  • Hillary Clinton Just Ethered Bernie Sanders, Calling Him a Career Politician Whom 'Nobody Likes'

    Hillary Clinton tried to tell America that they “COULD’VE HAD A BAD BITCH, NON-COMMITTAL,” but America didn’t want to listen.

  • Kellyanne Conway and Don Jr. Gentrify MLK Day With Raisin and Mayo-Laced Bullshit

    Much like cornrows, hips, lips, asses and black men who play basketball, white people love some Martin Luther King Jr. Once a year, they co-opt the holiday observed in his name and act like they loved him his whole life.

    God doesn’t make mistakes, but people do. And sometimes those mistakes look like black aunties, who, in 2020 the year of our Lord Megan Thee Stallion, have the sensibilities of house negroes on dope.

    When historians write about the 45th president, they will have to use photos and crayons or else the president himself won’t be able to read it.
