Eminem got 90,000 people to chant "Fuck Trump" at a concert over the weekend
Source: Detroit Metro Times
Slim Shady's smear campaign of the president started this past Thursday night when he played a show in Glasgow, Scotland while sporting a "Fack Trump: shirt on stage. Inbetween songs Eminem addressed the crowd. “Scotland, you might have to be our new home because right now shit ain’t going so well in the States,” he said. “I just wanna take this moment out right now and say motherfuck Donald Trump.”
And just a few days later at the Reading Festival, Eminem headlined the main stage where 90,000 fans gathered for his show. Eminem took the opportunity to get all of the people to go along with a "Fuck Trump!" chant. “I don’t want to cause any controversy so I won’t say no names but this motherfucker, Donald Trump, I can’t stand,” he cried out, “So before we get into this next song, we would like to request something of you. When I say ‘Fuck,’ you say ‘Trump’.”

What Did These Children Thank Ivanka Trump for?
Source: The Mary Sue
Yesterday night, Ivanka “Seriously, what is her job?” Trump shared an image of her smiling next to a pile of thank you cards. She tweeted that reading the cards, full of hearts and “Thank you Ms. Ivanka Trump”s, was “one of the highlights of my week.”
It seems the only way to get the attention of the White House these days is in the form of a brand/propaganda-friendly praise from children. Forget the United Nations statement y’all, just scribble your manifesto and “Denounce white supЯemacy” in crayon with a heart over the “i” to get their attention.
The internet, however, was a bit skeptical. Because, well, what are they thanking her for? All the cards were extremely vague, which led to the internet poking some fun at the tweet.
So what do you think the letters were thanking Ivanka for? Being an adviser that “tries to “stay out of politics“? For her inspiring fashion sense that comes at the expense of sweatshop labor? Maybe it’s for her champagne popsicle recipes or her ability to misquote Toni Morrison? No, likely it’s her ability to brand herself as a moderating influence on her father, because she’s such a good influence on him y’all.

The American Horror Story: Cult Trailer Shows the Horrifying Aftermath of Election Night From Both..
Source: Slate
On the other, there’s Kai (Evan Peters), who lets out a triumphant roar and begins humping the television.
Following many enigmatic, clown-filled teasers, this trailer finally shows how the election will influence American Horror Story’s seventh season, as Ryan Murphy promised it would months ago. Is Kai excited because he's a big fan of Trump’s anti-establishment rhetoric? Or is it because the election means that the country will be awash in Trump-induced anxiety, as we see with Ally’s visit to her therapist (Cheyenne Jackson) in the trailer? Considering that Kai runs some kind of cult that feeds on fear, it’s probably the latter. “If you get people scared enough, it will set the world on fire,” he says. No kidding.

Camp David again? Hmmm...

Poll: McConnell the country's least popular politician
Source: The Hill
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has the lowest favorability rating of any elected official with a national profile, according to a new Harvard-Harris poll provided exclusively to The Hill.
McConnell scores just a 19 percent favorable rating in the national poll, worse than President Trump and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
Forty-nine percent of voters polled have a negative view of the Senate leader. The rest of those polled didn’t know McConnell, or didn’t know enough to have an opinion.
McConnell, who is not up for reelection until 2022, only has an 18 percent job approval rating in Kentucky according to a poll released this week by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling.
