  • Dumb Dullard Donald Trump Is Doing the Damn Most. Again.

    Here is your regular reminder that your “president,” Donald Trump, is a big fat liar. He makes bold and ostentatious claims without any evidence, inflates his own ego with his bald-faced lies, and insults the everyday American people with his inane fabrications.

    The Trump administration contradicted all Republican logic, reversed precedent set by previous administrations and may have broken the law by announcing that the Internal Revenue Service will not delay the running of your money because the IRS will issue tax refunds during the federal government shutdown.

    According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the organization that produces the annual Global Livability Index, Pittsburgh is America’s second most livable city. (Honolulu is first.)

  • Donald Trump Gives a Fake Press Briefing Because Nancy Pelosi Was Getting All the Attention

    Your “president” is a stunt queen who manufactures drama. He doesn’t like anyone to get more attention than he does, and he will do anything to put a stop to that. Today was no exception.

  • Donald Trump Engages in a Little More Revisionist History, aka Lying

    Donald Trump is the epitome of a jilted lover—if said jilted lover had the skin tone of a mandarin, a stupid toupee, and nonexistent intelligence. The reason we can say this is simple: Every time there is another departure from the White House or his administration, he is usually cool with it as long as…

  • The Impossible Marathon of Journalism in 2018

    At first, it felt easy enough to laugh at them. There was Alison Ettel (“Permit Patty”) crouching on a San Francisco sidewalk after confronting a black eight-year-old girl for selling water.

  • The Biggest Losers of 2018: Donald Trump and the American People

    We lost yet again, America. Our president is the biggest idiot that ever lived. We legit have a “serially bankrupt carnival barker” in the highest office in the land, and it appears that for the time being, there is nothing we can do about it. We can no longer hold the office of the presidency…

  • It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye: The Long AF Year of 2018

    It’s that time where people reminisce about the good, the bad and the ugly of their year. Fortunately, I had an amazing year—much of which had to do with becoming a video producer at The Root. (Ask any of my family or friends, I haven’t stopped doing the Milly Rock since.)And despite being an overall…
