(VIDEO-AT-LINK)Here's a clip from last night's Nightly Show, where Larry Wilmore meets with six people he wasn't sure existed at first -- black Donald Trump supporters -- to present them with a simple question: "What the [expletive] are you thinking?" According to the Trump supporters, their main takeaways are that he's a lot like a rapper, he won't make them slaves, and they're tired of all the jokes, like one of Wilmore's questions: "Are you voting for Trump because, as an orange-American, he's the only remaining candidate of color?" At the end, Wilmore makes them all take a Trump-style pledge...

Bill Maher said after watching the recent Democratic primary debate co-hosted by Univision he realize there was a "real change" in the Democratic party's position on illegal immigration. It used to be comprehensive immigration reform, Maher said, now it's "you get across that river, you're here to stay." "Did you see the Democratic debate on Univision about a week ago?" Maher asked on Friday's edition of his HBO show Real Time. "Because there has been a real change with the Democrats, too. Mission Creep, I would call it. I understand their position was comprehensive immigration reform. Now, in front of...

Geraldo Rivera declared that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump could win 25 percent of the African American vote, adding that the GOP front-runner is not a racist. "I predict that Trump may get as much as 25 percent of the African American vote," Rivera said on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" on Thursday. "Why? Because he's anti-free trade or unfair trade. He's anti-immigration, the immigrants perceived by black Americans to being in direct competition to them." Rivera added that Trump is not responsible for bringing race into the political atmosphere, as the issue has been used by Democrats and Republicans...

One of the strangest feuds of the 2016 election cycle has not been Donald Trump vs. Ted Cruz or Hillary Clinton vs. Bernie Sanders. Rather, the weirdest battle of the campaign has pitted Trump, the mercurial Republican front-runner, against Megyn Kelly, the Fox News superstar. Trump reopened hostilities when he tweeted, "Everybody should boycott the @megynkelly show. Never worth watching. Always a hit on Trump! She is sick, & the most overrated person on tv."

No Trump, no show. Earlier today, Donald Trump announced that he wasn’t going to participate in the next GOP debate, which was scheduled to take place in Salt Lake City next week. Trump told Fox News “I think we’ve had enough debates,” and would instead be “making a major speech in front of a very important group of people.” Reaction to this was split. If you like Trump, you think that he doesn’t need to debate anymore. He just came off a series of major wins, and another night at the podium does nothing but give his detractors an opportunity...

That's it, the GOP primary is over and all the other campaigns can go home because Donald Trump is the GOP nominee, or so Morning Joe would have you believe. "And let me say that at 10 after the hour right here, Mika, the overwhelming odds have it that Donald Trump's going to win this thing outright." Joe Scarborough said of the fate of the GOP primary cycle. The morning of the third Super Tuesday Scarborough declared the nomination belongs to his buddy Trump, even though the delegate math does not add up. "What are the numbers, Mark Halperin, if...

Ted Nugent admitted that no one actually believes Donald Trump is a true conservative, but he supports the GOP presidential front-runner anyway because of his support for private gun ownership. In a brief interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Republican rocker and avid hunter was asked why he likes Mr. Trump over other conservative candidates who are more supportive of the Second Amendment....

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Ever. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits. Chuck Norris doesn’t call the wrong number, you answer the wrong phone. Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his dad did. When Chuck Norris crosses the street the cars have to look both ways. Death once had a near-Chuck Norris experience. Once a cobra bit Chuck Norris’ leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died. Chuck Norris sleeps with a pillow under his gun. Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one. Chuck Norris can...

Lilly Wachowski, one-half of the sibling filmmaker duo best known for their Matrix trilogy, has come out as a transgender woman in an essay published in the Windy City Times, a Chicago LGBT newspaper. The 48-year-old Wachowski, whose older sister Lana is also transgender, wrote that for the last year, media outlets have been indicating that they would break the news of her transition from Andy to Lilly — a prospect, she writes, that brought “dread and/or eye rolling exasperation.” She finally decided to come out herself after a reporter from the Daily Mail arrived on her doorstep, trying to...

MSNBC: 155 delegates are at stake for the Republicans in Tuesday's primaries and caucus, and there are growing calls for Marco Rubio to exit the race. Should he? The Morning Joe panel discusses. Joe Scarborough said Tuesday's primaries will result in a "brutal day" for Marco Rubio. Scarborough asks his panel what Rubio has to gain by staying the race, where he consistently finishes in third and fourth place. Scarborough asked if Rubio is "half as good as his fans in the media" say he is, then, "what has happened to his campaign? Why has he failed as miserably as...

Friends of both Nancy and Ronald Reagan would often remark about how deeply and passionately they loved each other, even after decades of marriage, a rare thing indeed in a world where half of all marriages end in divorce. The love story of the greatest president of the 20th Century and the actress and dancer whom he met in the early 1950s would make a great subject for a movie if Hollywood cared to make it. But the romance of Nancy and Ronald Reagan also changed the world. Without her, there might not have been him.

Donald Trump's bid to become president received a boost from an unexpected source when racist loon Al Sharpton promised to leave the country should Trump be elected. According to Sharpton, his pledge to leave the country "is a desperate plea to the people who love me to spare my having to move out" and "would save the government the expense of having to deport me along with all the other so-called undesirables Trump has threatened to oust." Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski predicted that Sharpton's vow "will help Donald's efforts to win votes. Getting endorsements from friends is nice, but...

Conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer said Wednesday that if either Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz lose their home state to Donald Trump it would almost certainly spell the end of their campaigns. "If either loses their home state to Trump, they have to pull out," Krauthammer said on the Fox News Channel. (VIDEO-AT-LINK) Rubio currently trails Trump in Florida and a new poll released Wednesday indicated Cruz was in a statistical dead heat with the billionaire in Texas. Krauthammer advised both Rubio and Cruz to find an "attack line" that can be deployed on Trump to freeze his momentum....

The Australian Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) has bullied a car service company into discontinuing its advertisement because the “sexist” portrayal of women allegedly results in the “vilification of women.” ABC Australia reports Ultra Tune’s “Unexpected Situation” advertisement has been pulled after the ASB determined the ad violates a “code of ethics” pertaining to “discrimination against women.” The 15-second advertisement in question features two women caught on train tracks and then panicking as a train approaches them. In order to “avoid unexpected situations” like getting caught on train tracks, the ad suggests people should “get your car serviced at Ultra Tune.” Although the advertisement ends...

He referenced Rubio's background and said the candidate will be able to unite the country. "Marco is a humble man who...

It was 2013 and I was road tripping out in the American south west. I was lucky enough to get a car with Sirius satellite radio which meant even in the most remote locales of the country I was able to listen to pretty much whatever I wanted. So there I was, in Canyonlands National Park, far far away from the only civilization in Moab, when a hilarious comedian by the name of Amy Schumer came on the air. She was funny. She was hilarious. She made my trip all that much enjoyable. And I took a note in my...
