For Kellyanne Conway Haters Who Need Support When Shouting at the TV Is Not Enough
I should have known Kellyanne Conway couldn’t be trusted when it became all too apparent that she couldn’t be bothered to place trust in a comb before appearing on national television. If that sounds cruel to you, to quote my spiritual adviser, Beyoncé, “I ain’t sorry,” so don’t anticipate any Anita Baker-grade apology from me.…

Lawsuit Against Marilyn Mosby Could Make Prosecutors More Fearful of Going After Abusive Cops
When a federal judge made the unusual move earlier this month to allow key parts of a lawsuit filed by five of the six police officers in the Freddie Gray case to go forward against Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby (as well as Assistant Sheriff Samuel Cogen, who wrote the statement of probable cause),…

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up: Donald Trump’s 1st Interview on ABC
I don’t believe in assigning President Trump silly nicknames. There is no combination of orange, hand, marigold or pumpkin jokes or references that either makes me chuckle or truly demonstrates who or what he is. Why? Primarily because who Donald Trump is, and what he represents, isn’t funny and runs much deeper than a few…

I’ll Be Skipping the Pity Party Held by Honeysuckle Lenin Voters
As the pool of white tears begins to flood from the influx of supporters of our newly elected authoritarian who are expressing regret over their votes, allow me to extend the following invitation to one and all: Drown. Recently, USA Today published an op-ed entitled, “I Voted for Trump, Not Against Planned Parenthood.” In it,…

In Less Than a Week, Donald Trump Has Rick James-ed All Over America’s Couch
He’s been in office less than a week and he’s already wreaking havoc. In his first full day playing president, Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, issued a hiring freeze on the federal workforce and took federal funding from all nongovernmental agencies that perform abortions. In subsequent days, he pushed for…

Roxane Gay Pulls Upcoming Book From Publisher Simon & Schuster Over Milo Yiannopoulos Deal
Roxane Gay is not here for Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos. Little surprise, since Yiannopoulos is a raging racist. So racist, in fact, he was banned from Twitter after leading an online harassment campaign against comedian and actor (and queen) Leslie Jones. Anyway, the iconic author put her money where her mouth is. Gay was all…

Don’t Save Melania Trump; She Don’t Wanna Be Saved
When it comes to Melania Trump, multiple things can be true if you try really, really hard not to operate at the same intellectual level as her dimwitted husband. Like, even if Slovenia’s new favorite daughter chose to pose nude back in her modeling days, it was wrong for the New York Post to publish…

Your Ultimate Auntie, Rep. Maxine Waters, Takes ‘Knuck if You Buck’ Stance on Trump
Maxine Waters should be tired. At 78 years old, she shouldn’t be the congresswoman leading the fight against Donald Trump, but don’t tell her that. She’s fought bigger and tougher, and to her, this is the fight in front of her and she isn’t the running type. Serving since 1991 as the U.S. representative for…

Trump Calls for ‘Major Investigation’ Into Nonexistent Voter Fraud
President Donald Trump doesn’t need evidence to make claims, and he also doesn’t need evidence to demand “a major investigation” into voter fraud. That’s right; Trump is going to investigate the claims that only he’s made since losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. “I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD,…
