Kellyanne Conway’s Husband Has a Brutal Nickname for Trump and It’s Perfect
I don’t spend time thinking much about counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway and her husband George Conway’s relationship but whenever I do, I have a few thoughts: How long has Kellyanne been part of the undead? How does George list Kellyanne on their taxes and can you file jointly if one person is dead?…

Trump Calls Impeachment a ‘Hoax’. Remains Impeached
At this point, Trump can call the impeachment proceedings anything he wants, but it isn’t going to stop the inevitable. After meeting turncoat New Jersey Rep.

Sometime last week, President Trump’s former campaign chair was treated for a “cardiac event,” which could be anything from acid reflux to something more serious. And while Manafort’s health is a concern, his changing hair color is all I care about. Did you know that Manafort was using “Just for White Men”? Apparently Manafort had…
