Evan HurstApril 22, 2021 02:45 PM GOP Rep. Nancy Mace, whose arguments this week were mostly just dumb as hell. The House of Representatives passed a bill this morning to make Washington DC the country's 49th largest state out of 51. (This is important for reasons that will be evident later in this post.) The bill, HR 51, was introduced by Democratic DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who is merely a "delegate" because the 700,000+ residents of DC don't have a full member of Congress. The vote was along party lines, 216 to 208. The issue, of course, is just a complete fucking no-brainer, a...

Evan HurstApril 21, 2021 09:18 AM This picture feels appropriate for this post. If you were on Wonkette on Tuesday, you know the Senate Judiciary Committee had a hearing on the GOP's new spate of Jim Crow-style laws to stop Black voters and others they view as less-than from voting. Stacey Abrams testified, Georgia Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock testified, some others testified. And of course, the GOP showed its racist dumb ass. Doesn't mean there weren't some fun moments, though! Here are three of our favorites: The Part Where Stacey Abrams Calmly Kicked Lindsey Graham's Antebellum Ass ...

Evan HurstApril 20, 2021 12:45 PM Buy your TYRANT JOE BIDEN gear right here! Well, it's official, Joe Biden is a TYRANT who NEVER lets us GO ANYWHERE in the WHOLE WORLD. OK, we are kidding about a serious subject, like we traditionally do at Wonkette. Joe Biden is not in fact a tyrant. He just really doesn't want people to die of coronavirus, and though things are getting better in some ways in America, at least when it comes to the number of us vaccinated, we have to start considering that this damn pandemic won't be over until the whole world has gotten jabbed.

Evan HurstApril 14, 2021 08:57 AM This is Matt Gaetz's real face. Two big stories broke out of Matt Gaetz's pants last night, are you ready? First of all, the New York Times says Joel Greenberg, Gaetz's wingman, the man who apparently looked up to Gaetz as a hero — how low on the ladder of life do you have to be to look UP and see Matt Gaetz? — is definitely absolutely cooperating with the feds. According to the Times, it's not he might be about to flip, like we thought it was the other day. It's not just "I am sure Matt Gaetz is not feeling very comfortable today," like Greenberg's la...

Evan HurstApril 15, 2021 12:50 PM Not actually the Michael Bolton testifying today. This week, we had a story about a new report from Capitol Police Inspector General Michael Bolton — no, not the "Time, Love and Tenderness" guy, he is not doing a second career as an inspector general! — about what the Capitol Police knew and when they knew it, regarding the January 6 domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol. Quoting Wonkette: Capitol Police Assistant Inspector General Michael A. Bolton has released what the New York Times calls a "scathing new report" that reveals the Capitol Police knew...
