Donald Trump

Melissa McCarthy won an Emmy this year for outstanding guest actress in a comedy series, and she couldn’t have done it without a major assist from Sean Spicer, the former White House Press Secretary for President Donald Trump. McCarthy spoofed Spicer and his bizarrely confrontational press briefings on last season of Saturday Night Live. McCarthy’s Spicer was an inferno of rage, insults, and rolling podiums. It was an incredible performance; by far, the biggest downside of Spicer’s resignation in July was the fact that McCarthy wouldn’t get to play ol’ Spicey more on this fall’s season of SNL.

American Horror Story Season 7 isn’t quite under the same veil of secrecy as its predecessor, but has nonetheless sown confusion over its use of 2016 Election figures. First we wouldn’t see Trump and Clinton; then we would, and now Ryan Murphy finally clears up how.

In the election’s immediate aftermath, we had to wonder if Alec Baldwin had the SNL commitment to keep playing Trump as necessary for such a weekly target.

Every four years, you hear it from both sides of the aisle: "If my candidate doesn't win, I'm moving to Canada." The ratio of those who have said it compared to those who have actually done it is ridiculously lopsided. Primarily because it's not as easy as moving from Quincy to Hannibal...

I saw this tweet from the world’s most famous astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson back in August, and as much as I don’t want to relive another vitriolic campaign season, I couldn’t help but wonder: How would a “none of the above” vote actually fare in the general election?
