  • Trump to Ban TikTok App Downloads Because of Y'all's Little Viral Dances

    Disclaimer: I don’t TikTok. I’ve never dropped it low. I don’t wobble and I barely swag surfed. I did, however, once try to push for dance moves to be named after civil rights leaders or significant moments in Black history, including yelling “Do the Rosa Parks!” out loud without officially knowing what, in fact, “doing…

  • Attorney General Bill Barr Has Lost His Damn Mind

    When Trump appointed Bill Barr to be his attorney general, it was clear that Trump wanted a hitman to do his dirty work. He’d already burned through Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation, as Trump believed it was Sessions’ job to insulate and protect him from that inquiry. So it was clear…

  • Skee Wee See Y’all: The Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. Have Been Donating $19.08 to the Biden-Harris Campaign

    Not only are Black women the backbone of the Democratic Party, but never let it be said that the ladies of Alpha Kappa Sorority Inc. don’t take care of their own. Not more than 24 hours after former Vice President Joe Biden announced that California Sen. Kamala Harris, she of the Howard University and doorknocker…

  • Sen. Lindsey Graham Flexed His Tax Returns and Then Played Himself

    South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is what happens when pantyhose, a wet piece of notebook paper, and rotten cauliflower have an orgy on a dimly lit street corner in Florida, and the pantyhose gets pregnant. And as such he continues to do this thing where he straight plays himself. For some reason, Graham, born Horatio…

  • Trump Shares Fake Video of Joe Biden Playing NWA’s Song About the Police. Yep, That Song

    President Trump is a fake president, so it’s not shocking that the president of people who listen to white people’s acoustic versions of NWA songs shared a fake video of Democratic presidential nominee and Kamala Harris’ running mate Joe Biden playing NWA’s “Fuck tha Police.” It’s just another example in a series of attempts by…

  • Trump Interrupted a Black Woman While She Spoke During a Town Hall. It Didn’t Go Well

    Rumor has it that it was a Black woman who walked into then-President George Washington’s dressing chamber and looked at him disapprovingly in his knickers. The Black woman then asked, “You going to wear that?” And just like that, America was saved from wearing little-ass pants. It was a Black woman who walked into Popeyes…

  • Did the Trump Administration Pressure the CDC to Change COVID-19 Reports? Democrats Are Investigating

    It’s no secret that Trump is a COVID-19 denier. In fact, I don’t think there is any denier who has ever been on the right side of history. Not a Holocaust denier. Not a 9/11 denier. Not a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich-will-fuck-your-stomach-up denier. None of them. Now there are reports that Trump’s people put pressure…

  • Trump Thee Dicktator Believes He’s Owed a 3rd Term as President Because Democrats Ruined His First One

    To hear Trump tell it, he would’ve gotten away with everything had not been for those pesky Democrats. So if he wins the upcoming election in November, the president of people who put big-ass tires on little-ass trucks is going to immediately start working on how to run for a third term, because dictator. Ignoring…

    Trump’s Medicare Chief Spent $6 Million of Taxpayers’ Money on Glow Up, Including a $2,933 Girl’s Night Out

    Medicare administrator Seema Verma can’t be blamed for falling victim to the fantasy that is Instagram. Let he who has not overpaid for a Vetements sweater because the power of an IG influencer seeped into your pockets be the first to throw stones. And while most of us were spending our own money, Verma just…
