Reality star and former Olympian, Caitlyn Jenner, has recently revealed the political considerations that she has been undertaking. She has spoken about politics often. As a well known Republican, she claims she would rather have a conservative government and convince them to be more liberal socially, than vote for liberal policies. Speaking on the radio with John…
The term “motivated ignorance” has now reared to the forefront in a new study showing that Republicans will not read a view that is in opposition to theirs. The kicker? Many were even offered the chance to win free money to do so. The study comes from The Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and its…
In a political climate that has not simply become eye-bulging, but volatile, there is absolutely no shortage of people expressing their love, and hatred, for the current United States President. Beginning with the first official announcement that President Donald Trump would be seeking election all the way to this beautiful Memorial Day holiday, people from…
While President Trump was delivering a commencement address to US Coast Guard Academy graduates in Connecticut, a roundtable about human trafficking was held at the White House.

The White House pool report…
President Donald Trump achieved the impossible in November, celebrities from Oprah to Caitlyn Jenner, are now seeing the possibility of moving into the White House as a real possibility. The latest star to throw his hat in the ring is in none other than former wrestler and actor The Rock. That is right movie star Dwayne…
Caitlyn Jenner has achieved a lot in one lifetime, Olympic success, a multitude of children, a reality TV show, and now it seems she is considering running for office.

Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success is Ivanka Trump’s newest attempt at empowering women through the art of not really empowering women. Her book, which is fraught with useless and shallow information, is meant for the working woman, but is really a bird’s eye view of the working woman from a penthouse in the…
“Will you die because of AHCA? Let them know.” That is the opening banner for the website MailMeToTheGOP.com, a website that will ship your ashes to any GOP member of Congress of your choice if you die because of health issues that could have been prevented had Obamacare not been repealed. Literally. The website states…
Before we get to the infamous babbling of one President Donald Trump, let’s define what a government shutdown is and what it does very quickly. A government shutdown is a process whereby the Executive Branch of the U.S. government enters when legislation cannot be passed to fund government agencies and operations. Why do these shutdowns…
During his campaign President Business repeatedly promised to build a wall, call out China for currency manipulation and “get tough on trade.” Here we are post 100 days and China is, miraculously, no longer a currency manipulator according to Trump, so he claims he no longer needs to do anything. The famed border wall is crawling…
Alright, everyone. The border wall has officially become a thing. Why? Because the Trump administration has already approached over 400 bidding contractors and provided them with an outline of what the border wall design has to include and has asked them to submit their beginning designs. Among the other blustering and asinine requirements, it has…
Last week, we all became Dan Rather when he posted his official and public statement of President Donald Trump’s actions: Rather quoted Trump himself in the statement that boasted of how a World War could begin simply based on Trump’s ignorant lies: “‘We are sending an armada, very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful, far…

Lee, a professor of psychiatry at Yale and a founding member of a group called Duty To Warn, the meeting was called to discuss the “Goldwater Rule” which was instigated by the professional psychiatric organizations in…
Democracy is supposed to be serious business. Years after the reforms of the Athenian politician Solon, a revolutionary and democratic constitution was ushered in for the Greek citizens of that particular city-state. However, the Greek democracies of the ancient world privileged duties more than rights, and unlike the liberal democracies of today, the census of the…
Is Donald Trump frighteningly delusional, pathologically dishonest, or some combination of the two? We’ll leave the official diagnosis to the professionals, but what’s indisputable is that Trump is allergic to facts of all but the most “alternative” variety. Trump led the “birther” movement against former president Barack Obama, and has been disseminating alternative facts faster…
It looks as if retailers are continuing to dump Donald Trump-related products from their shelves: Ivanka Trump has experienced yet another blow to her retail “empire” by being pulled from Bed Bath & Beyond. Back in February, Nordstrom dropped Ivanka Trump’s brand from its stores. The official reason was “poor performance” of merchandise, but many…
Let’s face it, it’s hard to ignore the massive uptick in lockdowns the White House has faced since the beginning of the year. And while the White House has had its share of lockdowns in the past, this comes as no shock to many who feared that a Donald Trump presidency would tailspin the country into…
Keeping true to slimy form, Republicans are now stripping your right to privacy while you are on the Internet. While the news media is doing all they can to keep up with the massive amount of treasonous and barbaric actions of the Trump Administration, Republicans have been quietly dismantling every possible law that protects the…

Owing to a multiplicity of factors, governments across the world are being shaken up by populist, anti-establishment movements. On the left, men like Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsirpas have discarded the “Third Way” model of the 1990s, which sought to synthesize a pro-capitalist approach in…
In the most recent issue of Us Weekly the magazine claims to have an anonymous source close to the Trump family that is painting a very real picture of just how broken Melania Trump and President Trump’s relationship really is. Though the source, claimed to be verified by Us Weekly, refuses to be named, the…
To add to the long list of designers that are refusing to dress Melania and Ivanka, Zac Posen, famous designer that formally dressed Michelle Obama, Kim Kardashian, and a host of other stars, has decided he wants to keep his image out of politics…by standing against politics. It seems to have come to the point…
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is an accomplished man. The Republican lawmaker is best known for issuing a cease-and-desist letter to and generally blowing off constituents, calling the idea of man-made climate change “lunacy,” and fervently defending oil exploration totally unrelated to his hundreds of thousands of dollars in BP and Exxon stock. Cards Against Humanity co-creator Max Temkin has…
President Trump delivered his first address to Congress on Tuesday, and it was a speech packed full of far right cliches and alternative facts. He misled the country with phrases such as “one of the largest increases in National Defense spending in US history.” There have been ten increases since 1977 that have been greater…
Now that Milo Yiannopoulos has resigned from Breitbart, people everywhere who are sick of his petulant blathering are wondering if the newly-unemployed British national could be deported. Yiannopolous is currently residing in the U.S. under an O-1 visa. Here’s the qualification for this temporary worker visa that’s issued to fewer than 14,000 people a year: “Individuals who possess…
We have found the long-lost transcript of Donald Trump’s interview for the position of President of the United States: Interviewer: So, Mr Trump, Why don’t you tell me a bit about yourself? Trump: Well, I’m the son of a really rich guy, and I’m very rich. I’m one of the richest people around; ask anyone. I…
Artist Busta Rhymes and musical group A Tribe Called Quest performed a relatively new song at the Grammy awards and it was a direct slap at President Trump. Most of the awards show seemed to take a quieter approach towards the current political climate than most have recently, that is until A Tribe Called Quest…
Twitter may be blocked in China, but that hasn’t stopped it from being hugely popular. And in the face of a President Trump who loves to talk smack about China, websites that let users generate fake @realDonaldTrump tweets have become a national sensation. One such site was created by Beijing-based startup Jike. Within four days of…
American odds of… Tripping While Texting: 1 in 10 According to The Ohio State University, more than 1,500 pedestrians were treated for texting related injuries in 2010; and that was before Pokemon Go started making people neglect their kids, fall off cliffs, and crash into cop cars. Choking To Death: 1 in 3,408 In 2016,…
Battle lines have been drawn. Already, activists, protesters, and free-thinking humanitarians across the world have vocalized their intention to RESIST the ill-founded and dangerous policies of President Dorrance Trump and the billionaires who bought his election. While it is undoubtedly important to defend against the threats presented by our newfound government, it is just as…
Former president Barack Obama has a job offer waiting for him when he gets back from vacation. While he’s qualified to do just about anything, it’s doubtful there’s someone else with the same skills that are required on this Craigslist ad. Cards Against Humanity is known for its snarky sense of humor. It’s a game that…
Women across the country are gearing up for today’s Women’s March on Washington, and Twitter is blowing up with inspiring displays of female solidarity. This pro-women’s rights march is fighting to reaffirm women’s rights as human rights in the face of a new administration, and cities across the country — and world — have taken notice.…
Wednesday, Führer-elect Donald Trump sought the sanctity of twitter to announce his enthusiasm for Inauguration Day’s pending promise to end his presidential pubescence. Before his under-endowed finger stub could practice his “NUKE” launching technique on the, likewise dubious, “TWEET” button, he was visited by his dear friend and mentor, the ghost of Joseph Goebbels. The ghost…
Many of President-elect Trump’s cabinet picks have strained our national sense of logic. The neurosurgeon who was chosen to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development comes to mind. But no choice is more mind boggling than Betsy DeVos, whose only qualification for the job of Secretary of Education is the money she’s donated to lots of Republican…
As January 20th ebbs nearer and the countdown to the official beginning of the most dreaded four years in history draws closer, the entering Trump administration has announced that its appointment for Head Gamemaker will not be made public until Mr.”I would date her, if she wasn’t my daughter” makes his inaugural address. President-elect Trump’s pick…
As President Obama’s lame duck period draws to a close and President-elect Trump prepares to take office, Capitol Ministers have streamlined the selection of a host city for Inauguration Day’s Hunger Games. The committee has accepted the invitations of ten cities wishing to take part in the candidature process. 1) Atlanta, Georgia The cream…
Congratulations! You’ve successfully made it through the first half of 2017’s first week. As Americans nationwide return to work and semi-sobriety, many of our New Years Resolutions have already succumbed to the stages of bargaining and acceptance as we realize that 2016 wasn’t just a bad dream, that our old notion of “Same Shit, Different…
