This summer, Black Lives Matter and Antifa weren't the only ones showing up to protests. There were also a lot of rightwing nuts who traveled far and wide to commit violent acts in the hope that escalating things would lead to the race war they have so been…

The results are in, and based on my scientific knowledge of reading Twitter, Americans are mostly just fucking relieved that we may have seen the last Donald Trump appearance in a nationally televised debate. That sounds right to me, so I'm going to mark that…

The Roberts Court loves infringing upon people's voting rights. If this Court has one fully coherent doctrine, it's that voting rights are bad. It's pretty much the one area where the Court has been pretty much entirely consistent.Until now.This week, the…

Donald Trump, a guy whose entire family lives off his name, is trying to gin up a scandal because Hunter Biden monetized his own father's name. That's it, that's the tweet.…

For decades, strippers have been classified not as employees, but as independent contractors. This has worked out splendidly for the owners of strip clubs, but not so much the dancers themselves. However, over the last few years, dancers across the country…

How'd Trump's extra special threat guest Tony Bobulinksi at the debate go? I don't know, it's still yestertoday!…

Am I happy that I'm liveblogging this goddamn shitcrap final Trump Biden debate tonight? No. But I am already full of a lovely rum, and nobody can ask for happiness these fuckforsaken days. Will I be able to hear and understand them as Trump hoots and drools…

Never let it be said that Donald Trump can't snatch a humiliating self-own out of the jaws of already humiliating defeat. Ever since Trump angrily stormed out of his "60 Minutes" interview with Lesley Stahl, he's been taunting Stahl and America, threatening to…

Barack Obama gave a rip-roaring speech in support of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Philadelphia yesterday, and if it had been in a house of any kind, he'd have brought it down. But because we're in the eighth month of a coronavirus pandemic that has never…

If Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court, it is highly likely that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. Heck, it's likely to be overturned even if she's not confirmed. Barrett's nomination mostly just means that it will be a really long time before…

Remember how back in August, Donald Trump's pet postmaster general, big GOP donor Louis DeJoy, promised he wouldn't do any more fuckery to the Postal Service until after the election, because people noticed his "reforms" had drastically slowed down mail…

"Oh shit, here we go," we thought when we saw on Twitter early Thursday evening that the FBI was going to be making a very special statement about "election security," one that required a night-time press conference. In 2016, the James Comey Hillary Clinton…

Yesterday, it was revealed that, in a new documentary called Francesco, Pope Francis voiced support for civil unions and for not being shitty to gay people in general. "Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God," He said.…

The FBI Director Doomsday Clock starts ... now.The Washington Post reports that Trump and his advisors are plotting to "86" Chris Wray after the election for failing to do us a favor though and gin up a bogus investigation into Joe Biden before the election.…

Polls this summer show Church of Latter-Day Saints voters swinging about 15 points to the left this year, because most Mormons prefer their misogyny subtle and understated. (The LDS vote normally splits 80 percent R/20 percent D.) That's not enough to make…

Have you been following the twisting tale of Rudy Giuliani going back to his hotel room with the lady he thought was a young pretty reporter who wanted to see his Little Rudy, but just as it appeared things were about to go down, Borat ran into the room like…

Mitt Romney, the supposed “conscience" of the GOP, confirmed Wednesday that he's already voted for president and that lucky ducky recipient of his vote was not Donald Trump.But if Romney didn't vote for Trump, did he valiantly cross party lines and back Joe…

Excellent news, everybody! Donald Trump is gearing up to rescue American cities from the grip of anarchy, or at least punish four cities with Democratic leadership for not respecting his authoriteh. His administration is poised to make the cities cry Uncle Sam…

Has Trump pulled out of tonight's debate yet? Who cares, you can't make me watch that shit again. Maybe I will make Evan watch it. Haven't decided. Someone should probably be extra nice to me today! Anyway, yeah, presumably liveblog tonight.Obama's blistering…

Rudy Giuliani: How many successes can one man have in a week?Rudy has been caught on tape, not with a Russian spy (this time), but with Borat's "daughter" Tutar, and ... well, thank goodness he didn't masturbate on Zoom or anything, but ... OK, so in the new…
