A Show Devoted to Parodying the POTUS is Coming to Comedy Central in April

Posted by | Apr 4, 2017 | |

After a sad eight years of a mostly parody-free presidency, the funny has returned in the form of Trump administration-parodying late-night show “The President Show.” Comedy Central is set to premiere the Trump-mocking show on April 27, and will star creator Anthony Atamanuik, a well-known Trump impersonator.

The show will mimic the late-night TV style, and will allow Atamanuik-as-Trump to share his side of the week’s big issues.

Wade. “[B]urdens … on women...

On Tuesday morning, Senator Bernie Sanders spoke on the floor of the Senate to express his disapproval of Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court Neil Gorsuch. Ahead of a planned filibuster from Democratic members of the Senate, and a possible rule-change by the Republican faction in order to break the filibuster, Sanders made his message clear: “Rather than change the rule, change the nominee.” Sanders was just one of dozens of Democrats that fully oppose Gorsuch and refuse to hold a vote on the nominee, in part because the POTUS is under FBI investigation, in part because Republicans...

Trump Supporter Furious Border Wall Would Put Her Home on Mexico’s Side

Since the election, many in media have been eager to jump on “Trump regrets” stories, instances where a once eager Trump voter has been made to regret her vote through actions by the Trump administration. Whether it be cuts to healthcare, Meals on Wheels, or even the border wall, voters of Trump are dwindling by the day. This week, CNN spoke with a woman living on her property near the location of the U.S.-Mexico border. As it stands, if Trump’s much-hyped border wall is erected across the border between the two nations, the woman’s privately owned property would find...

It appears that things may actually be going south for Fox News host, wife-beater and sexual harasser Bill O’Reilly after more than a decade of having his news network foot the bill for his crimes. Amid a sea of scandal surrounding Fox and O’Reilly especially, three car manufacturers have pulled their planned advertising from use during “O’Reilly Factor” due to “disturbing” allegations.
