The New York Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday that former The Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos can proceed with her defamation lawsuit against our pustulant ex-POTUS. It’s not a comeuppance yet, but sometimes justice comes in dribs and drabs—like makeup slowly cascading off an ex-pr*sident’s blotchy horror-show of a face, transforming...

Is Lindsey Graham for real? No, that’s a serious question. Because he looks like a Rankin-Bass Claymation character to me. Lindsey, the misfit Christmas elf who never liked to make toys and forgot to show up for elf practice because his real dream was to loofah Donald Trump’s hide so he’d stop looking...
Donald Trump’s lawyers argued for years that he couldn’t be sued because he was kinda-sorta president or something. Apparently you don’t actually have to do the job to retain the title. It’s like if you were the curly fry guy at Arby’s and all you did all day was eat the customers’...

Ruh-roh. I’m no lawyer — partly because I enjoy writing books and blogs more than studying the law, and partly because, well, weed — but I can read and comprehend a story about Trump’s jowly buttocks landing squarely in the fondue pot. Looks like one of the unintended consequences of the...
When it comes to Biden accuser Tara Reade, I’ve been reluctant to jump to any conclusions. Women deserve to be heard and their stories deserve to be taken seriously. But with respect to Reade’s accusations in particular, a lot of questions have been raised that so far don’t appear to...
Mike Pence sold his soul long ago, and now, at the very least, Karen Pence has pawned hers. Now, before you read this tweet, recall that Trump used to brag about going backstage at the Miss USA Pageant to gawk at the young women. That he once passed a young,...
Well, you thought there were more grotesque stories out there. And, hey, you were right! Esquire has published an excerpt from the upcoming book All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator by Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy. The book relied on 100 interviews to paint an elaborate picture of...
This is why we shouldn’t have billionaires. They have waaaaayyyy too much time on their hands and waaaaayyyy too many opportunities to act creepier than shit. The New York Times: Jeffrey E. Epstein, the wealthy financier who is accused of sex trafficking, had an unusual dream: He hoped to seed the...
Thank God Jeffy Epstein wasn’t selling loose cigarettes or stealing Tic Tacs in a three-strikes state. It was just human trafficking. Pfff. According to a Friday story in the Washington Post, Epstein was given kid-glove treatment while serving his sentence for sex crimes with a minor. “For the time being, I am authorizing...
Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. Two gross peas in a pod. NBC has found some old footage of the actual president of the United States and his longtime pedophile friend appearing to rate young women at a party they both attended at Mar-a-Lago. They’re shown smiling and laughing together because,...
Donald Trump now claims he “wasn’t a fan” of gross skeev-monster Jeffrey Epstein, but history tells a different story. Courtesy of The New York Times, here’s another anecdote that will leave you regretting that you no longer have eyes to gouge out after reading the last Trump-Epstein story. The year was...
Writing yesterday about the apparent conspiracy of silence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s well-known and sordid proclivities, New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg noted that many powerful men protected Epstein over the years, for reasons known only to them. Goldberg mentioned journalist Vicky Ward, who had profiled Epstein in 2003 for Vanity...
Jeffrey Epstein is getting his comeuppance for alleged sex trafficking of underage girls. Is it rude to point out that Epstein is an old Trump pal, of whom Trump once said this? “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is...
Two corroborating witnesses, both prominent members of New York’s media establishment, recently came forward in a NY Times podcast to say that E. Jean Carroll called them after Donald Trump allegedly sexually assaulted her in the Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s. One of them told her to file...
I may never stop vomiting. The Hill: President Trump said Monday that writer E. Jean Carroll was “totally lying” when she recently accused him of raping her during an encounter in a New York department store in the mid-1990s. In an exclusive interview with The Hill, the president vehemently denied the...
The G(r)OP(ers) are freaked out about the prospect of Roy Moore 2.0. Apparently, Alabama’s most venerable pedophile is eager to challenge Doug Jones for the U.S. Senate seat he fumbled away with extreme skeevishness in 2017. Republicans aren’t happy, because they categorically oppose serial sexual predators who don’t currently live in the...
Hey, look! Donald Trump lied! First of all, here was the pr*sident’s response to the accusations of E. Jean Carroll, who claimed in a book excerpt published in New York magazine that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-’90s: Regarding the “story” by E. Jean...
I don’t believe in magic, miracles, curses, hexes, horoscopes, Ouija boards, the power of prayer, or much of anything supernatural. I believe in technology and phenomena solidly backed by the scientific method, like vaccines, Xenu the evil Galactic Confederacy overlord, and the fact that I can’t wear my Green Bay Packers socks on...
Why hasn’t this video gone viral yet? As the singer/songwriter, Lynzy Lab, can attest, women have been dealing with a frightening and dangerous world for a long, long time. Long before Brett Kavanaugh shed a tear over nearly being denied a Supreme Court seat for (allegedly) trying to rape a girl. You’d...
What was that old Goebbels quote? Something like “Fuck you, Donald Trump, you rancid fuck-faced smegma golem”? Remember when Christine Blasey Ford said she was 100 percent certain that Brett Kavanaugh had tried to rape her? Well, you can throw that out now because the most dishonest person on the planet says...
It’s official. The Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Saturday, ending an ugly, painful, weekslong Senate fight over whether women’s sexual misconduct allegations against him were credible and mattered. Kavanaugh was narrowly confirmed, 50-48. Every Republican but one, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), voted for him. Every Democrat...
This op-ed from veteran journalist Connie Chung is a must-read. Shocking, but in light of everything that’s happening right now, not really that surprising. It may bring you to tears, it may make you shake with rage. I can almost guarantee it will elicit some kind of strong emotion. Republicans have no...
It’s difficult to see unless you click on the tweet below, but the entry the little yellow hand is pointing to says “Killer Qs and 151.” It’s from the Georgetown Prep yearbook entry of Brett Kavanaugh’s friend and classmate Donald Urgo. Seems pretty cryptic, but there’s a possible (and surprisingly...
For the record, I’m very afraid for Jr.’s sons and daughters, but it has nothing to do with sexual assault. From The Daily Mail: Donald Trump Jr. says that in an age when lives can be ruined on both sides of he-said, she-said sexual misconduct claims, he fears more for...
This is how I know the rapture isn’t real. If it were, God would have beamed Pat Robertson’s shrunken Gollum head into a Piper Cub 20 years ago. Because he says shit like this. From Right Wing Watch: “The Supreme Court of the United States is the power center of...
As I type this blog post, Prof. Christine Blasey Ford is currently testifying before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in regards to Brett Kavanaugh’s act of sexual assault against Ford. However, if you live in the same local television market that I do, the Champaign-Springfield, Illinois local TV market that...
It’s a little like Jeffrey Dahmer giving your new restaurant a five-star Yelp review, but still. At least Kavanaugh is rounding up supporters. From The Washington Post: Moore first came to the nominee’s defense Monday — a day after a California professor told The Washington Post that Kavanaugh had tried to rape...
It’s worse than you’ve heard. CNN July 30 2018 CONFIDENTIAL Senator Dianne Feinstein Dear Senator Feinstein; I am writing with information relevant in evaluating the current nominee to the Supreme Court. As a constituent, I expect that you will maintain this as confidential until we have further opportunity to speak....
Somehow, Republicans managed to produce a letter supporting Brett Kavanaugh almost instantly after attempted rape allegations against the Supreme Court nominee surfaced. Gee, it’s almost as if they’d heard this accusation before … and anticipated the reaction. Anyway, the letter proved that there are at least 65 women on the planet whom...
MSNBC just reported (on Lawrence O’Donnell) that somebody familiar with the Kavanaugh letter said it might contain allegations of sexual assault and it might not. Ninety percent of the time (rough estimate) that means the letter contains allegations of sexual assault. I am beginning to think that the American public...
