Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat Roasts Trump, Kanye, and U2 at Kennedy Center Honors

Once again taking up the weight of one of the world’s most famous mustaches, Sacha Baron Cohen donned his Borat persona to roast Kanye West, Donald Trump, and the rising tide of global antisemitism at the 2022 Kennedy Center Honors. U2, George Clooney, Gladys Knight, Amy Grant, and Tania León were among the evening’s honorees. Cohen had been tapped to pay tribute to U2, or as Borat called them, “Me Too.” But his attention quickly turned to presidents past and present, as Deadline reports. “I am told the president of US today is here. Where are you Mr. Trump?” When the cameras panned to Joe Biden, he added, “You don’t look so good.” Advertisement Related Video “Where has your glorious big belly gone?” Borat continued. “And your pretty orange skin has become pale?“ He added, “...

Journey’s Neal Schon Hits Bandmate Jonathan Cain with Cease and Desist over Mar-A-Lago Performance

Journey’s Neal Schon has hit bandmate Jonathan Cain with a cease and desist over Cain’s performance of “Don’t Stop Believin’” at Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort. In November, Cain participated in a singalong of “Don’t Stop Believin’” with Trump sycophants Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Kari Lake. The performance struck a nerve with Schon, who fired off a cease and desist. “Although Mr. Cain is free to express his personal beliefs and associations, when he does that on behalf of Journey or for the band, such conduct is extremely deleterious to the Journey brand as it polarizes the band’s fans and outreach. Journey is not, and should not be, political,” Schon’s attorney wrote in a letter (via The Guardian). Advertisement Related Video “Mr. Cain’s unauthorized af...

New York Jury Finds Trump Organization Guilty Of Tax Fraud

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: SOPA Images / Getty Finally! Donald Trump has been found guilty in a court of law. No, not for inciting an insurrection against the U.S. Government or for meddling in the 2020 Presidential Election, or for defaming rape accuser, E. Jean Carroll, but for tax fraud. Hey, something’s something, right? According to The Gothamist, a Manhattan jury just found the Trump Organization guilty on all 17 felonies related to tax fraud including first-degree scheme to defraud, conspiracy, criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records. While this verdict doesn’t mean that Donald Trump will see anytime behind bars, it does potentially spell the end of the Tump business “empire” and will put the squeeze on Cheeto Jesus’ grifting pockets.

Kanye West Pals Up with Holocaust Denier Nick Fuentes, Travels to Meet Trump at Mar-A-Lago

Just when you thought Kanye West’s far-right heel turn couldn’t get any more disturbing, the former rap legend is now associating himself with white nationalist and Holocaust denier, Nick Fuentes. In fact, the two recently traveled together to Mar-A-Lago to meet with Donald Trump. The 24-year-old Fuentes has emerged as one of the leading figures of the far-right movement for his incendiary views on women, Jewish people, the LGBTQ+ community, and other minorities. Notably, he openly praises Hitler, believes that the Holocaust was a hoax, and is opposed to women’s right to vote. He was also present for “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017, and spoke at a “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, DC on January 6th. And now, he’s hobnobbing with Kanye West. As West h...

Phony Stark aka Elon Musk To Reinstate Donald Trump On Twitter, White Power Twitter Praises Lord Cheeto’s Return

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: OLIVIER DOULIERY / Getty The moment most everyone, with common sense, feared has arrived. Billionaire troll Elon Musk said on Saturday (Nov. 19) that he would be reinstating Donald Trump to the platform. The decision is only the latest, eyebrow-raising move from Musk, who purchased Twitter in October for $44 billion after trying for months not to purchase the social media app. Since his purchase, Musk has fired thousands of employees and has inspired thousands of resignations—all while throwing cold water on the theory that billionaires must be sound business people. So it shouldn’t be a shock that musk would move to reinstate Trump, who was infamously booted from the app back in January 2020 thanks to his rhetoric that inspired the January 6 Insurr...

Elon Musk Restores Donald Trump’s Twitter Account After Online Poll

Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump’s account on Twitter on Saturday (Nov. 19), reversing a ban that has kept the former president off the social media site since a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was poised to certify Joe Biden’s election victory. Musk made the announcement in the evening after holding a poll that asked Twitter users to click “yes” or “no” on whether Trump’s account should be restored. The “yes” vote won, with 51.2 percent. “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.” Shortly afterward Trump’s account, which had earlier appeared as suspended, reappeared on the platform complete with his former ...
