Temperamental gelatinous sponge Donald Trump has finally, after months of writer’s block, come up with the nickname “1 for 38 Kasich” for GOP rival John Kasich. Sad that he couldn’t think of anything better!
Senator Marco Rubio, still apparently not quite out of the habit of pandering to the Jews despite the fact that he is no longer running for anything at all, appears to have hosted a Passover seder for a group of miserable-looking staffers and PC computers. I have questions.
Politics are uniformly terrible except for when a cool piece of legislation passes or when someone does a worthy filibuster, but most of all when politicians and their staffers remember what it feels like to laugh and smile.
In 2013, Texas State Senator Wendy Davis delivered an electrifying 13-hour filibuster against SB 5, the disastrous omnibus abortion bill that was eventually enacted and is now better known as HB 2. The bill has, as Davis warned, become a public health disaster for Texas women, and, in reaching the Supreme Court, has…
Are you a free-spirited Californian who wanted to stick it to the brah by saying, “Nah, thanks brah,” to political parties and registering as an independent? You might have been one of the tens of thousands of state voters who accidentally registered for the American Independent Party (AIP)—an ultra conservative…
Amber Heard is guilty.
With summer approaching, the risk of a surge in cases of the Zika virus has become a major concern for US officials, and the White House has announced that they would be redirecting money earmarked for Ebola to efforts combatting Zika.
Up until now, Florida First Lady Ann Scott has flown largely under the radar; her biggest faux pas has been being married to Rick Scott, the much-disliked governor of the worst state in America. But that changed on Thursday when she decided to read a classroom of Hillsborough County fifth-graders a classic novel…
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, those two members of your book club who keep getting into weird passive-aggressive fights in the kitchen over the protagonist’s motivations, have been engaged in an extremely useful and pressing argument over who is less “qualified” to be president.
Scottish Labour Party leader Kezia Dugdale keeps her personal life close to her chest, but recently announced that she is in a same-sex relationship. Counting Dugdale, the majority of Scotland’s major party leaders have come out as lesbian, gay, or bisexual.
On an ordinary day, you wouldn’t ask Khloe Kardashian about politics during an interview because she doesn’t ordinarily discuss her political views in public. Questions about waist trainers? Go for it. Questions about organizing her closet? You could talk for hours. But last week, in a post on her paywalled blog, she…
These times we live in—they are troubled, are they not? What hath the commoners wrought upon our noble republic, with this “Trump” whose gaudy habits offendeth the senses? Whose common voice shall explain to one and all the unknowable thoughts of the peasantry?
In what is truly some unsurprising bit of polling, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that half of American women have a “very unfavorable” view of Donald Trump. Though the likely Republican presidential nominee claims to “cherish” women, touting the in-depth policy, “I will be so good to women,” it appears that a sizable…
The Republican National Committee has doubled down on its commitment to being a real headache by employing the conservative group America Rising Squared as a kind of attack squad. POTUS is almost out but let’s keep the contention going, shall we?
In a New Jersey press conference on Thursday, Gov. Chris Christie revealed that contrary to reports, he is not being held hostage by Donald Trump. It is not known whether he was blinking rapidly when he made this statement, or drawing “H-E-L-P” in the air with his hands.
GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA— On Saturday, the day of South Carolina’s Republican primary election, Ted Cruz’s Greenville campaign office was buzzing with volunteers—and at least one man who said he was with Keep the Promise, the super PAC that operates as Cruz’s hugely well-funded shadow campaign apparatus.
On the weekend of the Nevada Democratic caucus, there’s a lot of political trash to kick out of your way on the Internet. Here are some attempts at humor that have tripped me up.
