Trump: This Is All Bob Woodward’s Fault
On Wednesday, excerpts from Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward’s new book, Rage, began popping up online. From those snippets, we learned that President Trump not only knew that the coronavirus was deadly but he was literally told this pandemic would be the worst moment of his presidency by one of his advisers. The president…

Puck From The Real World and the Rest of Trump’s Possible Supreme Court Picks Should He Get Reelected
We already know that Trump doesn’t know how any of this works. He literally doesn’t understand the workings of the government and claims that he doesn’t have to because he understands his voters, and he might be right. Trump knows that in order to move the needle he’s got to keep presenting what another four…

Bob Woodward’s New Book Claims Trump Knew COVID-19 Was Deadly and Lied About It
World-renowned journalist Bob Woodward has the distinction of being one of the only journalists (along with Carl Bernstein) who brought down a presidency, so I don’t know why presidents keep talking to him. That would be like Al Capone sitting down with Eliot Ness or the one white Atlanta Housewife sitting down with NeNe Leakes…

Some Norwegian Man Has Nominated Trump for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, and It Totally Makes Sense
2020 has been a dumpster fire of a year. If 2020 were an actress it would be Lisa Raye in that stripper movie. If 2020 were a rapper it would be Magoo or Kreayshawn. If 2020 were an outfit it would be the president of the United States in a kitten heel. So nothing surprises…

Herman Cain Tweets the Coronavirus Is Not That Deadly, Weeks After Dying From the Disease Caused by the Coronavirus
I don’t know who is running Herman Cain’s account but if it is Herman Cain’s ghost I’m going to need him to go after the Republicans who didn’t even bother to mention his name during the Republican National Convention. It’s almost as if Cain never really left since Republicans didn’t seem to give a shit…

Trump Calls Armed American Terrorists Who Stormed Portland ‘Great Patriots,’ Completely Ignores Their Violent Actions
The president of American terrorists is doing that thing in which he celebrates violence against American protesters. On Sunday, the president of people who believe that pajamas are appropriate to wear to Walmart called for federal forces to quell protests in American cities while a group of pickup-driving Trump loyalists, deputized by their whiteness, were…

Earn Our Votes: The Black National Convention Aims to Set an Agenda That Both Political Parties Must Address
If there won’t be peace, then let there be a lesson in the destruction of Black bodies. Let the funerals of those unarmed Black bodies killed by police resonate on a frequency so high that it breaks through white silence, shakes the rafters of white supremacy, and seeps into the consciousness of America. Let the…

Day 4: Satan Slept, and What We’ve Learned Now That the Republican National Convention Has Ended
So what did we learn? We learned that the end is just like the beginning. We learned that the mind can convince itself of anything. We learned that Trumpism doesn’t care about Black life, but we knew that. We learned that there are some Black people who will gain the world (or just white gaze)…
