The Trump Administration Gave a Journalist an Award Then Took it Back After Realizing She Criticized Trump and Then They Lied About All of it
The Trump administration is skullduggerish AF. Last year, they honored a journalist from Finland and then took that shit back after learning that she’d posted some harsh words about the great white leader of whiteness on social media. Then, they lied about taking the honor back. According to the Washington Post, apparently journalistic honors are…

Lindsey Graham Finally Understands Righteous America’s True Feelings About Him: ‘They Hate My Guts’
For years, all of us, the collective us that hate everything that Trump’s spray-tanned fingers have touched, have been telling everyone that would listen that Lindsey Graham was the trashiest trash can that ever trashed. Oscar the Grouch literally lives in a trashcan and even he told the Trash Times, (the paper of record for…

Report Finds North Carolina Threw Out Black Voters’ Mail-In Ballots at Twice the Rate of White Voters in 2018
Voter suppression isn’t a new phenomenon. But as the country lurches toward a November election in which President Donald Trump has flatly refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose, concerns over the integrity of the voting process are as high as they’ve ever been. Adding to those concerns is a…

Trump to Ballots: I’m Going to Punch You in the Nuts!
I’m not sure what ballots have done to President Trump but he hates them. Maybe it’s because he knows that ballots can’t be tampered with. Maybe he knows that a physical ballot is a receipt of a vote cast, most likely against his ass. So, the president of people who really wanted to make ass…

Florida Just Doesn’t Want Former Prisoners to Vote
First, Florida voters did something so un-Florida-like that everyone outside of Florida was like, “Bitch, do y’all see Florida?” That’s because in 2018, Florida voters voted to give felons back the right to vote, which, now that I think about it, might be completely Florida-like considering Florida is made up of two things: old people…

Trump to Rep. Ilhan Omar: How’s Your Country Doing? Omar to Trump: This Is My Country, Ho! (OK, I Added the Ho)
Trump knows that he’s down in the polls, so that means tickling the taint of his base, which always involves dimming the lights a bit and putting on some soft mood music and playing the musical stylings from his racist dog whistle. During racism’s birthday party disguised as a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday,…

Republican State Representative: Hey, Sorry About the Recorded Racist, Homophobic Statements I Made
I once called an editor an asshole. I didn’t mean for him to see it. I sent a message over the Washington Post messaging system and, somehow, instead of sending it to the one person I was messaging with, I sent it to the entire newsroom. I freaked out. He’d been my editor during an…

President Trump Continues to Be a Racist, Upholds Ban on Race Discrimination Training
On Tuesday, President Trump extended his ban on race sensitivity and sex-based discrimination training because the president is a serial sexual assaulter who is also a raging racist. And you know who this appeals to? His base, which is a large swath of America’s racists who also believe in sex-based discrimination. His base also carries…

This Is Probably Going to Get Ugly Fast: First Trump-Biden Debate Topics Include Race, Coronavirus and the Supreme Court
There are certain things that we already know are going to be painful to watch. Childbirth is one. Mike Tyson versus Roy Jones is another. And the first debate between a lying white man who can’t watch his mouth and another white man who always wants to fight. Something tells me this is going to…
