The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Buff Batman is very silly to me.

The little Robin drawing turned out cuter than I thought it would, so I went ahead and made an extra page of him.

White dude with camera arrives at daycare and demands to see kids.

Daycare workers keep doors and windows closed.

White dude alleges fraud.

Every Republican backs white dude.

That's the current story in Minnesota.
