Well, today’s the day. The redacted version of the Mueller Report is now publicly available on the Department of Justice’s website (with the seemingly innocuous URL justice.gov/storage/report.pdf). Today started with Attorney General Bill Barr’s press conference about the report that the press had not yet been able to read. It was little more than a campaign […] More
Trump is known for his rambling, nonsensical diatribes peppered with phrases such as “the best” or believe me”, and even the occasional “bigly.” At this point of his presidency, I’m not sure how he continues to turn the crazy past 11, but somehow he manages to do it. Of course, this occurred on Fox News, […] More
I’m sure Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and his friend thinks he was making a really good, solid point today on the floor of the U.S. Senate, but he was not. To make matters worse, Lee compounded his scientific illiteracy with some good old fashioned dad jokes in the form of printed stills from cartoons and […] More
In a nondescript building in St. Petersburg, a very Russian operation was being acted out. It looked like any other concrete, urban building. Except it had dark, heavy curtains and video surveillance. Badass Russian journalist Lyudmila Savchuk, a 33 year old mother of two, infiltrated this shady building and reported on what she learned. Show […] More
In an age when the president has no problem inserting hyper-partisan rhetoric in a veto signing statement of an ultimately bipartisan rejection of one of his emergency declaration, why not examine what happened in this country that would make it possible for the party of Abraham Lincoln to become the party of Confederate monument defending […] More
Down in Georgia, House Bill 481 passed the lower chamber of the state’s legislature by a 93-73 vote tally. If HB 481 clears the state senate, which it is expected to, it could wind up on the governor’s desk and once signed into law, no woman in the state could seek an abortion after a […] More
There were a lot of explosive, emotional moments in today’s House Oversight Committee hearing. Everyone kind of was expecting the fireworks because Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime personal attorney and self-described “fixer,” was giving his first public testimony — under oath, no less — since taking a plea deal from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. […] More
Ivanka Trump has set social media on absolute fire today. Why someone with enormous alleged wealth, who literally every sentient creature can easily identify as a direct and perpetual beneficiary of nepotism and favoritism, would deign to pontificate about whether working class people “want to be given something” — like a job with a wage […] More
In American politics, there are few organizations that can unite both the left and the right quite like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA. The right already is skeptical of most any conservationist groups — and yes, I know how bitterly and hilariously ironic it is for “conservatives” to be skeptical of […] More
I knew that the right was terrified of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), but the religious sect of that particular political cult takes it to a whole new, frighteningly hilarious level. RightWingWatch recently reported that Dave Kubal, the leader of a group known as Intercessors for America, did a prayer live on Facebook and implored his social media congregation […] More
The majority of what I write is satirical fiction. You would think that the headline “College is Bad for America, Say Majority of Republicans,” would be one of those satirical headlines. After all, how can college be bad for America? Even if you don’t like a particular subject, or a particular professor, isn’t it a […] More
If you’re anything like me, you watched Trump’s State of the Union speech and afterwards thought “well, those were certainly all words.” But nothing that he said tonight came as a surprise to anyone. It’s more of the same senseless drivel that comes from Trump and his administration. Look, we knew this was going to be […] More
