  • Gentrification Remains Undefeated: DC Cultural Landmark Horace & Dickies Closing After 30 Years

    I am getting older. My memory is getting worse. I drive down streets that I don’t know anymore. The child I used to be is long gone and so are the places that held those memories. The touchstones of my life are getting harder to remember. I feel like at times I’m making up a…

    All 4 Roger Stone Prosecutors Resign From Case as Trump Congratulates DOJ Head for Cutting His Boy Some Slack

    At this point, I’m not sure why Trump is making Attorney General William Barr dance so hard. Maybe he likes watching Barr’s stomach jiggle. Maybe he enjoys knowing just how far the head of the Department of Justice will go to save him. Maybe he’s masochistic. Either way, I’m sure Trump is enjoying the newfound…

    The DOJ Originally Set Roger Stone’s Sentencing at 7 to 9 Years. Then Trump Tweeted and They Changed Their Mind

    It was almost as if Roger Stone, who was convicted of seven counts of obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress, was a regular person. On Monday, federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., filed a sentencing memo recommending that the friend of President Trump get anywhere from 87 to 108 months in prison (which…

    33 Democrats Are on the New Hampshire Primary Ballot, Including Folks Who Aren’t Even Running Anymore

    Don’t worry if you didn’t know that the New Hampshire primary is Tuesday. It’s OK; it just means one of three things: You are a black person. You have a life and don’t give a shit about primaries. You are a black person, who has a life and doesn’t give a shit about primaries. The…

  • The Department of Justice Gave Over $500,000 to 'Hookers for Jesus.' I Wish I Was Joking

    The Department of Justice Gave Over $500,000 to 'Hookers for Jesus.' I Wish I Was Joking

    I believe in hookers. I also believe in Jesus. I believe that both of them are doing the Lord’s work. However, I don’t believe that the Department of Justice should be giving either of them money. The DOJ, however, doesn’t give a shit about what I believe. A whistleblower (no, this isn’t a hooker joke)…

  • Trump’s Mob-Boss Mentality Has Only Strengthened Since His Impeachment Acquittal

    During Trump’s impeachment trial, a rumor began circulating that the president of the United States had threatened GOP senators that their heads would be on a “pike” if they didn’t support Trump. Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) noted that the president was mob-bossing from the White House, but South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and nem…

  • Haters Gonna Say It’s Photoshopped: Trump’s Face Is Out Here Looking Like Stained Tupperware

    President Trump, like most IG “models,” refuses to admit that he doesn’t wake up this naturally orange. We all know that his daily makeup routine includes, at the very least, painting his face with decayed coyote blood. Yet and still, the president keeps claiming that his images have been photoshopped by haters. Late Friday, an…

  • Watch: Nancy Pelosi Dry Snitches on Trump’s Alleged Drug Use

    It’s at these times when I find it best to quote Grecian philosopher Joseph Guillermo Jones II, colloquially known as Jim Jones, from his epic meter, which I’m paraphrasing, but it goes something like: G’s up nigga (G’s up), ho’s down (ho’s down) If Trump can’t swim he gon’ drown (he gon’ drown) House Speaker…

    Russia Is Still All Up in America’s Elections, Dancing

    If America’s election were a music video, then Russia would be 1995 Puffy. According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Russia is still running its disinformation campaign and it has never stopped since the 2016 elections. Wray made the damaging claim during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday. He also added that the “malicious foreign influence”…

  • Insufferable Trump Holds Up Newspaper With ‘Acquitted’ Headline and Blasts Dems During National Prayer Breakfast

    We all knew that the impeachment acquittal of President Donald Trump was going to make him even more impossible to tolerate, and in his first public appearance since convincing Republicans that they better stay the course, Trump didn’t disappoint. On Thursday at, of all places, the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump walked onto the stage like…
