All the Weird Shit Going On at Neil Gorsuch’s Supreme Court Confirmation Hearing
Admittedly, I watch congressional hearings even when I’m not covering them. I also watch Supreme Court confirmation hearings, but not because I believe anything will change because of them.

Seriously, WTF Is Ivanka Trump Doing in the White House?!
As it stands, Ivanka Trump has no official role in her father’s administration. She wasn’t voted into office, she wasn’t gifted an official title, and yet there she is, in the White House next to her father in confidential meetings with heads of state. And there she is staring lustfully at Canadian Prime Minister Justin…

Trump Gon’ Make Us Lose Our Minds
Maybe The Root is insane. Maybe all the newspapers, cable news shows and pundits that evenhandedly cover Donald Trump, constantly offering him the benefit of the doubt, are doing it right and we are doing it wrong.

James Comey: Trump Is a Liar and Yes, We’re Looking Into Russia Ties (I’m Paraphrasing a Bit)
FBI Director James Comey came for the president with all the receipts his office carries, noting that there was “no information to support” President Donald TrumPutin’s outlandish claim that former President Barack Obama tapped his office during the 2016 election. Appearing before the House Intelligence Committee alongside National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers, both men…

Fox News Pundit Calls for Snoop Dogg and Bow Wow to Be ‘Killed’ for Anti-Trump Comments
It’s one thing to make a parody video about how clown-tastic the president is, the way Snoop Dogg did in “Lavender.” But it’s another for someone to go on television and suggest that Snoop Dogg should be killed. And that’s exactly what Fox News pundit Kimberly Guilfoyle did over the weekend. During an appearance on…

Trump Totally Disrespected Angela Merkel. WTF?
There have been rumors—OK, there was a tape—that our current president has a problem with women. He continually disrespected them during his campaign—calling them slobs, disgusting, blood coming out of their wherever—but his (complicit) daughter Ivanka Trump’s presence sought to absolve him of that.

Why Are We Threatening Crazy Uncle North Korea?
Everyone except this dumb-ass administration knows that North Korea is the crazy uncle in Grandma’s basement that you don’t bother because he’s unstable. You just leave his plate at the top of the stairs and shut the door. But no, not President Vladimir TrumPutin. Because he believes that being president is akin to being Chuck…
