#EndorseThis: Hunt Says Lamb Win May Change Capitol Hill…While Kornacki Charms America

Keystone State Democrats deserve high praise for a closely fought victory in Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District, where Conor Lamb holds a slight lead over Republican candidate Rick Saccone.

Lamb may be a hero, but he wasn’t the viral superstar of Tuesday night’s election. That honor goes to Steve Kornacki, MSNBC’s manic maestro of the moment whose rapid vote-tallying and hilarious multi-tasking remind some social media users of SpongeBob.

Watch for Kornacki’s Mr. Bean move, when he nervously sashays off-camera before returning to point at a monitor like Pharaoh banishing Moses in The Ten Commandments.

#EndorseThis: Trevor Noah Pans Trump As The Dotard God Smiled On Over North Korea

Trevor Noah has left his religious views ambiguous in memoirs written to-date. But we can speculate that if Noah has an image of God, it’s a vision of a tolerant and peaceful spirit. The comic may also believe, firmly, that God has a sense of humor.

The Daily Show‘s satirical genius starts slowly as usual in today’s clip, needling President Trump for giving a special-election endorsement speech in Pennsylvania that was really just a celebration of himself. But Noah hits a hilarious sweet spot upon turning to Trump and North Korea.

In a cosmic joke, President Shithole has bumbled into a situation where his naivety could somehow save the planet from Kim Jong-un. If the meeting of authoritarian demagogues from DPRK and D.C. actually achieves peace, would atheists be forced to convert, having seen the miraculous hand of God at work? Let’s face it…there may not be another good explanation.

Don’t worry about the Trump-Kim meeting having any permanent impact on foreign affairs, though. As Noah points out at 6:00, the leader of the free world will forget to bring a writing utensil.
