Samantha Bee Apologized Again For Using The Word C*unt As An Insult
When Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a cunt, she did it at the worst possible time. Had she not said it on the heels of the Roseanne shitstorm, it’s quite possible nobody would have even noticed. But she said it when she said it, and the fecal hurricane reversed course and threatened to blow the roof off of Samantha’s house. Samantha issued an apology during her acceptance speech for a Television Academy Honors award she won for Full Frontal. And last night, Samantha issued a second, more pointed apology.
Kim Kardashian Will Visit The White House Today To Discuss Prison Reform With Jared Kushner
Kim Kardashian has set aside her Twitter feud with the charity Kanye West established to go to the White House to meet with Jared Kushner to discuss prison reform. This is according to Vanity Fair which shares the same water supply as you and me. Look, I’d never done acid before Donald Trump was elected president, and I don’t really appreciate his covert initiative of forced national dosing. It makes me very disoriented and confused. If and when I decide to trip balls Ken Kesey-style, I’ll do it on my own terms, thankyouverymuch. But since group LSD hysteria is the only explanation for #thesetyringtimes and for Kim Kardashian visiting the White House to talk prison reform, Imma try to just go with it.
Disney Got Dark With A “Dead Inside” Pinocchio Tweet
Apparently, the terminally upbeat folks at Disney aren’t immune to lure of the dark, gaping chasm of despair that is the hallmark of #thesetryingtimes. Leave it to 2018 to harsh Mickey’s buzz so hard he starts posting dank memes about being dead inside.
Matt Damon Might Be Moving His Family To Australia Because Of Trump
As Billy Ocean so eloquently reminds us, when the going gets tough, the tough get on a plane headed to the farthest possible destination. Page Six claims that that’s just what Matt Damon might be doing in #thesetryingtimes; getting the hell out of Dodge and moving his family to Australia. Apparently, Matt’s just bought some property next door to Thor (earth name: Chris Hemsworth) in Byron Bay, New South Wales in order to get some distance between him and the super villain Trump The Terrible.
Keaton Jones’ Mom Does Damage Control After Anti-Racist Backlash
If there’s one story that encapsulates #thesetryingtimes in America right now, it’s the Keaton Jones saga. Over a 24 hour period, we went from “ah, no poor kid” to “lock her up” and I doubt we’ve yet to hear the last word on this story.
You’ll recall that yesterday everybody was talking about a video of young Keaton making an impassioned plea to end bullying, which his mom Kimberly Jones posted it to Twitter, supposedly at his request. Finally, an apolitical unifying cause we can all rally around to make ourselves feel better! Many celebrities picked up the thread and began retweeting Keaton’s video and offering to fly him out to various movie premieres. At this point, I started getting a no-good feeling in my gut because none of it made sense. That’s when the GoFundme campaigns started and the confederate flag reared its ugly head. Because, oh yeah it’s America and we can’t have nice things. Stupid, stupid, stupid (hits self in noggin repeatedly)!!
