Pataki Ends Bid for GOP Prez Candidate: Damn, We Thought He Already Had

Pataki Ends Bid for GOP Prez Candidate: Damn, We Thought He Already Had

Posted by | Dec 30, 2015 | |

Former governor of New York, George Pataki, has officially announced the end of his campaign for the Republican bid. Pataki struggled from the outset against bigger names and bigger budgets and was averaging a 0% in polling. Throughout his short lived campaign, he was unable to a secure a spot even in the second-tier “undercard” debates. Incapable of gaining the traction he needed to have his moderate voice heard among the sea of conservative candidates, The Boston Globe was the first to announce he was throwing in the towel. Pataki has since released an official campaign suspension announcement, in...

Shkreli’s Drug Company KaloBios Files for Bankruptcy

Posted by | Dec 30, 2015 | , |

Only two weeks after Martin Shkreli was, to the delight of many, placed under arrest for securities fraud, the KaloBios drug company he only recently took over is pursuing bankruptcy protection. Former hedge-fund manager Shkreli recently received major media backlash when Turing Pharmaceuticals, under his direction, raised the price of a medication designed to treat parasitic infections most common to pregnant women from $13.50 to $750 a pill. A prime example of the greed and corruption in the pharma industry, Shkreli’s downfall is satisfying to say the least and has left KaloBios and Turing in a scramble to pick...

Congressman Promises That Call For Surveillance of Mosques Is “Nothing Against Muslims”

In an effort to defend his call for “24/7 surveillance” of mosques, Congressman Peter King brought the hate speech home to Fox News, claiming “that’s where the threat is coming from.” Although King conceded that the majority of American Muslims are “good people” and bragged almost comically about his “good friend,” the first elected Muslim in Long Island who he would soon be swearing into office, he stood by his assertion that infringing on the constitutional rights of the American people is not only acceptable, but necessary. King came armed with historical justification for his ridiculous proposition, citing past...

American Idiocracy: Trump Spokesperson Wears BULLET Necklace on CNN

Posted by | Dec 30, 2015 | , , |

A Trump spokeswoman’s aggressive accessorizing during a recent TV interview has officially taken the right-wing gun obsession to a new level. Katrina Pierson, in what was obviously a blatant appeal to the gun obsessed and a desperate plea for attention, donned a necklace made of bullets before making an appearance on CNN last night. Having found a way to pander to their voter niche without even speaking, Pierson’s attempt to incorporate a political platform into her personal appearance may have resonated with rednecks but left the rest of the viewer’s somewhere between confusion and disgust. Such a lack of...

Little Hitler’s followers too dense to know this video makes fun of them

Posted by | Dec 30, 2015 | |

A new parody campaign advertisement designed to mock Trump supporters has been getting a lot of attention lately, especially from the audience it insults. However, for once Trump’s followers are not in an outrage. But, why? As if the satirical video wasn’t funny enough on its own, the comedy was kicked up a notch when Trump supporters failed to realize that the ad was a joke. Arizona’s Public Integrity Alliance (PIA) created the fake ad in an attempt to highlight how hilariously bad Trump’s ideas and the people who praise them are, so Tyler Montague of the PIA said...
