Yesterday started with Trump reminding everyone that Lincoln was a republican and ended with the another major Trump connection to Russia.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg because yesterday was so batshit crazy. While everyone was talking about Trump's go-nowhere wiretapping claim that we're still wasting our time with, another major Russia story burst, with evidence indicating that the former Trump campaign chair has been working to aide Putin since 2006. These guys can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar.
Ew, boy. This is a lot. I'd watch the video and get a little sugar with that medicine.

Yesterday was fun, right? The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the FBI admitted that the president of the United States was under investigation for colluding with a foreign power. Spring has sprung.
Now, this is a complex issue, and who knows what will come of it. After all, it's not ever day that a White House official admits that they've been secretly meeting with Russian ambassadors and lying about it. Well, unless it's this White House. Thankfully, Seth Meyers has been doing a great job of unpacking this whole mess and does it with jokes.
Laughter, it's all we have left.
Pretty shitty week for that reality-TV gameshow host who's really struggling to be president right now. His travel ban was blocked because his cronies couldn't stop bragging about how racist it was, his wiretapping claim is bunk, and his budget plan is putting a halt to those pesky Meals on Wheels senior. Wow, pretty dumb stuff to have read or write about the leader of the free world.
Anyway, Seth Meyers is getting us through it because Seth funny. Funny is good. Cutting PBS bad.
Donald Trump lies all the time. He was practically elected to lie all the time. Sean Spicer is in danger of breaking a finger from air quoting the president's words all the time. Someone help this man and his poor finger.
Thankfully, detective Seth Meyers, private eye, took the time to pour over the news, write a few jokes, and get to the bottom of this mess that will soon be our lives. Watch him take on his bullshit healthcare bill, jobs report, and wiretapping claims, finally making Trump funny again... as oppose to just terrifying.
Spend enough time mulling over a particularly outlandish, allegedly 'realistic' porn scene and you're bound to fully digest the ridiculousness of whatever raunchy, oiled-down, sex-soaked caricature that just tried to put on a pose like it could actually happen to, well, anyone in this lifetime. These 16 ironic, snarky, and witty comments do a wonderful job at accomplishing such a thing.
She came here to chew gum and kick ass, and she's, well, gonna do both.
On SNL last week, Melissa McCarthy went full ham on the gum chewin', dippin' dottin' White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. While he was a pretty good sport about it, Trump was not. He didn't like his man Spice being played by lady. Sad!
So what did she do, McCarthy came back for another round of questions, and she brought with her a big stick of gum and a motorized podium. A message to that reality-TV gameshow host who spent the weekend playing golf, hire this woman. She's strong like bull.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has a lot of battles to fight — Dippin' Dots, Daft Punk, all that gum. So why not give him a little reprieve and let someone else take over?
Has the president considered comedian Melissa McCarthy? Her audition on this week's SNL was certainly memorable, especially when she picked up the podium and attacked the Fake News with it.
Hire her. Now.

President Barack Obama is on his goodbye tour, making farewell addresses over his final two weeks in office. But what's he really saying?
On The Daily Show with Trevor Noah the other night, Keegan Michael Key dropped into translate, introducing the final "Obama Translator" sketch, which they dusted off from their old sketch show Key & Peel.
Say goodbye in anger with the final "Obama Translator."

Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith is the movie your annoying friend points to when you mention how much you didn’t like the prequels. They say this despite this scene:

But finally, someone actually fixed Episode III, so that it’s watchable. You may remember about ten years ago, when the movie hit DVD, people were sharing a clip of the movie overdubbed in Mandarin with the English subtitles on, resulting in this in the Do Not Want meme.
Well, a YouTuber has decided to go back and overdub the whole movie with those subtitles, resulting in the official way we all have to watch Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, or how it will forever be known Star War The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West.

From “the Closet Summit” to “Birdie Sanders,” the 2016 election was the never-ending nightmare that seems like it never ended. But it’s still worth a closer look, especially when Marco Rubio made allegations about not being able to trust people with small hands (among other things about small hands — man, 2016 really was awful).
Anyway, Seth Meyers recapped it all in his “Closer Look” segment. 12 months of horror in eight minutes of comedy. There are all those great things you forgot about, especially this:

Maybe it wasn’t all bad. Wait, yes, it was.
Billy on the Street is out here taking this running series to new heights! Loved this one.
Metallica’s done a lot of brilliant things in their career. They have made or been involved with at least four perfect works of art. Their first three albums and the documentary Some Kind of Monster are cultural touchstones that will be looked to and enjoyed for generations.
They’ve also done some things that have not been so great. In 1999, they led the charge against mp3-sharing platform Napster, which alienated some fans — and got some us kicked off the site, not that we’re holding any grudges. They also released St. Anger, which come on.
Jimmy Fallon loves to play games and have fun. He likes to make politicians wear funny pants and give noogies to a reality gameshow host turned most powerful person on the planet. It’s his thing.
And now there’s this, a video of Metallica performing “Enter Sandman” with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on classroom instruments. Only time will tell if this falls into their works of cultural touchstones or cultural blunders. But honestly, it’ll probably just be a cute thing that makes a lot of people smile for three minutes. Enjoy!
