Everybody Hates Trump (Except White People)
This morning—and every morning since Jan. 20—if you turned on your TV, you were likely to hear pundits and experts talk about how Americans are fighting against, upset with and resisting the presidency of Donald Trump. (It has been a month and I still dry-heave when I say it.) The consensus from every media source—including…

Election to Lead Democratic Party Was a Bigger Victory for Black Voters Than You Think
Over the weekend, the Democratic Party elected Tom Perez, a Latino civil rights attorney and former labor secretary under President Barack Obama, a man whose only successful campaign was as a county official 15 years ago, to lead the party out of its lowest position in 75 years. Democrats lost 64 house seats in the…

How Many Damn Defenses of That Basket of Deplorables Do We Need?
Last November, a majority of white people in America voted for a bigot for president. If you voted for a man who campaigned on xenophobia, racism, sexism and other strains of bigotry, you either share his prejudices or you are complicit in them. The former makes you an audacious racist; the latter, a bystander, which…

Trump’s CPAC Speech Is Like All the Rest of Them: A Word-Vomit Salad of Stupidity
In 2015 Donald Trump was booed at the Conservative Political Action Conference. So after that, Trump got tight and wasn’t fucking with CPAC. He blew off the gathering of conservatives in 2016, and here is the funny part: CPAC didn’t care, because they weren’t fucking with him, either. In a 2016 CPAC poll of Republican…

Putin Wants to Get Under the Wig of Sunkist Stalin After Realizing He Helped Elect the Political Equivalent of a Quick Weave as President
No shade to the Kremlin, but if you have to pay for a psychological dossier on Sunkist Stalin, there’s a reason Muva Russia has gone from global superpower to Broke-Bitch Nation. Yes, such a declaration may lead to my emails being hacked, my nudes being spread like a dope Spotify playlist and God knows what…

Welcome to the America Black People Have Always Lived In
Good morning! It is so great to see all of you gathered here on this lovely day! From the looks on your faces, many of you seem disturbed to find yourself in this meeting, but trust me, you should be thankful. I thought that by the first month into Donald Trump’s presidency, we’d be 0n…

Mike Pence Doesn’t Like Condoms, Waited Forever to Stop HIV Crisis and Probably Only Likes Missionary Sex; He’s No Friend to Anti-HIV/AIDS Causes
Mike Pence is Lucifer if instead of creating hell after being drop-kicked out of heaven, Lucifer decided to land in Indiana and become a politician. Pence is nothing more than ugliness presented with pleasantries. Some appear to find that impressive—at least in comparison with President Minute Maid Mao. This is akin to arguing that Jeremih…

Donald Trump Is Basically ‘Black Bush’ From Chappelle’s Show
At this point I’m convinced that President Asshat is trolling us. That he believes none of the stuff he says or does, and in the end he’s just re-enacting the “Black Bush” skit played brilliantly by Dave Chappelle on Chappelle’s Show. During an impromptu press conference at the White House last week, Asshat was asked…
