In 2014, Pastor Jamie Coots of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus' Name church in Middlesborough, Kentucky died from a rattlesnake bite. Was it a camping accident? Did something go terribly wrong at the zoo? No, he was handling those snakes on purpose, in…

Once upon a time, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at least claimed to focus their efforts entirely on immigrants involved in criminal activity. Those days are long gone, and now they're going after anyone, including law-abiding people who are just…

I'd mentioned this week that there's definitely probably a tape out there of Donald Trump referring to a black person as a "nigger," because Trump is a racist and that's sort of what they do. Sarah Huckabee Sanders won't even affirmatively deny such a tape…

Conservatives want to be oppressed. Or, rather, for everyone to think they are being oppressed and to then give them what they see as the impunity and moral upper hand that comes along with being an oppressed group of people. They want it very, very badly and…

OH HI WONKERS NO TIME TO TALK STILL BOSS OF YOU REBECCA BACK SOMETIME NEXT WEEK SO STILL BOSS OF YOU BUT NOT RIGHT NOW GOTTA GO TO A WEDDING IN NASHVILLE AND SHOULD HAVE LEFT TWO HOURS AGO TOP TEN COUNTDOWN LOOK AT DOG PICTURE ABOVE HEY DO YOU LIKE RUN-ON…

It is Friday, Yr Wonkette's back end (that's website talk) has been cranky all afternoon like a digital babby that needs a nap, and we are all stuck in the stupidest timeline. The one way we know it's not actually hell is that there are still adorable doggies…

May we tell you a story you might already know but forgot because ur dumb? Thank you, because we think it's pertinent all the time in the Trump era, but we think it's real darn pertinent this week, as Donald Trump lashes out at John Brennan and other retired…

Rachel Maddow brought us a newly relevant bit of tape from the Before Times last night, of a speech Brett Kavanaugh gave when he was just a plain old federal judge on the DC Court of Appeals. He was remembering his icon, Antonin Scalia, and what a great guy he…

Aretha Franklin's death Thursday had such an impact on us that even FOX News took time out of its jam-packed schedule of…

As Trump's White House dealt with the fallout of more self-inflicted scandals, CNBC…

The ACLU is seriously pissed at a Georgia county that's planning to shut down most of its polling places before this fall's elections. Why, yes, the residents are primarily black and poor, and the Randolph County Board of Elections is mostly Republican. And…

Losing your mind waiting for the Manfort jury to come back?…

Donald Trump just gave one of his awkward trademark press availabilities where he perches his beef body on the White House lawn (awkwardly) and yells the words on his Twitter feed at reporters. Anybody interested in a post about that, or should we just do an…

Mike Godwin himself has…

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar took to the Washington Post's op-ed page Thursday to shill for Donald Trump's exciting new junk insurance plans that won't cover much of anything, but will have very low premiums. It's a load of bullshit, of…

Golly gee, it seems like Donald Trump might have just stepped on his own dick again, in revoking the clearance of former CIA director John Brennan, who was integral to planning and executing the mission that killed Osama bin Laden, who, if the president has…

Morning Wonketariat! Here's some of the things we may be talking about today.…

Former Colorado state legislator and internet-elevangelist Gordon Klingenschmitt (his name is my name too) knows why we hate Trump. Is it because he is a terrible person and a terrible President? Is it because he says horrible things all of the time? Is it…

Trump supporters -- you can't take them anywhere. One idiot Trump supporter in Sacramento, California proved that at a recent Social Distortion show, where he thought it might be a good idea to be a dick to lead singer Mike Ness, the most perfect human man in…

You've probably heard about the great big project by the Boston Globe to get a whole bunch of newspapers to run editorials about Donald Trump's attacks on the press as the "Enemy of the People" -- in addition to the Globe's own editorial, several hundred…

Some folks just can't be happy. Take Jack Phillips. He runs the boldly titled Masterpiece Cakeshop (hey, I'll be the judge of that ... if he'd actually bake a cake for me) in suburban Denver. A gay couple wanted him to mix flour and eggs together for them in…

OH, NOES! Watch your back, Mueller! TV personality Rudy Giuliani is threatening to open up a can of whoopass if the Russia investigation doesn't close up shop in the next three weeks. And this time he really means it, Mister!…

SHOCKING NEWS THAT IS SHOCKING! Donald Trump is obstructing justice right in front of our faces again! No, we don't mean on Twitter, but special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into his tweets. We mean more like what happened last year when he sat down with…

Aretha Franklin passed away this morning at the age of 76 of advanced pancreatic cancer -- still far too young -- surrounded by family and friends at her home in Detroit. I don't know that we deserved her, but we were lucky as all hell to have her.…

On Tuesday night the…

Late Wednesday, the internet got lit on FAAAAAAAHR, Y'ALL, because "Kellyanne and George Conway" was trending on Twitter. Were they getting divorced? Did George murder Kellyanne with a thousand tweets? Did the Bowling Green Massacre happen in their house?…

Guys, we're a little worried about convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza. His latest dumb movie, Death of a Nation, which unironically claims Donald Trump is a second Lincoln while Democrats are literally segregationists and Nazis, is making far less money than his…

Obstruction of Justice is a many-splendored thing! Sometimes it takes the form of a demented old lunatic dump-tweeting orders to his attorney general to shut down a lawful criminal investigation. Sometimes it's an alleged cowfucking congressman leaking…

Morning Wonketariat! Here's some of the things we may be talking about today.…

Jason Kessler is not having a good week. First, no one came to his special white people party in Washington, D.C. There were like, thirty people there, in total -- which is far fewer people than congregated this weekend in almost any place in America that is…
