Donald Trump has been damaging his own brand with his bigoted, xenophobic, gaffe and scandal plagued presidential campaign, and the fallout is starting to spread to those who have unwisely hitched their wagon to his falling star. Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, toured the D. G. Yuengling & Son’s brewery in Pottsville, Pennsylvania on Monday, meeting with owner Richard “Dick” Yuengling. “This is an amazing American success story,” Trump said during a brief news conference at the brewery, Reading Eagle...

When he came out to his progressive family at the family barbecue, he didn’t want no trouble. Just a pat on the back and the relief of knowing he could “move on with their support.” But no such luck. That close, ever-smiling, ever-prying family support didn’t stop after the obligatory “We’re so proud” and “It’s okay to be gay.” Now, “all they talk about is how I’m gay. Nothing else I do matters.” Such is the (thoroughly modern) problem facing Reddit...

Most enthusiastic Hillary supporter ever. Via YouTube, TBS. Anyone who says there aren’t any enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporters have clearly never met this man. He’s as with her as you can possibly be, going so far as to say, “I would totally bottom for that b*tch, you know?” Hillary has been cycling through slogans – “I’m With Her,” “Stronger Together,” “Love Trumps Hate,” “Make America Whole” – but something tells us that one won’t find its way onto any officially licensed...
