Trump to Nominate Late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s Son for Labor Secretary
We all know that President Trump met up with nepotism in a back alley, punched it in the balls, and hit it over the head with one of Ivanka’s kitten heels from her cruisewear line that seems to be exclusively sold at Marshall’s. The man that has given the highest level of security clearance to…

Trump’s Selling Overpriced Straws to Idiots Who Drink Bud Light With a Beer Cozy
Nothing says “I stand with America” like doing coke off a Russian prostitute’s naked ass while using a Trump-branded straw, and thank God the president’s branding team saw fit to add his name and a ridiculous price tag to Trump straws!

Watching Trump’s favorite footstool Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) twerk is becoming one of my favorite boredom activities. Wait, you’ve never seen Republicans twerk? Sure you have. That’s what I call it when they bend over backwards to support the president’s xenophobic, racist, immoral and unconstitutional policies and then begin talking out of their asses. Recently,…

President Dog Whistle Repeats Insidious and Unfounded Claim That Rep. Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother
Stay with me, for a second: A mediocre white man, who inherits the majority of his wealth, claims that he’s a fantastic businessman.
