“Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee on Monday night staged a vigil for the recently deceased GOP.
“The death throes started Thursday morning, when the Republican establishment suddenly woke up and realized Donald Trump was doing to their brand what his asshole son does to real elephants,” Bee led off.
Bee said Mitt Romney’s G-rated roast (“Mitt-tervention”) of Donald Trump in Utah last Thursday “served as a donation, in kind, to the Trump campaign.”
“With all due respect, sir,” she continued, “the last time you tried to stand between a charismatic guy and the White House, you got beat like a Muslim girl at a Trump rally.”

“The GOP’s final death rattle came that night” at the Republican debate or, as Bee called it, Republicans’ “regular fight club meeting.”
“I don’t mean to sound sexist,” she added, responding to a montage of Trump, Little Marco, and Lyin’ Ted talking over each other at various times during the debate. “But I think men are just too emotional to be president.”

Harry Bosch lives in the hills just above the Cahuenga Pass, the perfect spot to look out over the city he protects. Michael Connelly found this very spot in 1989, where he often returns to contemplate the city and find inspiration. Connelly also had his own home above Hollywood many years ago – in the High Tower apartments, where noir character Philip Marlowe lived in Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye.
