These twitter jokes are funny, and I'm really enjoying SNL and Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah, Bill Maher, Samantha Bee and Stephen Colbert as well.

Would you mind sharing the link you have to the advance screeners for this show?

Aw, come on.

Seeing Conway on TV actually urging people to "go buy Ivanka's stuff" genuinely made my jaw drop.

I love these boycotts for things you were never going to get your hands on anyway.

Yeah, you're probably right, that makes a lot more sense.
Poor Jughead, that's kind of a sad thing to feel when you're hanging out with friends.

Jughead can't be dead, right? Was that what they were playing at by having him say "there were really only three people in that booth" in the narration at the end?

I see what you mean, but I read it more as a sort of desperation- "Please, tell me you like me?!" And then when he told her he had no reason to keep quiet if her feelings weren't real, she decided to lie to him and tell him they actually were, in order to save her hide.

I like Cole Sprouse a lot on this show.
Jughead is my favorite character by far. Maybe it's because I was a bit of an outsider in high school as well?
I'm also glad he had the sense to point out what a terrible predatory creep miss Grundy is. I hope she goes to jail at some point.

That's true. I suppose that's the best case scenario.
The alternative would be another minority cabinet, which I don't think would be a good thing for anyone.

Wilders' party is currently either the largest or second largest in most major polls, continuously trading places with the VVD, the more mainstream right-leaning party lead by our current Prime Minister, Rutte.
However, Rutte put out a statement last week that he completely rules out the possibility of forming a

That would be nice.

I suppose it is.
It really makes you wonder whether all bets are just off, now. It sort of feels as though Trump's victory altered political reality not just in the U.S., but worldwide. If he can win, then why can't just about anyone?

I recently read an interesting article on this by French sociologist Ali Saad.
It concludes that a Le Pen victory is unlikely, due in large part to the two-round election process in France, as well as the national trauma that still scars France's collective consciousness from the Vichy regime.

It really is. I mean, I suppose it makes a kind of sense that American schools would teach history with that particular slant, but it strikes me as slightly odd that schools over here would take the same approach.

I was actually just reading an article about U.S. immigration bans throughout history.
I was surprised by a lot of it: the idea of the U.S. as an immigrant-friendly melting pot permeated most of my high school history classes.
Turns out, they may have painted too idyllic a picture.

Watching this whole Trump-shaped tragedy unfold from the (relative) safety of my home country of The Netherlands, I can't help but feel incredibly disheartened.

I honestly think Norton is singularly talented at this.
I don't really believe in the concept of a "calling", but I think being a talk show host may be his.

I never got what people were so crazy about with Chuck. Yes, he's attractive, but so is everyone else on the show.
And nobody else on the show was anywhere near the level of skeevy he was.

What a class act this man is.
Not a single person who has seen the footage of Trump speaking about that reporter could reasonably believe that he wasn't mocking a man with a serious disability. Which is an awful thing to do in private, let alone at a televized campaign event.
