to know why Colin Kaepernick doesn’t have a job yet a Trump-loving…
