Against all odds, Democrat Doug Jones was elected to the U.S. Senate near the beginning of this month, beating Republican candidate and alleged pedophile Roy Moore. Jones’ victory was decisive, but the fact that it wasn’t a full-on trouncing says something pretty depressing about the political climate in this country…
After narrowly winning the recent Alabama senatorial special election against still-ranting sore loser, overt racist, and accused child molester Roy Moore, Senator-elect Doug Jones appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Thursday, and was the very picture of “not-insane, creepy, and horrible” that the good people…
After black voters in Alabama voted for Democrat Doug Jones and against bigot and accused child molester Republican Roy Moore to the tune of 98 per cent, Late Night With Seth Meyers’ writer, performer, future sitcom star, and general force of charm and delight in the world Amber Ruffin took to the stage for an Alabama…
If we’re all being honest, a lot of people didn’t really expect Doug Jones—a Democrat—to beat Republican Roy Moore—an accused pedophile—in Alabama’s special election this week to fill Jeff Sessions’ Senate seat. Someone within Team Jones must have kept the faith, though, because they cued up a pretty solid track to…
Throughout the course of his campaign, U.S. Senate candidate from Alabama, alleged pedophile, and sore loser Roy Moore was universally derided by the late night cognoscenti. No host, however, irked Moore more than Jimmy Kimmel, who after sending guerilla comedian Tony Barbieri to an Alabama campaign rally, was issued…
America breathed a sigh of wearied relief tonight: less a moment of political exultation, and more one borne of the sense that an (allegedly) pedophilic bullet had sailed right over our heads, as multiple outlets reported that Democrat Doug Jones had defeated his opponent, God-and-brown-people-fearing Republican judge…
We take our moments of joy where we can get them these days, whether it’s an occasional bout of presidential mush-mouth, or an Alabama Republican going slack-jawed with horror at a concept that’s so clearly, painfully outside his worldview that it appears to be breaking his brain. That’s what viewers of CNN’s The Lead …
With the special election for an Alabama senate seat coming down to the for-some difficult choice between an alleged child molester, outspoken bigot, and twice-fired disgraced judge on the one hand, and someone who is none of those things (and who, among other accomplishments, successfully prosecuted the KKK) on the…
Jimmy Fallon might suck, but at least his friends don’t. Patton Oswalt, clad in a cowboy hat and little black vest, swung by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night to play everyone’s favorite God-fearing alleged pervert, Roy Moore.
With polls showing—nauseatingly—it’s still anyone’s race in the Alabama special election for Jeff Sessions’ old senate seat, Stephen Colbert had some thoughts on Tuesday’s Late Show for those Republicans working overtime to prop up noted bigot, twice-fired disgraced judge, and thoroughly alleged sexual predator Roy…
When the news broke earlier in the day that U.S. Senate candidate from Alabama, sexual assaulter of underage girls (allegedly), and noted bigot (empirically) Roy Moore had taken umbrage at a satirical stunt by Jimmy Kimmel Live! writer Tony Barbieri (as his Sacha Baron Cohen-style provocateur character, Jake Byrd),…
Roy Moore is a bigoted, homophobic birther who’s been twice-fired from being Chief Justice Of The Alabama Supreme Court and is now accused of being a serial pedophile by eight different women. He’s also, in the most sterile and cold-blooded sense, a Christian, which is what’s allowed him to keep the coveted…
James O’Keefe, this week’s canker sore on the roof of America’s mouth, has been in hot water since the latest blunder in ongoing series of blunders, Project Veritas. Through a process probably best described as “espionage for dipshits,” O’Keefe’s Veritas work seeks to uncover the deep, dark political secrets the…
As Trumpers and similarly right-leaning dummies try to dismiss the child molestation allegations against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore as “fake news,” The Washington Post has managed to shut down an attempt by well-known conservative bullshit factory Project Veritas to actually generate some real fake news.…
One of the most shocking things to emerge from the political landscape of late is the “alt-right”’s continued efforts to defend Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore after a Washington Post report (and subsequent revelations) revealed the public official’s pattern of alleged sexual misconduct against underaged…
Dear women of America: Good news! Donald Trump thinks you’re special, and not just in a “happens to be his daughter Ivanka” kind of way. No, Trump thinks you’re all a bunch of real special ladies, and he’d like you to keep that fact in mind as he continues to offer his support to accused sexual abuser Roy Moore during…
On a day where yet more disturbing, dismaying, and downright disgusting details emerged of powerful men being assholes to women, Stephen Colbert took time out of his Thursday Late Show monologue to muse, “I guess there are no good people left.” Seemingly resigned to the fact that, any goddamned day now, we’ll see…
Because he is neither a journalist nor a human with any consistent sense of morality or integrity, Sean Hannity decided yesterday that, actually, alleged pedophile Roy Moore is probably fine. As the clock ticked down on Hannity’s 24-hour ultimatum that Moore disprove the mounting allegations of sexually assaulting…
Airing only once a week, Full Frontal With Samantha Bee has both the handicap and advantage of playing catch-up on the week’s events. On the one hand, if—just to pick a crazily improbable example—a Republican senate candidate who’s already infamous for gleeful, atavistic bigotry is also revealed as a likely lifelong…
All you can do is laugh, right? You know, when a U.S. Senate contest comes down to a choice between a Democrat (Doug Jones) whose legal career includes prosecuting the klansmen responsible for the 1963 Birmingham 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, and a twice fired Republican former judge (Roy Moore) who’s a noted…
