Ugh

In particular Bill Gates pontifications under his label of the “Good Billionaire”. Yes he does keep to the science in a way, but  please stop with the hypocrisy. If there is a credibility gap in listening to Gates on this subject, it comes from the suspicion that he lives in...

Kelly J. Baker is a writer and scholar of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s. She sees frightening similarities between that culture and the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Interviews like this are one of the reasons that I still subscribe to the NYT, some snippets [bolding...

All I’ll say is I’m glad Katie Porter is on our side. She’s fierce and unafraid, and her latest Twitter thread amply demonstrates that: x You may have heard that Democrats and Republicans have agreed upon spending $900 billion to fund another round of small business loans, support hospitals and...

So yesterday, Geraldo Rivera, whose career has run the gamut from dreadfully embarrassing to off-the-charts mortifying, had a great idea. Let’s name the vaccine after Donald Trump, because, well … we want the baby-man to stop pouting. The Hill: Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera on Friday floated the idea of naming the COVID-19 vaccine “the Trump,” saying...

Did you have this one on your road to the apocalypse bingo card? A 17-year-old kid brings an AR-15 to a protest, kills two people and wounds another, and eventually gets sprung from jail with the help of the My Pillow guy and the kid from Silver Spoons. Of course...

Rick Santorum on CNN [paraphrasing mine] “If the Democrats want to bring the country together they should let the Republican senatorial candidates in Georgia win, if not there will be trouble.” Yep, you got it, we just forget the whole 8 years of Obama where all they did was obstruct,...

Imagine this guy wearing a dirty Mountain Dew T-shirt and cutoff jean shorts saying shit like this. In the bathroom stall of an Arby’s. Doesn’t that make a lot more sense than the actual president of the United States saying it? x Trump: The great Abraham Lincoln, a man that...

You tell me, but it sure sounds like untoward influence was used prior to Jerry Falwell Jr.’s key 2016 endorsement of Donald Trump, a man whose peccadilloes and insensate evil would have given St. Francis of Assisi stigmata of the eyeballs. Reuters: As Reuters reported last year, the Falwells enlisted Cohen...

Honestly, I’d be surprised if Donald Trump didn’t want a North Korea-style military parade at the heart of his inauguration — complete with goose-stepping, FFS! — but that doesn’t mean it’s not jarring to see it in print. I mean, what’s next? Will he announce a cabinet-level Department of Eugenics?  Ugh....

Just a short note on Trump’s latest threat to veto a defense spending bill because it calls for renaming certain military bases named after Confederate Civil War generals.  The White House put out a statement defending the threat: “President Trump has been clear in his opposition to politically motivated attempts...

If you like Cards Against Humanity or Apples to Apples and think Donald Trump is an absurd, unnaturally hued doofus, these Wisconsin guys just might have the game for you. Described by its creators, Drew Mueske and Adrian Mulloy, as “a mature party game inspired by Donald’s ‘best words,’ his...

I went to Catholic school and often ate Lucky Charms on Saturdays. Not every Saturday. You know, when I’d get a wild hair. I wasn’t gay or anything. I just liked Lucky Charms. Something about the festive assortment of colors and the convivial cardboard texture. Not that there’s anything wrong...

So it’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ last day, and it’s bittersweet — like bidding adieu to a fungal toenail you’ve had for two years. In a way you miss it because it’s been there so long. But, really, in no way do you miss it. Not even a little. I’d hoped...

Had I known Donald Trump was sitting down for an interview with Piers Morgan I would have been frightened out of my mind knowing they might spontaneously collapse into a douchebag singularity and swallow up the solar system and, eventually, the outer spiral arm of our galaxy. But that didn’t happen. Instead we...

Trump scandals are like Russian nesting dolls — though instead of exquisitely painted balsa wood figurines, they’re basically sharting Furbies all the way down.
