When Bleeding Cool reported last month that former WWE CEO Linda McMahon was being considered for a position in President Elect Donald Trump's cabinet, even we only half-heartedly believed it could be true However, while it looks like a spot as Commerce Secretary, as originally rumored, is no longer on the table, Politico reports that McMahon is under[...]

Here's the three funniest sketches from this past weekend's show, hosted by Kristen Wiig (it was three fourths of a Ghostbusters: Answer The Call reunion!) as[...]

A big story in comic news over the last week or so has been Humberto Ramos and George Perez announcing that they won't be doing conventions in states that vote for Donald Trump Now I follow the old adage of, "Never talk religion or politics."

If you're planning to unleash hatred or bigotry at your local comic convention, you'd better check that Mark Waid isn't on the guest list first, lest you have a table flipped on you.

In the wake of the shocking results of last week's U.S. Presidential election, Bleeding Cool knows what our readers want - no, need - to hear:

And if our next President were here tonight, he'd want to grab you by the…" Those comments may not have stopped Donald Trump from winning the presidency, but they're wreaking absolute havoc on Joey Styles' career.

UK tabloid The Daily Star, known for being such shameless rumormongers that even Rich Johnston is like, "damn, that's some shameless rumormongering," are mongering a new rumor that Linda McMahon, former CEO of WWE, and one of the company's primary owners along with husband and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, is up for a position in President Elect Donald[...]

Following the election victory of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, Breitweiser made the following tweet, congratulating Trump on the win and wishing him success: https://twitter.com/mbreitweiser/status/796242182453731328 The reaction was probably not what he expected: at least I know who to unfollow — Christian Ward (@cjwardart) November 9, 2016 dismal — Dan McDaid!

Twitter user NidtheDragon[...]
