“The election is now just 25 days away, and Donald Trump is very clearly planning to run the same playbook from last time,” Chris Hayes warned at the start of his MSNBC show on Friday. “We are watching a slow motion insurrection.” “These final weeks of the campaign, Trump and his allies are laying all the groundwork, getting ready to reject the free and fair result of this election if he does not win. That’s plain as day. We all know it right?” He continued. “Today, JD Vance said he would help his running mate in another coup attempt, after…

Jimmy Kimmel had an interesting theory about some of Donald Trump’s recent, weird campaign decisions. It seems that lately, Trump is spending a lot more time campaigning in places that aren’t essential to winning than he is in swing states, and the ABC host thinks it might be because he’s King Midas, but in reverse. “Deep down, he knows the only way to reverse this curse is to lose the election,” Kimmel said, adding, “let’s help this poor man do that.” Trump, Kimmel said during his monologue on Thursday, has “a few interesting tour dates on the calendar. Instead of…

Jimmy Kimmel leaped to an obvious conclusion during his monologue on Tuesday about the reveal that Donald Trump has maintained secret communications with Vladimir Putin: That they’re sexting. The joke came in the context of a new book by Bob Woodward, which reveals a longstanding secret relationship defined by cronyism and some honestly shocking corruption — including how during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when Trump sent U.S.-made COVID-19 testing devices to Putin as a gift at a time when there was a shortage. “There’s another new tell-all book on the way from legendary journalist Bob Woodward. Trump as…

Count Jimmy Kimmel among the many people casting sidelong glances at Elon Musk’s weird appearance at a Trump Rally over the weekend. After dismissing the pair of newfound political allies as “Twitterdee and Twitterdum,” he declared that seeing them together was a rare glimpse of ” two devils making a deal with each other.” “Gordon Scamsey,” Kimmel said, referring to Trump, “was joined on stage in Pennsylvania by none other than Elon Musk. And say what you like about Elon, the man is absolutely dripping with charisma.” At that, Kimmel ran a clip demonstrating the exact opposite when Elon Musk…

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes took a lengthy look at just a sample of the “outright, brazen, dangerous, ludicrous lies” told by Donald Trump and myriad other Republicans, some of which are causing actual problems for people represented by Republicans. Hayes reminded viewers that in 2020, lies like these “brought an armed angry mob to our nation’s capital,” concluding ruefully that “if left unabated, I fear it is going to get people hurt again.” You can watch the entire segment below: For those who can’t watch, Hayes began by mentioning the danger misinformation poses to the country during this election, arguing that…

Jimmy Kimmel was confused Thursday during his “Jimmy Kimmel Live” monologue about the fact that the election, according to polls, is as close as it is. In his opinion, the choice isn’t difficult at all. “We have two major candidates for president. One wants to take away your healthcare, already took away reproductive rights, was found guilty of 34 felonies, with more to come, was impeached twice, and openly tried to overturn the election,” the ABC host said, referring, obviously, to Donald Trump. “The other candidate isn’t the first candidate,” he added. “And that’s kind of all you need to…

On Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel had some simple advice for Donald Trump and JD Vance on how they can get people to stop fact-checking them during debates and interviews: “If you include some facts in your sentences when you speak, there’ll be nothing to check.” The advice came at the end of a lengthy segment of his monologue that started with a discussion of the VP debate on Tuesday night. “Unlike the last debate – there was no clear winner,” Kimmel said. “JD Vance managed to present himself as polite, polished, even had some jokes. He. like when he said that…

“The Circle” Season 7’s top contestants delivered their final votes in the Netflix competition show’s season finale Wednesday. It was an action-packed season, with the game’s new “disruptor mode” causing chaos — and finalist Madelyn putting herself in the record books as one of the series’ biggest villains yet. She left her competition stunned when they discovered how frequently she fully fabricated lies to take out other players and protect herself. But while she made it to the top five — alongside “Gianna,” Kevin, “Rachel” and “Tierra” — she failed to take home the top prize. The winners: twin brother…
