I don’t want to jinx anything, but we are currently residing in a moment when Donald Trump is living a nightmare and Hillary Clinton is thriving. The year of Lord & Savior 2019 at its best.
The impeachment process is poppin’ off, and HRC is wasting no time in terms of joining in on the fun. She’s had some iconic tweets about the matter, and even made some fun n’ flirty TV appearances while she promotes her new book written with daughter Chelsea Gutsy Women. Here are five legendary ways Hill has made herself queen of the impeachment so far.
1. This Reply Tweet to Kamala Harris
Two queens, one tweet thread. HRC knows a good call back opportunity when she sees one, and we love that for her. Get ’em!
But my emails. (Thank you.)

2. This No Bullsh*t Tweet About Trump’s Corruption
The ‘again’ here is absolutely savage. Trump beat her unfairly through corruption, and now he’s planning to do it again with his next opponent. Hillary knows it, we know it, but for some reason my uncle Bobby does not know it. Maybe I can show him this tweet to help…
The president asked a foreign power to help him win an election.
Again.https://t.co/EjkE84oCCF

3. This Interview With Stephen Colbert
If you have 10 minutes to spare, I highly recommend watching this interview of Hillary and Chelsea Clinton on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. HRC really let her long bob down and is lol’ing loudly pretty much the entire time. It’s adorable. She throws out a lot of shade, but the best is when she’s talking about word-vomit enthusiast Rudy Giuliani and says, “As we’ve seen on television, carefully thinking through things is not one of Rudy’s strong points.” Hope Rudy carries Neosporin on him because he’s going to need some for that BURN.

4. This Perfect Tweet
No notes. That’s it. That’s the tweet.
The president is a corrupt human tornado.

5. This Exchange With Ashley Nicole Black
I never knew seeing Hillary Clinton talk about ‘text threads with girlfriends’ would bring tears to my eyes, but here we are. Thank you to Queen Ashley Nicole Black for bringing this beauty into my life. G bless.
In times like these, you can never have enough text threads with girlfriends…

Ladies, it is time to don our traditional mourning smokey eye. The White House Correspondents Association will no longer let a comedian host their annual dinner or roast the president. Oliver Knox, the president of the WHCA, announced this terrible decision on Monday. Now I have to rethink what I’m thankful for because I can no longer say “seeing the president and his cronies get roasted by a comedian while the press politely claps.” That was the one functioning part of our democracy, in my opinion.
This is obviously in response to all the backlash from Michelle Wolf’s incredible hosting last year where she called Sarah Sanders “Aunt Lydia”. This year, instead of a comedian, author Ron Chernow will host and idk who that is nor do I feel like googling him. If he doesn’t have an upcoming Netflix special, I’m not really interested.
In memoriam of when it was cool to make fun of the president, here are some highlights of great WHCA dinners of the past.
Michelle Wolf
Obviously we being with the speech to ends all speeches: Michelle Wolf and “smokey-eye” gate. If you watch this clip and want more of Michelle, you can listen to our podcast interview with her here.
Stephen Colbert
If you thought Michelle Wolf’s speech was the most controversial thing that’s ever happened at the WCHD, I will kindly direct you to this 2006 clip of Stephen Colbert roasting George W. Bush with Bush sitting RIGHT F*CKING THERE.
Seth Meyers
Here’s a clip from the last time the White House Correspondents’ Dinner worked as it should. #TBT.
Barack Obama
Aaaand finally, remember when the president actually participated in the WHCD and roasted the media? I’m not sure if we should be sad to see this tradition die, or happy that we don’t have to find out what Trump’s idea of a comedy routine would be.
So without a comedian hosting do we think Trump will actually attend this year unlike the last two years? Unless they get Tucker Carlson roasting Elizabeth Warren I highly doubt it.
