Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is catching a lot of heat for being chummy and laughing it up with whom many consider the perpetrator of massive atrocities on a worldwide level that will take decades to recover from. No, not the Jonas Brothers. I'm talking about President George W. Bush. After a photo emerged of... Continue Reading →
Chinese Dribbling
CCTV Sports, a division of China's state broadcaster, said in a statement, "We believe any remarks that challenge national sovereignty and social stability do not belong to the category of free speech."

Impeachment Civil War
Donald Trump is losing his mind. He's screaming at reporters, embarrassing us in front of visiting foreign leaders, lying, spreading conspiracy theories, encouraging his supporters to engage in violence, and promising not to accomplish anything with Congress (like you were totally expecting action on gun violence).
