All the First Ladies before Melania were trans, according to a dude who’s been retweeted nine times by Donald Trump

By David Futrelle Most of the people I follow on Twitter are, as far as I can tell, lovely people. But in the interest of balance (and because I’m always in search of material for this blog) I also follow a number of truly terrible tweeters. Which means that as I scroll my way through…

There are, for real, Nazi Flat Earthers, and they need to fall off the edge of the world

There’s a civil war brewing in the midst of the once-happy alt-right.
