Meet the Joe Biden Golf Truthers

Dead Man Golfing?

During the 2016 campaign, you may recall, the right-wing disinfo squad was trying its best to convince the electorate that Hillary Clinton was not a well woman — indeed, that she was in such ill-health she could keel over at any moment.

Bronies prepare for “potential blowback” after it’s reported that the FedEx killer was one of their own

John Hinkley Jr. tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in an attempt to impress Jodie Foster. Is is possible that the young man who killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis was trying to impress … a cartoon horse?

Why won’t women DEBAAATE MEEEE? An aspiring Red Piller’s lament
