Do you like jokes? Funny ones? Knee-slapping, tell-your-friends-the-very-next-time-you-see-them funny? Jokes so goddamned hilarious that Dane Cook would murder his entire family for the chance to finally get a joke his audience would laugh at? Well, get a load of this doozy shared by our president last Friday while speaking to a bunch of cops in New York: “When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon. You just see them thrown in — rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice.’ Like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head. I said, ‘You can takeRead More →

Yeah, I know, everyone’s quoting Queen every time they reference Anthony Scaramucci, but don’t hate the game, hate the player who makes himself such an easy fucking target. Little Douche the Mooch is trying to out-Stephen-Miller Stephen Miller. Remember Stephen Miller, the thin-featured 80s action-movie-villain who swore that the president’s powers would not be questioned? Well, Little Douche the Mooch won’t play second fiddle to such a weaselly looking twerp, and is quickly establishing himself as the second most famous character from American Psycho to come to life in the trump administration (those reflective aviator sunglasses aren’t going to date-rape themselves, you know). So howRead More →

This was posted as a comment elsewhere, but I intended it to be used here, as well.   Some years ago, McCain billed himself as a maverick, and the media fell for it, because no one wants to criticize a man who was a POW for five years. It would just seem untoward, so McCain remade himself into a sort of Anthony Fremont who knew that people were afraid of holding him accountable for his actions. He coasted on this for years. But something else was happening. McCain’s captivity demons resided right beneath the surface, and any time anyone mistreated him poorly enough, he recoiledRead More →

I decided to take a month off from this. Every now and then, one must give ones’ self a break from the bullshit, and since this isn’t my actual paying job, I felt no urgency to keep up with it at a daily pace. Trying to keep up with trump’s daily slights against humanity can be demoralizing. But, a month has passed. Back to it. I don’t think the president has ever sent mixed messages on how he feels about all of the improper actions that the Clintons took and certainly were involved in over the course of the last several years, and I thinkRead More →
