Meet Comedy Central’s New Trump-Bashing Comic

Jim Jefferies will soon bring his liberal humor to the late night scene. It begs the question ... why? Comedy Central is your one-stop shop for Republican-bashing humor.

Nate Silver, editor-and-chief of fivethirtyeight.com, a polling analysis and prediction website, had a rough Election Night, as his final odds favoring a Hillary Clinton victory were wrecked by reality.
