Even for a tremendous leader like Trump, accepting refugees, particularly those from the Middle East, is asking a bit too much.

The answer to what Trump would do in regards to Syria, given his newfound awareness of its turmoil, came sooner than expected. Less than an hour after having dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago, the official presidential playground, Trump ensured that airstrikes were carried out against al Shayrat…

I didn't know that he threatened to quit, though it's not surprising, given his temperament. The mega-donor was probably one of the Mercers. They adore Bannon, at least the father does.

The many wheels and gears that make up the Trump administration delivered a monkey wrench today with the ouster of Steve Bannon from the National Security Council. While no one’s taking credit just yet, many indications point to National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, the man who replaced Michael Flynn, as the one…

I can only imagine what unholy eldritch powers Bobby Flay has.

I just want to know if this will finally be the film where he rubs another man's rhubarb.

Carter Page, best known for being a former advisor to Trump’s presidential campaign, said earlier today that any information he gave to a known Russian spy in a past encounter was “immaterial.” The event in question occurred in 2013, when Page met with Victor Podobnyy, a Russian intelligence official whom the U.S.…

Somebody get James Franco on this.

The Trump administration, bogged down as it is by scandal and incompetence, can point to two recent achievements. The first was halting all U.S. grants to the United Nations Population Fund, an international humanitarian aid organization that, among other things, provides reproductive health care and works to end…

I hear the falafel industry is booming though.

Have you ever begged for an intermission? You will.

Look on the bright side though. That gum you like is going to come back in style.
