  • Trump to Rep. Ilhan Omar: How’s Your Country Doing? Omar to Trump: This Is My Country, Ho! (OK, I Added the Ho)

    Trump knows that he’s down in the polls, so that means tickling the taint of his base, which always involves dimming the lights a bit and putting on some soft mood music and playing the musical stylings from his racist dog whistle. During racism’s birthday party disguised as a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday,…

    Republican State Representative: Hey, Sorry About the Recorded Racist, Homophobic Statements I Made

    I once called an editor an asshole. I didn’t mean for him to see it. I sent a message over the Washington Post messaging system and, somehow, instead of sending it to the one person I was messaging with, I sent it to the entire newsroom. I freaked out. He’d been my editor during an…

  • President Trump Continues to Be a Racist, Upholds Ban on Race Discrimination Training

    On Tuesday, President Trump extended his ban on race sensitivity and sex-based discrimination training because the president is a serial sexual assaulter who is also a raging racist. And you know who this appeals to? His base, which is a large swath of America’s racists who also believe in sex-based discrimination. His base also carries…

  • This Is Probably Going to Get Ugly Fast: First Trump-Biden Debate Topics Include Race, Coronavirus and the Supreme Court

    There are certain things that we already know are going to be painful to watch. Childbirth is one. Mike Tyson versus Roy Jones is another. And the first debate between a lying white man who can’t watch his mouth and another white man who always wants to fight. Something tells me this is going to…

  • Billionaire Michael Bloomberg Pays ‘Poll Tax’ for 32,000 Felons in Florida So They Can Vote

    Florida is fucked up. Like sometimes when I think about hell, I imagine that it’s a lot like Florida without Miami but hotter. Much hotter. Florida is basically America’s illegitimate cousin with a meth problem who you don’t want inside the house but you also don’t want to call the police on. So they just…

  • Trump Continues to Lie About COVID-19, Claims It Isn’t a Risk for Young People

    There are only two kinds of people in the world: Those of us who follow uncompromised science and fucking idiots. I don’t blame those who follow the political stylings of President Trump. (Who am I kidding? Of course, I blame all of y’all shit bags for following this ghoul.) But I must admit that I’m…

  • RBG’s Body Isn’t Even Buried and Sen. Lindsey Graham Is Bragging They Have the Votes to Fill Her Supreme Court Seat

    If there are people who still believe that the Republican Party has a conscience, then I would like to talk to you about a sou-sou in which you give me $20 of actual money and I will give you back $800 of ghost cash. Republicans have one agenda and that’s furthering their agenda. That’s it.…

  • Florida Gov. Just Made It Easy for Drivers to Run Over Black Lives Matter Protesters

    If the Devil hawked a loogie and that mound of phlegm grew feet and arms it would be Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. He might be the only man in politics who is literally dumber than Trump. Trust me, I know exactly what I’m saying. In a move that can only be called “Am I doing…

  • Trump Has Already Narrowed His Supreme Court List Down and Could Announce His Choice by the End of the Week

    I know that I shouldn’t be surprised by the unrelenting heartlessness of this administration, but I am. That’s the truth. I cover politics so generally nothing surprises me anymore, but no sooner than learning that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed, Mitch-ass nigga and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, he of the “we…

  • The Trump Administration Just Announced White Studies Commission

    On Thursday, the president of people who like to take their dogs to Home Depot announced the “Stephen Miller totally wrote this bullshit” declaration called the “1776 Commission” to promote “patriotic education,” which is basically white studies. Oh, and in declaring white studies a thing, he also took shots that the The 1619 Project and…
