Hello! Here a beautiful open thread for you to not comment all over, so that you don't not comment all over Dok's book club post. I was gonna drop my Nonnie's recipe for Easter bread in here, but apparently it has to proof overnight and is also for…

Happy Day Before Half-Priced Easter Chocolate Day, Wonkers! Time to wrap up our Wonkette Book Club discussion of Winter War: Hoover, Roosevelt, and the First Clash Over the New Deal, by Erich Rauchway, a historian at UC-Davis. We're increasingly convinced the…

In this increasingly polarized society we live in, it's hard to find any kind of consensus on anything -- but one would think that there would still be a few things here and there that we could all agree upon. One also might assume that one of those things…

This past November, far right dingbat Laura Loomer was finally kicked off of Twitter after tweeting a bunch of crazy ass hateful shit about Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. To put it mildly, she was not happy about it. In fact, she kind of lost her fucking…

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a congenital liar, and her condition is terminal. We appreciate how difficult that probably is for her loved ones, but they should just hold a telethon or something. Sanders's father, Mike Huckabee, chose…

Hello! It's the weekend! Which means I am in charge and also you get to see our TOP TEN stories of the week, which for some reason I am doing this week also! Probably because Evan has been hardcore Muellering all week and needs a BREAK. Which is fair! I, for…

In July of 2016, DNC Voter Expansion Data Director Seth Rich was murdered in what police believe was a robbery gone wrong. Since then, Fox News, Newt Gingrich, Roger Stone, and varied and sundry internet morons have insisted that he was actually murdered on…

Well, goddamn it, a wonderful person we'd never heard of until last night is dead. Lyra McKee was 29, an investigative journalist who specialized in looking at the legacy of "the Troubles" in Northern Ireland. She was murdered by someone shooting at police…

It's been a little more than two decades since a Republican-controlled Congress impeached Bill Clinton for a range of blowjob related felonies, including obstruction of justice. Nothing Clinton did had any impact on national security or the economy. However,…

FINALLY, the part we've all been waiting for, where we find that Robert Mueller DID NOT exonerate Trump on obstruction of justice, that he DID NOT intend for Bill Barr and Rod Rosenstein to exonerate Trump, and he flat up DID give Congress a literal roadmap…

A shocking revelation from the Mueller Report, right after the heavily redacted section about the wetness of rain, is that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a lying sack of lies. The White House press secretary regularly distorts truth like she's making balloons…

Last month, a Republican congressman from Kentucky dared Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to try and sell her Green New Deal to the hard-working coal miners in his district, and wouldn't you know it, she readily accepted! And then the Republican, Andy Barr, started…

HERE WE GO AGAIN. You ready? When we last left off, we were about to dive into the part of the Mueller report about how Donald Trump Jr. is too stupid to be indicted. And we ... kinda agree with Bob Mueller? But we kinda don't? And we think it's real fuckin'…

Morning Wonketariat! Here's some of the things we may be talking about today. In case you've been living under a rock, Robert Mueller (finally) released the long awaited Trump-Russia report yesterday. In two volumes, the 400+ page report details Russian…

Now that most of the Mueller Report has been released, TrumpWorld and its online TrumpSuburbs are declaring victory, never mind the actual contents of the report. Donald Trump and his legal team insisted he'd been totally cleared of everything, because Trump…

Gonna be a long day, y'all, you ready to dive in? We should note at the outset that any of the questions about obstruction of justice are colored by the fact that Trump refused to sit for an interview with Robert Mueller. Guess that's part of why Robert…

April 20 will be the 20th anniversary of the massacre at Columbine High School. Mother Jones yesterday published a report on mass shooters (or would-be shooters) who in one way or another mentioned the Columbine murders as something they wanted to emulate, or…

Weird development this week in the case of Christopher Hasson, that Coast Guard dude who was arrested in February and described as planning a huge act of violence. Despite some very scary stuff in a court document asking he be held without bond, the government…

You might recall that…

Good morning, America! Attorney General Bill Barr is doing a presser at 9:30 AM EDT about the Mueller report, which nobody will be able to see until around noon or after, once Congress gets the redacted report on CDs. Seeing as that is bullshit, there's no…

Morning Wonketariat! Here's some of the things we may be talking about today. Later today William Barr will FINALLY release Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia report, but not before he holds his own press conference to reinforce Trump World's narrative that there…

AIN'T THIS JUST ALWAYS THE WAY?You're a young-ish gay bro with a smokin' hot body, and you've gone to Coachella with your young-ish gay bro friends with smokin-hot bodies (you are WeHo gays, because of course you are). Your shirts are off, you're glistening…

Less than 24 hours after he was confirmed as Interior Secretary on Thursday, David Bernhardt was facing multiple ethics investigations for shaping federal environmental policy to benefit his former clients. And for covering it up, of course. He's no Scott…

Andrew Sullivan is a vocal opponent of Donald Trump, but maybe all he really disapproves of is the president's fondness for Big Macs. Like…

'Twas the night before Mueller and all through the house, everybody was pretty sure whatever "Mueller report" we're getting on Thursday morning is gonna be some bullshit, considering how Bill Barr has been spearheading the most pathetic cover-up we've seen in…

In a dazzling demonstration of failing upwards, Paul Ryan has secured himself a sweet teaching gig at the University of Notre Dame for the 2019-2020 academic year, the university announced Monday. The former speaker of the House and devotee of starving…

The CDC has confirmed 555 cases of measles this year -- 90 in the last week alone -- making this the second largest outbreak since the disease was declared "eliminated" in the United States in 2000. The largest was in 2013, when an outbreak that started at…

Donald Trump isn't happy that Fox News hosted a town hall for Bernie Sanders and let him leave with all his limbs. He whined about it on Twitter for most of Tuesday. First, there was the general question of why Sanders was even on the friendly state media…

Attorney General William Barr would like to remind you that fuxxoring the Mueller report isn't his only duty as AG, even if that does remain his first love. Yesterday, Barr issued an order telling immigration courts that certain classes of people seeking…

If you are a man or a lady of letters, and are also versed in all internet traditions, you are likely aware of the famous satirical online web essay "Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock?" It's a monologue from The Onion, in the voice of a man who…
