HipHopWired Featured Video Source: STRINGER / Getty After months of ducking and dodging New York Attorney General Letitia James and her team of lawyers as part of a three-year investigation into his shady business practices, Donald Trump was finally deposed early this morning and sho’nuff, he pleaded the fifth. According to CNN the man who years ago called out his political opponents by saying “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the fifth Amendment?” once again found out that karma is a b*tch when he did the same exact thing as investigators began asking him questions about whether or not his Trump Organization misled lenders, insurers and tax authorities by providing them misleading financial statements. Naturally the man who has lied more than any President in American history knew h...

Joe Rogan Calls Donald Trump a “Man-Baby” on Adderall
Joe Rogan is a one-man shitstorm of misinformation, but since he is also the world’s most popular podcast host, being a well-informed citizen means occasionally checking which way the shit is blowing. At the moment he’s aiming the excrement at Donald Trump, saying in a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience that the former president is a “man-baby” who can hardly read without Adderall. Via The Daily Beast, the segment was led by Tom Segura, who wondered at Trump being “full of fucking energy” when he supposedly only slept four hours a night. “He’s on Adderall,” Rogan responded. “Do you think he’s on Adderall? “Yes, I do, only because there were multiple people who used to work on The Apprentice that were like, ‘He was fucking gassed up for shoots,R...
Jack White Blasts Trump for “All the Abortions You Secretly Paid For” After Roe v. Wade Overturned
Like many of us, Jack White is incensed at the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and strip people of their constitutional right to safe abortions. In a lengthy Instagram post, the rocker expressed his frustration at the court itself, the two-party system, and especially former President Donald Trump, a “clown” who selected “THREE conservative supreme court justices, THREE.” White complained that the two-party system “allows the chance for one of the parties to promote a professional wrestler of a ‘politician’ with absolutely no experience in govt., who cares only about his own ego, who uses Christianity (of which he isn’t one) to propel his career at the expense of those Christians (and the rest of us all), who uses patriotism as a dog whistle for racism and fear etc., and a...
The Boys Showrunner Confirms Homelander Is a “Trump Analogue”
The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has clarified what more discerning viewers of Season 3 of the superhero parody series already figured out: the evil Superman character Homelander is a stand-in for former president Donald Trump. “He’s always been a Trump analogue for me,” Kripke said in a recent Rolling Stone profile. “I’ll admit to being a little more bald this season than I have in past seasons. But the world is getting more coarse and less elegant. The urgency of our team’s writing reflects that. We’re angrier and more scared as the years go on, so that is just being reflected in our writing. But part of it is where Homelander’s story naturally goes. He has this really combustible mix of complete weakness and insecurity, and just horrible power and ambition, and it’s just such a dead...
