Even Rihanna Is Trying to Get the Dotard to Pay Attention to Puerto Rico’s Humanitarian Crisis

Another month, another GOP heath care bill, and another complete waste of time.

I Watched CNN Debate Night: The Fight Over Obamacare. I Would Like Most of Those Minutes Back
In theory, a cable news network holding debates between members of different parties arguing over the merits of their respective policies seems like a novel idea.

A Hurricane Devastated Puerto Rico, but Donald Trump Only Cares About White People (Old Kanye Voice)
I know that it’s insane to want President Donald Trump to act presidential. I know that it’s insane to want him to stop tweeting like a boy-obsessed teen who can’t stop mean-girling.

Trump Adds North Korea to His Infamous Travel Ban: Power Move or More Child’s Play From the Idiot in Chief?
We all laughed over the weekend when, in response to Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry saying that he didn’t want to go to the White House, Donald Trump responded with something akin to, “Yeah! Well, I disinvite you anyway!” It was yet another juvenile moment in a long line of juvenile moments this…

10 Things Less Disrespectful Than Kneeling During the Anthem (According to Donald Trump)
According to the twisted logic of Donald J. Trump (the “J” stands for “jerks off to pee porn”), anyone who chooses to kneel during a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” is disrespecting the flag, hates soldiers, and was born to and raised by a bitch. While it is understandable that some are protective of the…
