Seth Meyers said President Donald Trump has the art of hypocrisy down to a tee.

On Thursday’s broadcast of “Late Night,” Meyers explored the amount of time that Trump has spent playing golf during his first four weeks in office whilst Republican lawmakers have been dealing with protests about his policies at town halls across the country.

After establishing that the president has played six times in one month, Meyers asked, “Are you the president or a San Diego dentist?”

Acknowledging that Trump repeatedly berated former President Barack Obama for playing “too much golf,” Meyers then quipped that “when it comes to being a hypocrite, Donald Trump has a zero handicap.” 

“He’s the Tiger Woods of hypocrisy!” Meyers added.

Awesome PSA Shuts Down Anti-Trans Bigots

A PSA released last year is making the rounds again after President Donald Trump’s decision to rescind protections for transgender students.

Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced that it would lift guidelines put in place by President Barack Obama’s administration, revoking rules that said schools receiving federal funds must treat a student’s gender identity as his or her sex. 

Created by the team at MAC Cosmetics’ AIDS Fund, the video shuts down people with anti-trans stances pertaining to bathrooms. 

“Every year, some fool tries to trick people into thinking this is an issue,” activists said in the video. “And somehow thinks the way to protect privacy and bathrooms is by policing them? The biggest irony is that their solution will create the very thing they’re trying to stop.”

Watch the video above.

Freaky February Heat Waves Trigger More Chills Over Climate Change

function onPlayerReadyVidible(e){‘undefined’!=typeof HPTrack&&HPTrack.Vid.Vidible_track(e)}!function(e,i){if(e.vdb_Player){if(‘object’==typeof commercial_video){var a=”,o=’m.fwsitesection=’+commercial_video.site_and_category;if(a+=o,commercial_video[‘package’]){var c=’&m.fwkeyvalues=sponsorship%3D’+commercial_video[‘package’];a+=c}e.setAttribute(‘vdb_params’,a)}i(e.vdb_Player)}else{var t=arguments.callee;setTimeout(function(){t(e,i)},0)}}(document.getElementById(‘vidible_1’),onPlayerReadyVidible);

A bonkers February with stretches of extremely high temperatures mixed periodically with old-fashioned, pre-climate-change plunging mercury is the latest chilling warning about global warming.

Single-day record highs as well as multiple-day heat waves broke more than 248 month-to-date records for February in spots across the nation, according to the National Center for Environmental Information. 

Temperatures in Oklahoma, home state of new Environmental Protection Agency chief and climate change skeptic Scott Pruitt, nearly reached triple digits earlier this month. The town of Magnum hit an all-time record Feb. 11 of 99 degrees, more than 40 degrees above the average February high.

The rest of  the Southern Plains also blew historic stats out of the water, and Midland, Lubbock, and Wichita Falls, Texas, all racked up temperatures in the 90s the same week. The heat wave was followed by a cold snap in the region that dropped temperatures as much as 50 degrees. 

Milwaukee’s 71 degrees this Wednesday was the highest temperature ever recorded in the state in the winter. (The normal high temperature for the day is 34.5 degrees). It was also the fourth time in February the city hit temperatures over 60 degrees, another all-time record for the state, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. 

Boston hit 68 degrees Thursday, busting its previous record of 65 degrees in 1990. All-time record highs for the month of February were broken Thursday in Burlington (63 degrees) and Montpelier, Vermont (63 degrees).

Denver broke its third record of the month last Thursday, topping out at 75 degrees, a full 5 degrees hotter than the date’s previous record, according to the National Weather Service. Snow was back a week later today.

Unseasonably warm days before cold snaps can have a devastating impact on the environment. Trees and flowers can blossom early in the warn weather, and the buds can then freeze and wither in following cold weather.

The freaky February is expected to continue with more of the same with dozens of new broken records.
