Bill Burr Jokes That Women Running Against Trump Should Ditch the Pantsuit and ‘Whore It Up a Little’ in Fiery ‘SNL’ Monologue

Politics tamfitronics Hosting the post-election episode of “Saturday Night Live,” Bill Burr opened his monologue with a laugh: “Nice to be here on such a fun week. I don’t want to hear it.

Politics tamfitronics With two weeks left of one of the most lopsided parliaments in Western Australia's history, the wheels appear to be falling off the opposition alliance.Infighting between the unhappily married WA Liberal and Nationals parties is nothing new.But as shots were fired over gun laws this week, some opposition MPs were scratching and shaking their heads, wondering why they were pointing fingers at each other, rather than at Labor.What's the issue?It all centres around the state Labor government's firearm laws, which make it harder to get licences, including by requiring stronger evidence of why guns are needed.The Nationals have always outright opposed the laws, while Liberal MPs have been more split, with some voting in favour, others opposed, and some abstaining from a vote.The Nationals are opposed to the proposed gun laws given their...
