Incoming president declares that "violent SCUM" has "infiltrated all aspects of our government and our Nation" and must be stopped through "strength and powerful leadership"... This won't end well.

The incoming felon-elect is willing to send our troops to “take back the Panama Canal” in order to stop their government from investigating his businesses there, but he says that lowering the price of groceries here at home will be “too hard.”

Anyone else see a problem here?

I’ve sounded the alarm about companies like Teva rigging the patent system to keep the price of inhalers high.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
