Trump Still Hates Jeff Sessions for Being Jeff Sessions
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has always been trash. He openly hates arguably the most peaceful herb of all herbs, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow openly despised his ass. That’s right: Coretta Scott King took time out of her busy day to pen a letter to block the 1986 nomination of Jeff Sessions for federal…

It Is Illegal for Donald Trump to Block You on Twitter Just Because He Is a Big Baby Who Can’t Take Criticism

Judge of Characters: We’re Not Laughing at Slavery, We’re Laughing at Kanye
Kanye West’s name has been on most of our lips throughout the last week as he slides from digital rant to in-person rant and back again.

Judge of Characters: Kanye West Doesn’t Care About Racism
This has been a very hard week to swallow, namely because of rapper and former black man Kanye West. Kim Kardashian’s doting husband has been known for his sporadic rants, but this time (like many times before) he took to Twitter to share whatever thoughts were running through his brain. Clearly, the sunken place has…

Exactly 1 Good, Weird Thing Happened on Twitter This Week, and Lakeith Stanfield Was Involved
If you were on Twitter this week, then surely you know that it was a messy tornado hellscape of “Make America Great Again” hats and free thought and Bill Cosby apologists—all of this on top of the nonreading Ye-holes that tend to dominate the site on a daily basis. (If this doesn’t apply to you,…
