  • 2 Churches in Texas and Georgia Reopened. Now They’re Closed as Leaders and Churchgoers Test Positive for COVID-19

    Georgia and Texas—arguably two of the most racist states in the history of America—have done a soft reopening and are now watching as the coronavirus numbers keep going up like a club on a Tuesday. Two churches in those states that also recently reopened were forced to shut back up after churchgoers and “religious leaders…

  • When Old Racists Learn How to Use Twitter: Trump Tweet-Threatens to Withhold Funding to Michigan, Nevada Over Mail-in Voting

    President Trump is what happens when old racists learn how to use Twitter. First, they figure out that the world can read what they are typing, and then they believe that they are important because they’ve successfully tweeted out something to the world. Over time, they become more relaxed and start to believe the power…

    The Crazy Story of Washington Football Wide Receiver Cody Latimer, the Gun and the Claim of a Sexual Assault on a 4-Year-Old

    We are supposed to be quarantining y’all. There shouldn’t even be a moment for an NFL player to get arrested, and yet, here we are in the year of Satan’s favorite president. On Saturday, Washington football team wide receiver (which is the same as saying the D-League of the NFL) Cody Latimer was arrested after…

    Florida Scientist Fired for Refusing to Manipulate COVID-19 Data to Justify Reopening State

    Trump wants America to reopen because he’s more concerned about the economy’s lifeline than he is about the people he governs. That’s a fact. The president of the United States is also a liar and as such those around him, or those who want to stay in his good graces, also have to lie; think…

  • Nancy Pelosi Throws Stimulus Package-Sized Shade at President, Calls Trump ‘Morbidly Obese’

    Imagine a world in which the president claims to take medicine and no one believes him. Imagine a world in which the medicine the president claims to be taking could potentially be deadly yet he won’t stop lying about taking it. Imagine a world in which that same president eats tons of McDonald’s and doesn’t…

  • Trump Just Claimed He’s Taking Hydroxychloroquine. He's Probably Lying and 2 More Ways to View This Revelation

    The president of the United States ran out here and purchased a Cadillac Escalade full of hydroxychloroquine, the drug that, at one point, showed a glimmer of hope against the coronavirus, but new research showed that it may be more fatal for some, especially those with heart conditions, and for those it didn’t kill, it…

    Texas Was One of the First States to Reopen. It Just Had Its Largest Single-Day Jump In COVID-19 Cases

    Raise your hand if you thought that opening up states while the pitbull of viruses was still off its leash was a good idea. Great, I now know which one of y’all is Republican because only a Trump voter who believes in the Space Force would agree with such stupidity. Or a Texas government official,…

  • The Most Grossly Incompetent President Just Fixed His Anus-Shaped Mouth to Come for Obama

    President Donald Trump is Future. He’s not the future, he’s like Future the rapper. He’s the disgruntled ex who is watching his former lady move on with Russell Wilson, aka President Obama. It’s why he can’t keep the former president’s name out of his mouth. Obama is beloved by America and well, President Trump is…

    Fired Inspector General Was Getting Too Close to Solving Dog Walker, Dry Cleaning-Gate

    The Trump administration refuses to respect boundaries. It’s almost as if the president believes that just because Ben Carson, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, comes over and does the Trump’s family laundry that everyone is available to do house chores. Steve Linick, “the quasi-independent watchdog whose job it was to expose waste and malfeasance…

  • Mitch McConnell: My Bad, Obama Did Leave a Pandemic Playbook But I Couldn’t See It From Inside Trump’s Ass

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has made no apologies about creating a safe space inside President Trump’s ass. As such, he’s found himself spouting claims he heard Trump say without fact-checking because, like most Trump supporters, he doesn’t give a shit. So when Trump claimed that he wasn’t given the keys to the White…
