Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

President Conspiracy gave an unhinged address last night, claiming the 2020 election was tampered with (it was not). Look, this is very bad. He’s doing a couple of things here: trying to make Americans lose faith in our election processes and discouraging them from voting in the midterms, but also setting up an excuse to try to overturn results he does not like. As for the “facts” that he presented, they were laughable; ultimately, just a made-up balm to soothe his festering narcissistic injury of having lost the election.

Here’s what we do: VOTE. Vote in November in such numbers that his goons can’t overturn shit. Be sure to check your registration, now and closer to the election, lest they pull some shenanigans with the rolls. If you can, be sure to vote early. And if you can vote in person rather than by mail, do so because those mail-in ballots are going to be the first ones they challenge. The next few months are going to be fucking exhausting; prepare yourselves.

ABC, NBC, and CNN chose to not air the address last night. That said, the ABC and NBC stations owned by Sinclair did preempt programming to air it. These were the same assholes behind the Jimmy Kimmel fiasco.

CBS, which is so far up his asshole now, obviously did, and failed to push back on his lies.

President Crybaby is obviously screaming for ABC and NBC to lose their broadcasting licenses because they refused to air his incoherent lies.

And reportedly, the FCC is about to strip The View of its “bona fide” news designation, forcing it to give “equal time” to politicians.

A White House teleprompter operator has been making some big money by placing bets on President Dingus’ speeches. Can we just go ahead and make these betting markets illegal already?

The World Cup comes to an end this weekend as Spain plays Argentina, so relive the most heartwarming moments of the past month. Two people this list is missing: Keyne Yamal, the three-year-old brother of Spain star Lamine Yamal, who became a superstar; and Erling Haaland, the brilliant player from Norway who was also a weird little (big) guy, and his taxidermied raccoon. But for me, the story of this World Cup will always be Cape Verde and their miraculous World Cup run.

The Hollywood Reporter breaks down the winners and losers from this World Cup, and somehow managed to leave out the Scots?

There’s going to be a halftime show during Sunday’s final game, featuring Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira, and BTS. Somehow it’s only going to be 11 minutes long, but we’ll see.

Alan Cumming is anti-Paramount/Warner Bros. merger, to no one’s surprise.

The great Dale Dickey talks about her surprising — but well-earned — Emmy nomination for Widow’s Bay, and she’s exactly who you think she is.

Netflix is considering inventing TV channels.

Netflix thinks y’all are too nosy and don’t need to know so much about their business.

A child of a Real Housewives of Orange County cast member is trying to burn down California, and that is not a metaphor. 

I’m sorry, I don’t watch this show, but what the hell is going on over at Big Brother?

A right-wing asshole doxxed comedian Laura Benanti over her amazing Melania impersonation on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, forcing her to quit doing it altogether. 

I don’t support bullying … in most instances. But bullying George Santos gets a pass.

Oh no, get better, Grocery Store Joe!
