Kristen Welker Achieves The Seemingly Impossible Of Keeping Order At Final Debate
Source: The Washington Post / Getty Black girl magic was in full effect at the 2020 Presidential Debate after moderator Kristen Welker achieved the seemingly impossible task of maintaining order. On Thursday (Oct. 22), the nation tuned in hesitantly and unsure of what to expect of the second and final 2020 Presidential Debate after Donald Trump‘s embarrassing and abysmal performance and the first debate last month. In a high-stakes debut overseeing a presidential debate where Joe Biden and Trump faced off of for the final time before the election — taking charge of a candidate matchup that proved a bucking bronco for the previous moderator, Chris Wallace of Fox News — Ms. Welker, an NBC anchor, and correspondent, managed to restore order to a quadrennial institution that some believed coul...
Borat’s Daughter Infiltrated the White House Thanks to OAN
Borat pranked every corner of Donald Trump’s regime in his new subsequent moviefilm, including capturing Rudy Giuliani red handed during “innocent sexy-time.” Now, he’s shared a new viral video in which his “15-year-old daughter” infiltrates the White House thanks to a vapid OAN reporter. “Trump very careful who he let into his events and house,” Borat tweeted when sharing the video. “No Covid test necessary — High 5!” In the clip, which does not appear in the film, Borat’s “daughter” Tutar (played by 24-year-old Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova) pretends to job-shadow OAN White House correspondent Chanel Rion as she guides her through the White House. The date listed is September 20th, which was mere days before Trump tested positive for COVID-19. At one point, Tutar appears in ...

Barack Obama Slams President Trump During Campaign Speech For Joe Biden
Source: Michael M. Santiago / Getty The presence of President Barack Obama is sorely missed by many, considering the leadership helming the White House at the moment. President 44 hit the campaign trail for his former vice president Joe Biden and slammed President Donald Trump by pointing to his poor record of handling the coronavirus pandemic and more. Speaking during a drive-in rally in Philadelphia, properly observing social distancing guidelines like many aren’t on the other side, Obama made several direct jabs at Trump which isn’t typically his style. Going on the offensive but using facts to form his missives, the speech received favorable responses considering the format and what’s ultimately at stake. “I’ve sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president. ...

President Trump Storms Out Of ’60 Minutes’ Interview, Blasts Journalist On Twitter
Source: Array / WENN During a taping of a joint interview with Vice President Mike Pence for CBS’s 60 Minutes, President Donald Trump reportedly cut things short due to a line of questions about the coronavirus. Trump then took to Twitter and jabbed at journalist Lesley Stahl while deeming the interview “fake” and “biased.” According to a report from CNN, sources tell the network that Trump was grilled on his handling of the coronavirus epidemic among other concerns. Around 45 minutes in, Trump ended the discussion saying that the network had enough footage and soon after began tweeting missives in the direction of Stahl, including one tweet featuring a video of Stahl not wearing a mask. “Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes not wearing a mask in the White House after her interview with me.

Kanye West’s Poll Numbers, Much Like His Grammy, Are in the Toilet
The American public has been hoodwinked into electing some absolutely terrible human beings to the highest levels of office. But credit where credit is due: at least we’re not dumb enough to vote for Kanye West for president. Despite pouring in millions of dollars of his own money, Kanye West’s 2020 presidential campaign remains remarkably unpopular. A poll released by Reuters/IPSOS on October 17th has Kanye receiving just 2% of the vote nationally — which, in his defense, is 2% more than he was polling at two weeks prior. On a statewide level, Kanye isn’t doing much better. The Trump campaign had hoped Kanye would siphon off votes from Joe Biden in crucial swing states, but the rapper is polling at 1% in both Wisconsin and Michigan, and 0% (!) in North Carolina. And in a further sign...
