- On the all-women panel discussing the sexism directed at Hillary Clinton—specifically the idea that a post-menopausal woman would be a better president than one not—staff writer Holly Walker bluntly states that she's having her period right now, before mocking the idea that a menstruating woman would start a war out of PMS."RRRAAAARGH! Chocolate! Salted nuts! [...] There's people bleeding in the audience right now, and we're not burning the studio down!"

Much like climate change denial, this is not based on science.
- Larry evaluates the reactions of other African-Americans to this scandal. Some, like Mike Yard, are welcoming, thinking that allowing conversions will help them stop being a minority.

- November 3rd: Larry explains about Ben Carson's enduring popularity in the polls despite not having political experience, not charismatic enough, or using Godwin's Law a lot.

- December 1st: In response to Texas textbooks are rewriting or omitting facts about American slavery, Larry reads the children's story "Goodnight, Slavery" to some children.

- July 19th: After Donald Trump's wife Melania had allegedly plagiarized portions of a speech by Michelle Obama during the 2016 Republican National Convention, his chief strategist (and then press secretary) Sean Spicer compared quotes vaguely similar to lines from the speech, including an out-of-context quote from a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode, to prove that they were common ideas and not necessarily copied. Larry's reaction?Larry: Melania Trump even lifted from Twilight Sparkle?! You couldn't even steal from a medium-sized pony—you had to steal from a little pony. Have you no decency?!
