President Mein Führer von SpankDat is excluded from the “most hated in the White House” game because he would win every time. Before Monday’s press conference with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on the youth internment camps—which used to be big-box department stores or warehouses before…
Ilhan Omar is a Somali-American politician who escaped from Somalia as a child, grew up in a Kenyan refugee camp and later immigrated to Minnesota.
If the fate of the world rested on Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ ability to answer a question about anything from elementary-level math to what she ate for breakfast, I’d pray only that we all got at least five phone calls to tell our loved ones goodbye. If DeVos were in a mental-math Olympics against a giraffe,…
Much has been said of the government responses to the opioid epidemic—specifically that it is leniently and sympathetically called an epidemic (I agree with that assessment), with sights set on healing and treatment. While necessary to combat the issue, the sympathy with which our nation views the current drug…
Do you know how hard it is, in a week of Kanye and Candace and Ben and Bill, to still win the Most Embarrassing Negro of the Week Award? That takes a special kind of dedication. A commitment to such a grotesque caricature of blackness that even Michael Rapaport would let time expire before picking you in the racial…
On Thursday, Compton, Calif., Mayor Aja Brow, the superhero foil to right-wing Stacey Dash’s bogus attempt at politics, has made it official: She announced that she is indeed running for Congress.
Compton, Calif., Mayor Aja Brown is considering throwing her hat into the congressional ring after black apologist and overall deplorable Stacey Dash announced that she would be running for office.
President Donald Trump is batshit crazy, and one of the good things about being batshit crazy is that you don’t have any loyalty to anyone—therefore, anybody can get it.
Saturday is the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, and you must admit that he’s managed a pretty radical transformation of America. He’s turned his White House into the location of a horrible reality show. He’s turned Twitter into a weapon of mass destruction. He’s made the United States…
I believe I have my own white-savior story that might actually be a Magical Negro story at the same damn time.
Before we run to nominate Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) as the designated white man to bring cups, plates, napkins and other nonfood items to the cookout because of the scorched-earth flames he threw on the Senate floor—in which he compared President Donald Trump to Joseph Stalin—let’s be selective about who gets into…
On a macro level and, I think, by most objective measures, 2017 was a fairly shitty year. I don’t have the time or disposition to run down everything that went wrong, but in a nutshell: Our president sucks, Congress sucks, our white electorate sucks, white people keep white-folkin’, we lost a bevy of great people and…
In what is probably the least shocking news coming out of the Trump White House and the deplorable Republican Congress, the tax bill that will help no one but Congress members and those in the top 1 percent has been approved resoundingly by both chambers of Congress with no Democratic support.
Now that bigotry and racism is house-sitting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., it seems fitting that ex-Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio—who was so vile and xenophobic that the courts ordered him to stop targeting Latinos in Arizona, but he refused and was sent to prison until the xenophobe in chief pardoned him—may…
Updated Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2017, 1:30 p.m. EST: Rep. John Conyers has released a full statement “expressly and vehemently” denying allegations of sexual misconduct after a BuzzFeed report found that his office had settled with a former employee who had accused of him of inappropriate advances.
Puerto Rico’s power authority, PREPA, has awarded a lucrative contract to rebuild the island’s devastated power grid to a small, 2-year-old Montana firm that had only two full-time employees at the time Hurricane Maria hit, according to a report by the Washington Post.
It’s a sad day when Congress has to pass legislation urging the president of the United States to speak out against racist hate groups, but that’s where we are, ’Merica.
Former President, and my president for life, Barack Obama promised that he wouldn’t armchair-quarterback current President Donald von DoucheFace’s presidency. Mostly because he knew that Trump was a disaster waiting to happen and he didn’t want to have to continually answer to von DoucheFace’s slipups.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is chairman of the House oversight committee, and his foot looks like something out of a Terminator movie. I don’t trust shaky Chaffetz as far as I can throw him, so who even knows if the photo he posted to Facebook on Wednesday is even his foot, but if it is, his foot is a mess.
Democrat Jon Ossoff, 30, almost turned a GOP stronghold blue Tuesday night in a special election to see who will take over Georgia’s 6th Congressional District.
