  • Trump Wants to Posthumously Pardon Muhammad Ali, Who Rolled Over in His Grave so the President Could Kiss His Ass

    Not sure if Donald Trump believes that all deceased black boxers need pardoning or if he just likes pardoning things, but during his nearly 18-minute rant on the White House lawn Friday before heading off to embarrass America once again on the global stage at the G-7 summit, the president floated the idea of pardoning…

  • Terrell Owens Could Be on MTV’s The Challenge, but He Can’t Go to His Own Hall of Fame Induction

    No one tells Terrell Owens what to do. Part of that is what made him one of the most polarizing wide receivers in the NFL, and the other part of that is why he isn’t going to his own Hall of Fame induction ceremony, even though he participated in arguably MTV’s worst show, The Challenge.…

  • The Patriotic President From Patriotism-ville Doesn’t Know the Words to ‘God Bless America’

    If this were a movie, you would have walked out of the theater by now. On Tuesday, after President Donald Trump disinvited the champion Philadelphia Eagles to the White House and threw an all-wypipo party instead, he was caught mumbling the lyrics to “God Bless America.” Seriously, after all of his patriotic bullshit, not to…

  • North Korea Won’t Give Up Nuclear Weapons, but It’s Willing to Build a Fast-Food Joint in Honor of Trump: Report

    In what might be arguably the weirdest story to come out of the Trump administration, it turns out that North Korea has no intention of giving up nuclear weapons, but it will consider adding a Western-style burger joint in Pyongyang as a show of good faith. Umm, the fuck? How are these two things even…

  • Booing Rudy Giuliani During Yankees Game Was the Wrong Play; He’s Really a Spy for the Resistance

    New York is a liberal state, and it has been for quite some time. I’m not including all the racist parts upstate where black people don’t travel—only the five boroughs of New York City and other parts that are accessible by subway. So on the surface, it makes sense that Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s…

    On Wednesday, Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie told the Senate that President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign—more specifically, former chief strategist Steve Bannon—hired the firm with the intention of using data to “discourage or demobilize certain types of people from voting,” The Hill reports.

  • Trump Didn’t Know the Difference Between HIV and HPV, so Bill Gates Explained It to Him—Twice

    At this point it might be better for everyone to keep a running list of things that President Donald Trump does know. So far my list contains racism, lying, paying for sex, Russian prostitutes, KFC, punching his staff, lying, xenophobia and lying. In newly revealed footage, the embarrassment of the entire United States showed just…
