Saturday Night Live has never been shy about launching attacks on former host Donald Trump, filling its programming over the last few years with swipes against the current president that range all the way from tepid to “mildly cutting.” One of the best, though, wasn’t aimed at Trump himself—because it’s depressingly…
The right-wing establishment, the same one that bows at the feet of a president who impersonates disabled people, advocates violence, and routinely labels people as being “low-IQ individuals,” is now (checks notes) advocating for “civility.” Accompanying this new effort is a video that, by showing footage of various…
On last night’s Full Frontal, host Samantha Bee talked about the Trump administration’s habit of separating undocumented immigrant children from their parents when they cross the border, comparing that story to a fairly tone-deaf photo that Ivanka Trump posted over the weekend of her holding her young child. It was…
Somebody needs to go pick up several cases of Tide pens, because in a new interview with Vulture’s David Marchese published earlier today, multi-platinum record producer/multi-hyphenate music mogul Quincy Jones drops a half-century’s worth of piping-hot gossip all over the internet’s lap. In the interview, Jones, who…
When Oprah Winfrey delivered her impassioned speech Sunday night, vocalizing solidarity with women and survivors of abuse from all walks of live and looking to a better future for the girls watching at home, she no doubt hoped her message would be championed by women everywhere. What she probably didn’t expect was for…
It’s that time of year again, when yellowish, pollutant-drenched snow begins falling in the few places still cold enough to accumulate it, our harrowing class disparity is drawn into relief by the relentless consumerism that created it, and Donald Trump’s feeble, wild-eyed coalition of trigger-happy racists and…
Donald Trump may not be Time’s person of the year (yet), but Ivanka Trump indirectly just won a big award of her own. As reported by USA Today, her ignorance of what “complicit” means has helped make it Dictionary.com’s Word Of The Year, with her multiple misuses of the word in 2017 coinciding with major spikes in…
Last week, we presented some evidence on the possibility that Ivanka Trump doesn’t actually know how to use words, a theory based on her bizarre misuse of terms like “complicit,” “juxtaposition,” and “overlay.” We also noted that she doesn’t seem to know what a birthday is, at least according to a tweet in which she…
When you and your partner spend all week abusing a newly found position of power to promote your personal brands and increase your family’s already-substantial wealth, it can be difficult to find time for romance. Nobody knows that better than real-life ’80s-movie rich kids Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, which is…
For a while there, it was hoped that Ivanka Trump would be “a moderating influence” on her deranged, infirm father. Around the time of the Republican National Convention, the press and centrist politicians couldn’t stop lauding her poise, surmising that if Donald Trump could raise someone like her, maybe this whole…
In her mom Ivana’s new memoir Raising Trump, Ivanka Trump describes what she refers to as her “punk phase.” It didn’t involve protesting, or blasting Dead Kennedys records in her room, or chartering a private jet to London to walk in the footsteps of the Sex Pistols and The Clash. No, it involved dyeing her hair blue…
Lately it seems that not a week goes by without some revelation about the Trump family’s shadiness, whether it’s meeting with Russian officials about getting dirt on a political opponent or using private email accounts to correspond with White House staff. A new joint report from ProPublica, WNYC, and The New Yorker …
Thousands of people at Trump rallies cheered at the idea of sending Hillary Clinton to prison for no reason other than her use of a private email server, but for whatever reason, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner seem to be under the impression that it’s totally alright for them to do whatever they want with…
Here’s a really good tweet:
Family is difficult, a set of people with whom we have deeply ingrained connections and from whom we can never exactly escape. Spending time with them can be tense, full of conflicting emotions, and that must certainly only be exacerbated when that family is famous, in business together, or both.
There are a few occasions in life when you just have to throw up. Maybe you had a few too many Jell-o shots last night, maybe you shouldn’t have eaten at that mysterious taco stand, maybe you shouldn’t have inhaled those past-their-prescription-date pills. Good news! Now you can forego the ipecac: Donald Trump is here…
Celebrities truly are just like us, spending their long Labor Day weekends idly scrolling through Instagram and liking photos that appear on weird fan pages about themselves, just as every boy and girl in America does. Like literally all of us, after a traditional Labor Day cookout and a few attempts to serve as a…
Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, is often portrayed as either the president’s right-hand man, charged with everything from solving the opioid crisis to devising a solution to peace in the Middle East, or a cherub-faced dipshit who can’t stop colluding with Russians. In actuality, he is a bit of both, a…
You know how it is: You’re a world leader on the move, juggling tweets, calibrating handshakes for maximum awkwardness, and occasionally paying lip service to the work of international diplomacy. But you’re also a dad, hoping to give your beloved daughter the empowerment she needs to be a success in life (no matter …
Human coathanger and Florida Senator Marco Rubio recently attended a meeting with some colleagues to discuss paid family leave, and joining the elected officials at the meeting was unelected nepotism beneficiary Ivanka Trump. Trump, who has almost certainly had to explain to her father that “paid family leave” isn’t…
