Clueless Katy Tur: Is Mike Johnson “Putting God Over the Declaration of Independence?”

Joy Behar: Once Trump Puts His Name on Prescription Drugs, “We’re All Going to Die!”

Jon Stewart Hoping for the “Electorate” to Repudiate “Putrid” Trump Administration

“Oh, people, close your eyes and dream. The day that the electorate in this great nation we call home repudiates this putrid administration – the day that that happens. My brother, my brother, there will be – and I mean this. The day that that happens, there will be a joyful noise from the bowels of this great country that will make Hungary’s repudiation of [Viktor] Orban look like an Amish Sabbath.”
