TUNE IN: The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper explores Vladimir Putin’s influence on Russian and U.S. politics in his new comedy special, “Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Moscow’s Tools.”

Watch it next Monday, May 20 on comedycentral.

Just when I was starting to buy the distinction that people weren't using the terms interchangeably...

Kristi Noem should probably send a thank you note to Kennedy's brain worm

A humble request to my media colleagues: please stop asking non-Jews whether something is or isn't antisemitic. You wouldn't ask white people to judge what is and isn't racist. Please stop.

'For years, Putin’s strategy has been to survive until the following day. Kick the can down the road a little farther, white-knuckle it a little longer, and hope that something breaks his way in the end. So far, it always has.'

I truly hate this analogy. Alex Kliment, the son of a Holocaust survivor, explains why it's so stupid and bad.

“Ms. Daniels has said they ate dinner in his room and talked, and he asked her about the porn business. He asked her to sign one of her movie DVDs, and said she reminded him of his daughter.”

Still accepting apologies.
