Conan O’Brien warned comedians giving in to their anger at President Donald Trump that they are being “co-opted” and not making much of a difference. In a conversation with Oxford Union on Tuesday, O’Brien noted he often hears people say how “great” Trump must be for comedians. The one-time Tonight Show host argued the opposite, saying “talking crazy” is part of Trump’s brand and it makes it difficult to structure satire around it. O’Brien cited Trump’s construction of a White House ballroom as something sketch comedy writers would likely come up with to mock Trump — except it’s reality. “Comedy...

Under the new map, Republicans could net as many as five additional House seats, reflecting...

Since I know you ain't gonna read all this, this is the summary: F- YOU and your "ACKSHUALLY..." gag reflex. Too bad your squirrel mind...

In a blistering video, former Fox News contributor and Newsmax TV host Dennis Michael Lynch didn’t hold back, issuing a stark ultimatum to the Trump administration.Lynch’s outrage stems from the massive Somali-led fraud scandals in Minnesota, which have exposed billions in stolen taxpayer dollars under Democrat Gov.
