A recent poll suggests that some Americans like Clinton, some like Trump, and some like the idea of a giant ball of dust and ice destroying us all where we stand. As the kids say: Me af.
Modern politics is a horrifying sight to stare dead in the eye. It’s an amorphous, vile, contradictory and confounding sight—one that evokes the same pain as staring directly into the sun. A t-shirt seen by a reporter for the Associated Press at Donald Trump’s rally in Syracuse on Saturday is the perfect metaphor for…
Memory is a funny thing, and it’s even funnier when you’re in the midst of a bitter fight for the highest political office in the country.

At a Friday press conference, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver threatened to sue the Democratic National Committee for withholding voter data from their campaign.
While the 2016 GOP field has been characterized by its resemblance to a clown car on methamphetamines, the corresponding Democratic field has been disappointingly small, and, to date, as boring as a race between a political juggernaut and a self-identified socialist from Vermont can be. No longer.
Yesterday, Hillary Clinton hopped aboard the anti-police state wave, announcing in a speech at Columbia University that police brutality and over-incarceration were cultural malignancies that Had To Stop. The move, politically expedient given ongoing unrest in several cities over recent high-profile cases of deadly…
The photogenic gay couple from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign announcement video has invited the Democratic only-runner to their upcoming wedding. Too bad she’s probably going to be kind of busy for the next five hundred days.
According to a new Gallup poll, Hillary Clinton is owning the other potential 2016 Presidential contenders when it comes to favorability. Fortunately for Clinton, not enough people care enough about the fact that she also owned the server she used to send personal and professional emails back when she was Secretary of…
Embattled (and undeclared) 2016 Presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has some 'splaining to do about why she used her own personal server to send and receive emails while serving as Obama's Secretary of State. She'll attempt to do that later this afternoon, in a press conference that Bloomberg Politics is …
Hillary Clinton, who is not not running for President, is not not starting her campaign later than most candidates, because nobody in the Democratic field is mounting even the meekest of realistic challenges to her assumed candidacy.
Last Thursday, a Hillary Clinton speech was interrupted by an airborne shoe hoisted by a Alison Michelle Ernst, a woman with a documented history of erratic behavior. Seems like a pretty open-and-shut case: unstable person behaves anti-socially. The end. But because Hillary Clinton is involved, and in the eyes of…
All that Hillary Clinton 2016 speculation just went from wishful political fanfic to political possibility, as the former Secretary of State and First Lady admitted yesterday that she's "thinking about" running for President. Everybody freak out!
This week's Time cover story is on Hillary Clinton's unannounced but somehow still unassailable candidacy for President. To illustrate this, they use a stock photo of a woman's heel nearly crushing a tiny hapless man.
No, this isn't a Leslie Knope stress dream: according to a new book about the 2012 Presidential election, some top White House aides thought it would be a good idea to replace Vice President Joe Biden with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a way to bolster Obama's floundering approval ratings. Imagine what…
Anthony Weiner concluded a disastrous New York City mayoral primary by being chased through a Midtown McDonald's pursued by a scorned 23-year-old sext partner in spike heels and then driving off flashing his middle finger like the Wiz Khalifa of losing elections, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Our long regional…
According to data from the Center for American Progress, President Barack Obama hasn't been any better about appointing women to cabinet-level positions than former President Bill Clinton was over a decade ago. The New York Times reports that both he and Clinton appointed 13 women during their two terms.
Hillary Clinton told a crowd earlier today that she won't be running for President in 2016, and while she didn't come right out and say it, she sort of implied that she's tired of the unique brand of bullshit The People have flung at her during her decades-long career in the public eye. What can the hopeful masses do…
In a juxtaposition that exemplifies how fucking annoying coverage of women in politics can be, news stories today report that our Secretary of State is trying to do her job. Meanwhile, she wants grandbabies.
Politics can make for strange bedfellows. Over the last two days, progressives have joined conservatives in their calls to delay or kill the health care reform bill, but party icons like Bill Clinton are advocating to stay the course.
