Alice Cooper Enters 2020 Presidential Race with New “Elected” Video: Watch
Every four years since Alice Cooper released the iconic single “Elected” in 1972, the rocker has “satirically” run for president. Just in the nick of time, Cooper has thrown his hat into the 2020 race, releasing an updated video for “Elected” and a ton of “Alice Cooper for President” merch. Running on the “Wild Party” ticket, Cooper’s campaign platform says it all: “I can do nothing as well as they can do nothing.” With his official website adding, “I have absolutely no idea what to do.” The new “Elected” video takes a humorous and lighthearted approach to the campaign process, which is much appreciated considering the real-life campaign has been anything but. Cooper sings the song through a loudspeaker from a podium, and the words remain as relevant as ever. Fans can show their support wi...
Yeah Right: Lindsey Graham Cops Sarcasm Pleas Over “Good Old Days Of Segregation” Comment
Source: TOM WILLIAMS / Getty Lindsey Graham and his fellow Republicans are currently on a hellbent mission to fill the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat by confirming conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett. During the confirmation hearing, Graham said something that had ears perking all over the country. Wednesday (oct.14), Graham asked Barrett if she was confident that the iconic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that determined segregation in schools was unconstitutional “super-precedent,” meaning there no chance it could be overturned unless challenged by legislative bodies because she is “not aware of any effort to go back to the good old days of segregation via legislative body.” As expected, Graham’s comment raised eyebrows, and he was immediately call...

Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading!” According to Ice Cube’s representative (Rolling Stone), the rapper was interested in meeting with both the Trump and Biden campaigns to discuss an “agenda for black Americans” and support for his Contract With Black America, which “strikes at the heart of racism and presents a blueprint to achiev...
‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Surveys Black People To See If they’re Voting For Donald Trump
Source: TIMOTHY A. CLARY / Getty Jimmy Kimmel is back on Donald Trump’s neck, this time for his outlandish declarations about Black people at the voting booths. On Monday(Oct 12), the late-night host opened his segment discussing the struggle event attended by Black people paid by Candace Owens’ Blexit organization at the White House over the weekend. During his 18-minute speech, the COVID-In-Chief boasted that he’s “done more for the Black community than any president since Abraham Lincoln.” The outlandish comment jogged Kimmel’s memory bank to four years ago when Trump promised to secure 95 percent of the Black vote by 2020. With the election weeks away, the comedian took to the streets and surveyed Black passersby if Cheeto made good on his word. As expecte...
Fake “Blacks For Trump” Accounts Using Digital Black Face Busted On Twitter
Source: Pacific Press / Getty When it comes to finding “Black Trump Supporters,” it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, but they do exist. On social media, though, it would seem they are more prevalent than believed, but it turns out they are as real as a Louis Vuitton bag on Canal Street. Wednesday (October 14), Forbes reported that Twitter has removed several accounts claiming to be Black supporters of the super-spreader-in-chief Donald Trump, claiming they violate spam and account manipulation guidelines. The accounts were using photos of real Black people, aka digital Black face, and all were pushing the same message “YES I’M BLACK AND I’M VOTING FOR TRUMP.” Darren Linvill, a Clemson University communications professor, revealed that two dozen of the accounts have been retweeted...
Kanye West Tweets Out False Kentucky Election Results, New Campaign Theme Song
The problem with West’s excited announcement is that the presidential election is still 19 days away, which is why Lex 18 News apologized a short time later for the erroneous post. “Someone discovered a cached web link that we used during June’s primary election to post Associated Press election results,” the station explained in a tweet. “The old link was still populating current AP data and showed test results, which is part of the preparation the AP does in advance of elections.” The tweet continued, “The results were not valid. The were simply part of a test. We regret the discovery of the cached web link and have removed the data from that page. We apologize for any confusion.” A Lex 18 reporter, Nancy Cox, further explained, tweeting, &...
The Simpsons Lists 50 Terrifying Reasons To Vote Against Trump: Watch
It’s hard to imagine how a Treehouse of Horror edition from this year could muster up anything scarier than what’s going on outside of Springfield. Appropriately, the next episode of The Simpsons doesn’t even bother trying to toe that line with comedic subtlety. In an exclusive Variety preview clip from the 31st (!) installment of the annual Halloween-themed Simpsons episode, Homer is presented with a frightening list of 50 reasons why Trump needs to be voted out on November 3rd. After considering writing in Judge Judy, Lisa comes to the rescue and reminds her father of all the insane bullshit that our president has served over the last four years. A literal scrolling list of political atrocities (kids in cages, gutting the E.P.A.) and cringe-worthy moments (serving McDonald’s to the ...
Tommy Lee Swears He’ll Leave US If Trump Wins: “I’ll Go Back to My Motherland”
Tommy Lee has had enough of Donald Trump, so much so that he insists he’ll leave the United States if the incumbent wins the upcoming presidential election. As to where he’d move, the Mötley Crüe drummer has his eyes on his “motherland”, otherwise known as Greece. In an interview with the British newspaper The Big Issue, the veteran rocker was asked how he’d deal with four more years of Trump. “Dude, I swear to God if that happens then I’m coming over to visit the UK — I’m out of here,” Lee responded. “I’ll go back to my motherland, go back to Greece and get a house on one of the islands.” Lee was actually born in Greece to his father, U.S. Army Sergeant David Lee Thomas Bass, and mother, Vassiliki “Voula” Papadimitriou, a pageant contestant who represented Greece in the 1960 Miss World co...
