Y’all’s President Is a Lazy Thot
Y’all’s president is one vacationing-ass bitch. It hasn’t even been a smooth full month into Tropicana Jong-il’s four-year term (insert laugh track here), and the man has taken every weekend off. To his credit, much like his racism, his xenophobia, his sexism, his narcissism, his creepy obsession with his daughter and his insecurities, 45 has…

Groundhog Day: Democrats Must Make Sure Russia-Gate Isn’t Like 1996’s ‘China-Gate’
Name a successful president who takes campaign assistance from a “frenemy” of the United States, pretends not to know what his vice president does and does not know, and radically alters foreign policy toward the nation that helped him get into the White House. Raise your hand if you thought of Bill Clinton. As bad…

Report: Trump Will Issue New Executive Order on Immigration Next Week Instead of Fighting Court Case
On the same day the Justice Department told a federal court there would be no point in further court battles over President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration, the president himself said that he will issue a new executive order on immigration by next week.

How Do We Break Up With Russia After Valentine’s Day and Not Look Like a Dick?
Seriously, Valentine’s Day just passed, and while we don’t want to be a dick about it, Russia is starting to become the girlfriend who comes over unannounced, and it’s gone from being cute to creepy. On Tuesday a Russian spy ship was found just chilling off the coast of Delaware. It’s almost like the Russians…

Stephen Miller, the Other Big Racist in the White House
White House Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller has the charm of Hannibal Lector and the ideology of a neo-Nazi who prefers to sit in business class. While Miller’s name was dropped throughout the presidential campaign, it was only last weekend that the other big racist in the White House really made his presence felt after…

Ethics Office: Kellyanne Conway’s Commercial for Ivanka Trump’s Basic Clothes Needs to Be Investigated
I’m rooting for Kellyanne Conway, and here’s why: She’s great! She’s out front spouting foolishness for this low-budget, bootleg administration, and I believe two things about her that won’t change: She’s fearless and she clearly is overmatched on every television appearance she makes, and she won’t stop. Recently she was on Fox & Friends, arguably…

Why National Security Adviser Michael Flynn Didn’t Need to Resign
The Trump administration stinks. It has from the beginning, and two of the major offenses have been the administration’s obvious ties to Cousin Putin and lying. The entire campaign and presidency up to this point have had to answer questions about both, so it seems a little disingenuous that national security adviser Michael Flynn would…

St. Louis Mayoral Candidate Pens Savage Letter to City Paper About Its Systemic Racism
On April 4 the city of St. Louis will have its first mayoral election since the Ferguson protests in 2014. While the suburb of Ferguson has become synonymous across the nation with systemic municipal racism and corruption, St. Louis proper isn’t much better. Although the city has had “Democratic” mayors since the 1970s, city politics…

Republicans Hope for ‘Valentine’s Day Surprise’ in Harlem Election for NYC Council Seat
Most people think of Valentine’s Day as a chance to spend time with the one you love, spend money on the one you want to love or console those who don’t have anyone who loves them anymore. No matter which category you’re in, most people don’t associate Valentine’s Day with voting—which is exactly what the…
