“Who’s getting the big deals? Which shows stay on the air? You know, what do they keep repeating? That’s them saying, ‘We got this other stuff and we know there’s a few of you, but we’re throwing you a bone. So, shut up.’” www.thedailybeast.com/marc-maron-b...

I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

Trump, meanwhile, has been uncharacteristically speechless. www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-...

This episode of South Park takes a page out of Trump’s playbook by flooding the zone with so much insane shit I’m not even sure if he’s going to know how to respond to it. www.thedailybeast.com/south-park-e...
