BREAKING: Trump Fires Comey Clouseau
BREAKING: Trump Fires Comey Closeau. Looks like Comey Clouseau’s gambit to keep his job by investigating this phantom Russian collusion/hacking -while ignoring surveillance abuses from the O Duce White House- has not panned out. Expect the tin foil left to come up with some theory about why Trump “really” fired him while maintaining the exact opposite tin foil theory in regards to Comey ruining HRC’s chances at being president. On that note there is one very important thing to mention and since we might not be able to mention it again we are going to mention it now: Comey Clouseau didn’t keep Hillary out of the White House, Comey Clouseau kept Hillary out of jail.
Yates: I told White House Flynn could be vulnerable to blackmail
Yates: I told White House Flynn could be vulnerable to blackmail. If Gates is this worried about Flynn and a telephone call we can hardly imagine how worried she must be about Hillary Clinton and the 30,000 emails Russia could blackmail her with.

ACLU lawyer has real bad day in court. Omar Jadwat, at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, was trying to attack the president’s executive order limiting travel, but for the first time he was talking to judges who didn’t get their law degrees from the back of a Cheerio box. Omar did not fare well.

Feds in Florida: Burlington College Probe Goes the Distance
Feds in Florida: Burlington College Probe Goes the Distance. Why did Bernito Sanders do an about face and throw his support behind the Wall-street Candidate that rigged the election against him? Perhaps he was hoping President Hillary would be willing to pull a Loretta Lynch style cover up for his wife.

Happy Cinco de Mayo
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Actually we don’t really know when Cinco de Mayo is because using the Gregorian Calendar would be cultural appropriation.
Comey: Wikileaks Is ‘Intelligence Porn,’ Not ‘Legitimate’ News
Comey: Wikileaks Is ‘Intelligence Porn,’ Not ‘Legitimate’ News. It is not Comey Clouseau’s job to define for us what is and what is not the news. It is Comey Clouseau’s job to investigate, with an eye to stopping, criminal activity. Thanks to Wikileaks we all know that he failed at this job. It seems very likely that is the real reason he does not want us paying attention to them.
Seth Meyers: ‘Republicans Are Lying Through Their Teeth’ About Health Care Bill “
Seth Meyers: ‘Republicans Are Lying Through Their Teeth’ About Health Care Bill “Everything that Paul Ryan claimed to hate about the Obamacare process in 2009, he’s doing now.” And everything Seth Meyers hates about what Paul Ryan is doing now he did not hate about Nancy Pelosi doing in 2010. On the bright side Seth Meyer’s odious lack of self-awareness about his hypocrisy on the subject of hypocrites is far more hilarious than any monologue he’s ever delivered.

Bill Nye erases gender chromosomes
Bill Nye erases chromosomes. In 1996 while making his Bill Nye the Science Guy show, he explained how gender is determined by the X and Y chromosomes. But that’s politically incorrect now. We’re supposed to believe gender is determined by how we feel. So Netflix, where his new show Bill Nye Saves the World resides, erased the chromosome information before uploading that 1996 episode.

Black conservative columnist suspended by St Louis Post Dispatch

Black conservative columnist suspended by St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Stacy Washington’s crime was defending the NRA from a guest columnist’s comparison of the gun-rights organization to ISIS. “When has a member of the NRA ever decapitated, set on fire, tossed from a rooftop or otherwise terrorized another American?” she asked in her response column, and apparently the rag she worked for didn’t have a good answer.

The classy sophisticated humor of Stephen Colbert

The classy sophisticated humor of Stephen Colbert:
“Mr. President, I love your presidency, I call it ‘Disgrace The Nation.’”

“In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.”
