Being a snowflake never really gets any easier. Sure, crayons and puppies get you through the immediate crises of Ben Shapiro showing up on your campus or finding that the food co-op is out of your favorite artisanal cheese.

Fox’s Family Guy can be pretty even-handed when it comes to its political humor at times, but when it swings left, it swings moronically to the left. The latest episode proves that with a visit from Russian president Vladimir Putin where the show obediently parrots the rigged election narrative.
Vanity Fair's James Wolcott Compares Trump to Hefner and Hitler
November 18th, 2017 1:56 PM
Comparing President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, as many liberals have done, was so common early this year that it has already become quite passé.

USA's 'Mr. Robot' Takes Cheap Shots Against 'Buffoon' Trump

I think by now there is pretty much no one on the left side of the political spectrum who takes to heart Michelle Obama’s words “When they go low, we go high.” If there is anything the recent episode of USA’s Mr. Robot taught me, it is that fact alone. That is, unless someone can enlighten me how calling the sitting president a “buffoon” is now the high road. I’ll be waiting.

The finale of American Horror Story: Cult aired on November 15.

Former Vice President and media darling Joe Biden has been making the rounds this week promoting his new book about his late son, who passed away in 2015.

MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell would love to cover the Robert Menendez trial. He really would. But he simply can’t because... Donald Trump. That was the lame excuse offered by O’Donnell on Monday as he talked to a local Philadelphia radio host.
