God Help America!
The Republican Party is betting that America is more homophobic, racist and sexist so their path to attaining and retaining power is to play to our nation’s basest instincts. “The American political system is so slanted toward the overrepresentation of the Republican Party’s core supporters, rural and exurban conservatives, that even when their views and…

Donald Trump is Such a Kidder!
These people. They just can’t take a joke. First, he sarcastically ran for the office of the President of the United States even though he is not qualified to run the country and he has no ideas how to and is not even interested in running the country. Ruin the country, maybe, but run it, no.…
