Black Unemployment Hits Historic Low. Should Trump Get Credit or Are We Getting Played?
One thing that happens in a new relationship is that you start getting confused about who gets credit for what. Was I this good a salsa dancer with my ex? He (or she) totally cries during This Is Us, just like I do! Did I always like shrimp and grits, or does new bae just…

How Do We Know That ‘Chicken Don’ and Donald Trump Aren’t the Same Person?
On Wednesday, a 30-foot inflatable chicken with a sweet comb-over flew high above the south side of the White House. Pretty soon, #ChickenTrump was trending on Twitter. And while it was glorious, it got me to thinking: How do we know that Chicken Don and President Trump aren’t the same? Both are full of hot…

Kim Jong Un Is Showing Us That Trump Is the Real Crazy Man
With each advancement that North Korea makes in its nuclear-weapons program, Donald Trump responds with predictable petulance. He warned that North Korea would face “fire and fury like the world has never seen” after learning it had produced a miniaturized warhead that can fit inside its missiles. In the past, U.S. leaders usually exercised calm…

Mike Pence Would Not Be Worse Than Trump Because No One, God Included, Gives a Shit About Mike Pence
It’s been a relatively slow week for rapey vat of curdled Cheez Whiz Donald Trump and his cadre of paint thinner-dipped sociopathic marionettes. Perhaps it’s because he’s currently on his 27th vacation of the last three months, and there’s no dry snitches left to fire for outing cocksucking contortionists to the New Yorker. But don’t…

How Russia Used Racism to Hack White Voters
It’s easy to blame Russian President Vladimir Putin and the various intelligence agencies he oversees for the political discord hemorrhaging Washington, D.C., and the rest of the country. The intelligence community determined (pdf) in January that the Kremlin deployed a bevy of tactics to sway public opinion in favor of Donald Trump. Recent reports found…

Trump Retweets Unnamed-Source Report on North Korea Condemned by UN Ambassador Because He Doesn’t Know What the Hell He’s Doing
Because Donald Trump has no clue what the hell he’s doing in office, and because no one in his staff can keep his dumb ass off Twitter, he tweeted out an anonymously sourced story (because, you know, Fox News), and within hours, United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley condemned the same story on Fox News. Trump…

From Ben Carson to Donald Trump: Politicians and Their Imaginary Friends
Editor’s note: We revised this post after Sen. Cory Booker’s representatives contacted us to say that T-Bone is a real person. Donald Trump has an imaginary friend named Jim. Ben Carson not only invented a fake friend, but then he stabbed his fake friend in an argument. In this new millennium, it’s become the way…

Trump’s Bashing on Twitter Again, but Here’s What He Should Be Tweeting About
President Donald Trump might be the worst person in the world, but that doesn’t mean he has to act like it. At some point, it would be nice if the president of the United States actually acted presidential, and if that means he must use Twitter, then maybe he could spend 20 seconds (assuming no…

Hey, Jeff Sessions: Remember When 6,000 White Americans Went on Strike to Keep 8 Black People From Getting Promoted?
Over the past month, the Trump administration has been rolling out “theme weeks” as if America were one big dysfunctional high school and the homecoming game will fix everything. In July there was Made in America Week to highlight business; American Heroes Week highlighted the military; and to kick off August, the administration launched “White…
