Like the rest of America, Donald Trump is still in disbelief that he won the election. His victory, which has turned America into a puss-filled cyst on Earth’s serene surface, exposed the vulnerabilities of an antiquated voting system that distorts the popular vote by favoring smaller, less populated areas over urban…
Whether it’s a Bantu knot, a cornrow or some Paula Deen recipe that was likely “inspired” by her former black chef, white people are always being assigned credit for the work done by darker people. This is not a new phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination, but it is perpetually annoying. And when it’s applied to…
At a rally in Hershey, PA Thursday night, president-elect Donald Trump called for the largely white crowd to cheer for all the “smart” black Americans who “didn’t come out to vote” for Hillary Clinton this election. And cheer they did.
Chris Suprun is a paramedic from Dallas, Texas. A Republican member of the Electoral College, he has previously voiced his support for PEOTUS and poorly dressed meatball Donald Trump. In the last month, however, Suprun has changed his mind.
President-elect Donald Trump, a radioactive double chin with a Twitter account, has demonstrated time and again that his skin—though infused with neon bacteria—is perilously thin. And now, as Hillary Clinton’s popular vote steadily eclipses his own, and as Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein begins submitting …
Well, shit. With a mere 90 minutes to spare, Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein submitted an official petition requesting a recount of Wisconsin’s general election results.
In a development that would feel insane any other year but seems about on par for 2016, New York magazine’s Gabriel Sherman reported yesterday that a group of election lawyers and computer scientists are urging the Clinton campaign to ask for recounts in three key states won by Donald Trump. Wednesday morning, one of…
Is it fair to say Kanye West differentiates not between positive and negative attention, so long as attention is paid? Something to think about in light of this morning’s news, which is that West told a crowd of booing concertgoers that although he didn’t vote this election, he would have voted for Trump if he had.
In these trying times, it’s important to take our strength—our will to keep on going— where we can find it. That’s why we’re delighted to report that Paris Hilton cast her vote on Election Day for her geriatric family friend who really enjoyed her sex tape.
Last night, the hidden factions of white supremacy fully emerged, though we know they were never really hidden. You could call Donald Trump’s win a shock, but that’s also another lie. The blinding red map last night that looks so much like blood, and feels so much like a relapse, is simply the reality of existence.…
The state of New York has been blue in the last seven presidential elections and 2016 will (more than likely) go the same way. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, a former U.S. senator for New York, is projected to win the state in a landslide.
All election season long, celebrities have been speaking to us with their style and making political statements in their outfits. In the above ensemble from this week, Lady Gaga went extremely out in what looks like a Carrie Bradshaw Election Day gala look that also has strong Mary Poppins vibes. Not only does it…
Here is something stupid about me: I don’t totally get how scribbling in a circle and sliding my ballot into an old-looking machine could possibly do anything, but this morning I did it anyway and I didn’t even hassle one of the voting machine operators with a wink and a, “But does this really work?”
Tonight, at Hillary Clinton’s rally in Philadelphia, Michelle Obama brought down the house as she called for Americans to head to the polls and cast their votes for the nation’s first female president.
As Donald Trump made his final appearance in North Carolina on Monday afternoon, the state Republican party gloated in a press release that turnout is down among black voters and up among white voters in early voting: “The once dynamic Obama Coalition [is] crumbling and tired.” From the release:
In less than 24 hours, polling places all over this great country of ours will dust off their ballot boxes, unfold a few chairs, and open their creaky doors long before the sun starts shining so that registered voters can help decide who will become the next President of the United States of America. But what good is…
It’s a fact: most of America votes for the Instagram content.
The 2016 general election takes place tomorrow, November 8, which means that at some point tomorrow (November 8), unless you’ve already participated in early voting, you get to be a great American and cast your vote for the next President of the United States of America, among other significant seats and state ballot…
Monday night, on the Halloween episode of Full Frontal, Samantha Bee sat down with President Barack Obama to discuss the upcoming election and getting young people to vote. To celebrate the holiday, she then asked for a scary story and Obama, against my advisement, took a page from you people.
Donald Trump—a Chipotle burrito taken to its natural, digested conclusion—spent the weekend campaigning in Colorado, which means that, yet again, he boohooed in public about purported election rigging. And in the process, he may have even implied that Colorado constituents should vote more than once.
