I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

An octopus doesn't have ears but it can detect low-frequency sounds using organs called statocysts. The brain is also decentralized; in addition to the one in the mantle, each arm has brain-like abilities.
I really don't know what to say.
This actually isn't clickbait.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.
