Survival Tips in Trumpland

It has only been two and a half weeks.  It took almost three whole weeks for America to regress back to the normalized ignorance of the 1950s. But fear not, we can do this, guys.  We have literally done it before.  Yeah, it sucked a lot of ass along the way but let's not lose focus on the future or the children... because they are like the same thing or something.

Still, it can be hard out here, as anyone that actually attempts to raise their kids will tell you.  Don't worry, I got ya back.  Here are some survival tips to help us all get through the next few years.

1.  Fuck - Wait, why are you not doing this already?  Anyhoo, the world might need them kids for votes.  There are only 5 presidential elections before they can carry the mantle.  Get to fucking, rational people.  Yes, rational people, get your sex parts together.  We already know dumb people getting their unprotected juice exchanges on without any encouragement.

2.  Read - The American media is basically just a show now.  No, it isn't faked but it isn't very informative either.  Luckily, Al Gore invented the internet.  There is a wealth of info out there.  Go get a slice.

3.  Drink - Trust me on this one.  We are just beginning an era of outward lying by the oval office.  Don't look straight in to the fire.  Dull your senses so you have the strength to keep coming back.

4.  Don't check out - Now that you're faded, informed and sexed up, this will be easier.  Too many have checked out already and what the Devil need to win is the indifference of otherwise good people.

5.  Buy Used - The economy is going to bubble and tank.  It happened the last 3 times a Republican was elected to the White House. (Why do we keep doing this???)  Better not buy that new whip unless you're comfortable living in it.  Don't build that house unless you never plan on living in it.

6.  Keep Your Resume Handy - Sure, you don't think you're touchable.  You got the game on lock, then LeBron comes flying in and blocks your layup and now you have to break up Durant and Westbrook to have a chance at another title before Steph's ankles go bad.  Anything can happen.

7.  Lie - One thing Donald Trump taught us is that the truth and facts don't mean shit.  You want to survive out here?  Let these niggas know that you bench 400 pounds, fly a helicopter and fucked the shit out of Jennifer Lopez back in '06.  You might end up being the President.

8.  Ball Until You Fall - You remember that time you got like your first 1000 dollar account balance  and you felt like you were never going back?  Then, you remember the overdraft fee you were paying 2 months later?  Uneducated White men just got their student loan checks and in two shakes of a PBR can they are going to ask to hold $5 from everyone else in the world.  Do yourself and spend it before Cleetus does.

9.  Don't Buy a Gun (if you're not White) - Follow me on this one.  You know how crazy rednecks are acting right now?  It will have nothing on how they will start acting when they realize that President spray tan has hoodwinked them.  As per the usual, the less enlightened will find some niggas and Mexicans to blame their problems on and will legit deserve to be shot.  This is bad but it isn't worse than doing 25 years for being mistaken about your "rights."

10.  Stop Arguing - America is being willfully stupid and no amount of facts is going to help that.  Say what's on your mind and bounce.  Everyone loves a good mic drop.  Now it's our turn.


It's all good guys.  They still make vodka and Marvel movies.  One day we will look back at these times and laugh... or we'll all be dead but we may as well die smiling.

Maury must be stopped. No one has profited more from Black people being ignorant than he.   I know the old saying: “Mama’s baby, Papa’s maybe.” But, contrary to popular belief, Black men love their children.   Everyone loves children.   Even if Black men realize that they aren’t bringing much to a household, they know that there is magic there.   That magic might be scary, like all magic, but it’s there.   There isn’t much difference between the love that develops between a man and a child with his D.N.A.   and a man that a child that he has raised. I am my father’s son.   No, I’m not light skinned or a hustler, but I laugh when I hear something funny.   I’ll sit on a porch and dink liquor all Saturday morning.   My toes are extraordinarily long (just like his).   I will see a beautiful woman and take notice just because I am a man and that’s what a man does.   My dad raised me well. When you see a Black man on Maury, y...

For my friends that considered suicide when having a nigga in your corner isn't enough

I remember wanting to die.  I didn't want to kill myself per se, I just wished that I could just go the fuck away.  I was a young, skinny teenager that wasn't looking forward to anything outside of video games.  What kind of life is that? But teenage life is always stupid.  When the lead actor is phoning it in, the play sucks.  That is teenage life in America.  I wish I could say that only teenagers go dark enough to want to die but we all know that is not true.  Life gets so much harder for people that dare to be an adult. As an adult, I get reminded of my younger years because shit still gets dark.  When I feel that kind of hopelessness, I still remember the fire that gets lit inside of me.  My ability to say "Fuck all of these people." is my super power.  It is a necessary tool for me.  When all the love I try to spread around begins to fail that flaming hatred for those that I let push me there always comes back.  Someh...

Code Cracked: LeBron

After LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers were swept by the Golden State Warriors my timeline was predictably filled with people arguing that LeBron couldn't possibly be the greatest of all time because he didn't fart rainbows or just will his team to victory. One of the most eyebrow raising post was of Michael Jordan celebrating another title.  I don't even remember what Mike was going on about but it made remember remember something about Mike that I had forgotten in all the Lebron comparisons: Mike was a complete asshole. Then, I got to thinking about Mike's heir (air) to the title of best in the game, Kobe.  Kobe wasn't brimming with personality but one thing that we should all agree on, is that he was also a fucking dick.  I specifically remember him ignoring Chris Rock on the sidelines like he was too focused to be funny. Then there's LeBron James.  Even when he has a team full of underachievers he has the nerve to pick up his purse and leave ra...
