   Trump getting the White House Correspondents Association to fire Amber Ruffin should end NerdProm.

   They told her to target both sides, but she told the Daily Beast podcast that the administration is “kind of a bunch of murderers” and both sidesing “makes them feel like human beings, but they shouldn’t get to feel that way, cause they’re not." And that got her fired from the gig.

     @kbeninato Amber Ruffin is a national treasure, and the WHCA jumping after Trump is a national disgrace.

     Tonight's "Have I got News for You" was probably taped before the firing but I'm going to wonder as I'm watching. Maybe on Monday Seth Meyers will feature "Jokes Amber Can't Tell."
