Kimmel Imagines Donald Trump’s Prez Run as April Fools’ Joke
We regret to inform you that Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy is not, in fact, an elaborate hoax.

Here’s everything you need to know. What does…
Donald Trump’s Abortion ‘Punishment’ Comments Make Perfect Sense

‘Stone Cold’ Still Can’t Believe Donald Trump Took a Stunner
Nine years ago, Vince McMahon and Donald Trump sorta squared off in the “Battle of the Billionaires” at WrestleMania 23, a match that featured their handpicked representatives – Bobby Lashley and Umaga, respectively – fighting to protect the most famous manes in the business.

What It’s Like to Use a Public Bathroom While Trans
For most people, going to a public restroom is no big deal. Aside from long lines at the women’s restroom or a dirty stall in the men’s, they never have to think about it. For trans people, however, using a public bathroom is complicated, and often dangerous. A 2013 survey from…
Gene Simmons on Donald Trump: ‘He’s Good for the Political System’

Coyote Bros: How Hard-Partying College Kids Became Illegal Alien Smugglers

Lewandowski Saga Gives Terrifying Glimpse Into Trump White House
For a man who built his celebrity on the catchphrase “You’re fired,” Donald Trump, it turns out, is terrible at firing people.

Why Conservatives Are Terrified of Single Women
The title of Rebecca Traister’s new book, All the Single Ladies, is, she admits, a bit of a misnomer: It’s not just about single women, but rather “what happens when one model” — young, heterosexual marriage — “is no longer the only model” determining women’s lives, as had been the case…
Tens of Thousands Sign Petition to Allow Open Carry of Guns at RNC
Last week, one “Len Davies” of Spokane, Washington, created a Change.org petition calling for Quicken Loans Arena to allow folks to open-carry guns at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer.
