Apparently there’s RWNj demand for something that’s like Twitter but monetizes subscription scams and harvests influence among like-minded crazies.  Parler is the RWNJ refuge from Twitter, like it makes much of a difference considering Twitter still allows Trump to tweet. So much work just so you can show reactionary “tongue-in-cheek”...

The disappearing of Elizabeth Warren is, in my opinion, a tragedy and a crime. (Full disclosure: She’s my top candidate and has been for some time now.) But she’s not going to go away without a fight, and everything she does from here on out will be accomplished with her...

Oh, those pencil-necked eggheads who study things and use science and shit instead of their gut instincts. Now they think they know more about weather and where Alabama is than the president.

Unfortunately for Ben Carson, creeping brain death is not a legal defense. Just because you could push him out onto a Walking Dead set with a leg o’ lamb and no formal zombie training and get a perfect performance out of him (even — or especially — if he doesn’t know cameras...

Didn’t Michael Cohen just say Trump thinks his son has the worst judgment in the world? Guess he’s right. So yesterday, Junior retweeted this: x Incredible to see all the hubris drained from Cohen. I've been personally screamed at by Cohen on the phone before and know how much bravado...

It’s hard to imagine what else Donald Trump could do to make himself look guilty. Maybe streak down Pennsylvania Avenue wearing nothing but an authentic Russian Army ushanka cap and an enormous red ball gag, while trailing a leather leash with “Putin’s bitch” meticulously inscribed on it in pink cubic zirconia?  Because, damn,...
