The Daily Show

Just wanted to share this: Texas Senator Ted Cruz was not a fan of a Tuesday Daily Show segment and he let host Trevor Noah know it. The bit was about Congressional reapportionment due to population shifts in the U.S. Those shifts are causing New York to lose a U.S. House seat while Texas picks up...

You know what? NO. You don't get to do this. Not this time, Fox News. During the violent insurrection at the Capitol building, everyone was on the same page.

Trump celebrated a month and 26 days of asshat amateurism left by having a one minute briefing and taking no questions at the White House, but claiming credit for the stock market record even as he had predicted a crash with a Biden victory. x The First Lady (right) at the...

Jordan Klepper’s frequent embedded reports from MAGA-land have been a breath of fresh air over the past five years, so of course The Daily Show simply had to send him to Denial-palooza.  And he didn’t disappoint.  In this episode we discover that Trump fans can’t count to two; the only trustworthy figures...

It is nigh on the witching hour and well past weed o’clock, but I have to share this … like a Trump shares an STD* … but with joy and jocularity, not with malice and burning.  It’s excellent. I’d provide a pithy summary with a heapin’ helpin’ of scintillating bons mots, but I...

I was in Atlanta, Georgia, three years ago for Netroots Nation.  (Totally bummed we had to cancel in Denver this year.)  It was during this time that a young activist was brutally murdered at the white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia to protest the removal of a...

A devastating Washington Post story from this morning details the Trump administration’s myriad failures on the way to thousands of American deaths (and counting). In short, the White House refused to take the coronavirus threat seriously or take appropriate action until it was too late.

Remember the Kushner scam regarding $500K visas and condo sales in New Jersey. Maybe Trump will throw in a free ventilator, because what other fresh grifting hell is this administration.

I’d prefer a more scientific survey, but that wouldn’t be nearly as funny, would it? Also, I pretty much already knew that Trump supporters haven’t read the “transcript” (which, to be fair, isn’t a real transcript) because 1) they’re Trump supporters, 2) I sincerely doubt they know what a transcript...
