This election season, the media has found itself wrapped up in a perpetual cycle of self-loathing and self-adulation. We are, by our own estimation, both acutely to blame for the rise of abandoned roadside ham hock Donald Trump, and unimpeachable public servants, guilty only of doing our job.
Today, an ad started widely circulating on Twitter, purportedly from the Clinton campaign, featuring a tatted up, gelled, almost harassingly bearded man. “I’m man enough to vote for a woman...” it reads. “Are you?” The Clinton campaign confirms to Jezebel that this is not a real ad. Come on, guys.
In a report released on Wednesday, the State Department inspector general said that Hillary Clinton violated the agency’s rules with her private email server. The report also said that Clinton was not cooperative with the investigation and declined to be interviewed by the auditor. Clinton aides Huma Abedin, Jake…
As of 3:45 p.m., the Drudge Report was leading with a story about Bill Cosby. “COSBY TO STAND TRIAL IN SEX ASSAULT CASE,” the homepage screamed, underneath a photograph of Bill Cosby speaking as Hillary Clinton clapped approvingly in the background. The implication, of course, is that as long as Clinton stays silent…
Buckle up, buddies: our dreaded Laramie is back in the fucking game.
On Monday, swollen earthworm gizzard Donald Trump posted a short Instagram video in which interviews with women who allege that former President Bill Clinton assaulted them are spliced together with Hillary Clinton’s laughter, coupled with a question: Is Hillary really protecting women? The ad is exploitive, foul,…
Last week, Nevada Democratic State Party Chairwoman Roberta Lange was mobbed by harassment and death threats from irate Bernie Sanders fans who suspected her of handing the state to Hillary Clinton. On Saturday, Lange, a Mariners fan, tried to tweet lightheartedly about baseball. Guess how that went?
If you’ve ever imagined what it might look like to watch two presidential candidates waltz through a giant dance number, complete with fog machines and tuxedoed butlers, today’s your lucky day.
Donald Trump, still spiraling loudly nearly a week after the New York Times published a story that depicted his dealings with women in a negative light, is now contending that “it’s not the worst things, okay, when you look at what Clinton’s gone through and all the things that he’s done.” My, what a wonderful cast of…
As a person without “bosoms” or any opportunities to share a room with important political figures, I’ll never be able to experience what it’s like to have Hillary Clinton stare at my cleavage. But, if Christina Aguilera is to be believed (and she usually is—why wouldn’t she be?), I now know what it feels like.
If it were a trailer for a low-budget slasher movie, I’d say, “You should really tone it down.”
Marc Mezvinsky, husband to Chelsea Clinton and occasionally successful hedge fund manager, thought it would be a good idea to bet on the Greek economy a few years ago. But unfortunately for him and the rest of his firm, it was not. Mr. Chelsea Clinton has fucked up.
On Wednesday morning, MSNBC aired a segment featuring a group of five male voters (three Trump supporters and two “non-Trump supporters”) discussing whether or not they thought Hillary Clinton had properly dealt with her husband’s infidelity, because we all know that a thing never really happened unless a man has an…
Jennifer Lopez’s new video for “Ain’t Your Mama” includes the voices of Gloria Steinem, Patricia Arquette and Hillary Clinton speaking about women’s equality. And, according to a new report, it also includes a good deal of product placement—much of which was needed to support Lopez’s expensive vision for the video.
MSNBC commentator and Hardball host Chris Matthews found himself so captivated by the gait of Melania Trump while covering the Indiana primary on Tuesday night that he felt the need to express his admiration...out loud...with his mic on.
We have seen our fair share of bad takes this election cycle—we’ve seen the personal essay (ie. “Why the Feminist Vote Is a Vote for Jeb”), the unexpected turn (ie. “You Might Think Hillary Is a Woman—Here’s Why She Isn’t”), the outrage-bait garbage (ie. “A Liberal Case for Donald Trump”) (that one’s real).
Last week, roiling Cheez Whiz mass Donald Trump opined that Hillary Clinton is playing the “woman card,” which is, as we know, a very real thing that nets us almost equal pay and access into a very hot secret nightclub located in the foyer of every ladies room. It was a spectacular backfire: the Clinton campaign said…
Straight off winning five states last night, Donald Trump seemed to shift away from the rhetoric of a primary candidate and towards the rhetoric he’ll be using, barring an unlikely event at the GOP convention, for the next six months. And as Sanders loses states and makes it clearer that he’s in the race to influence…
It turns out that no, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton did not ascend the stage at a rally in Philadelphia to a song by the Freedom Kids, which is a blessing unto us all. Knowing her audience, Clinton instead celebrated her primary victory in Pennsylvania—as well as Delaware, Connecticut, and Maryland later on in…
During Monday night’s town hall on MSNBC, Hillary Clinton promised that, if elected president, women would make up half of her Cabinet.
