Every time there’s a weather system on a forecast that looks a bit like a penis, it gets reposted all over the place with a juvenile WAHEY!

Finally, Trump's diet! Oh my god. The piece closes with RNC Chair Joe Gruters saying he was "shocked" to witness Trump eat "french fries, a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger, a Big Mac and a Filet-O-Fish" in one sitting (5/6)
