Twitter And The 2016 Presidential Debate: A Match Made In Hell
There are a few instances in my life where I was keenly aware that I was making the wrong decision; when I bought a ticket to see Batman vs Superman, when I decided to drink two cups of a mysterious alcoholic beverage named ‘Blue Muthafuckas’, when I said “I do”….. Every time I can recall…

Trump's 'Nasty Woman' Comment Backfires as 'Nasty Women' Rise Up for Clinton
Donald Trump turned his ratchet ridiculousness up to epic levels last night during the third and final presidential debate. Shortly after Trump boasted that “no one has more respect for women than me,” he called Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman.” During the debate, Clinton said: “My Social Security payroll contribution will go up, as will…

Well, This Is Awkward: Obama's Half Brother to Be Trump's Guest at Wednesday's Debate
First it was Bill Clinton’s accusers; now Donald Trump is bringing President Barack Obama’s half brother, Malik, to the final presidential debate Wednesday. It’s unclear what Trump hopes to accomplish by bringing Obama’s brother, who has dual citizenship and spends most of his time in Kenya and some time in Washington D.C., to the debate,…

Michelle Obama Is The Best Thing About America
A few weeks from now, the country will decide if Donald Trump — a unabashed bigot, racist, misogynist, xenophobe, charlatan, and chickenhawk — will be our next President; the person we choose to be America’s representative to the rest of the world; essentially the most important motherfucker on Earth.

For Colored Folk Who Have Considered Suicide When This Election Was Too Much
There is not a lot of joy this election season. Everyone knows that we probably won’t live to see another ridiculously upbeat campaign season like 2008, when it was literally “cool” to go out and vote for then-Sen.

How Trump Turned the 2nd Debate Into a Rap Battle
Sunday’s debate showed one thing about Donald Trump that I’d never noticed: He is thoroughly versed in the Loaded Lux playbook of battle rap. Just 90 minutes prior to Sunday’s town hall showdown versus Hillary “Supa Predatah” Clinton, Trump hosted a Facebook Live press conference with several women who’d accused the former president and current…

Hillary Clinton Needs to Let the 'Bitch' Loose on Trump
I ran for office once. My opponent was a loud, sugar-hyped seventh-grader, and we were running for seventh-grade class president. Although he didn’t have an orange tan or comb-over like Donald Trump, he was just as big a bully as Trump. But that’s expected in the seventh grade. During our run for class president, this…

The #TrumpTape Debate: Either Hillary Clinton Wins the Debate or America Has Lost Its Way
Donald Trump is in serious trouble with his own party heading into the crucial town hall debate against Hillary Clinton on Sunday night. Not because he denies climate change, threatens to nuke half the world, won’t share his finances, most likely didn’t pay taxes for 20 years, stiffed hundreds of employees, offers a safe haven…
