The last president who declared that anything he does is legal was Richard M. Nixon. And we all know how things worked out for him . . .

The president will discuss the economy, but he will also provide important updates about Hannibal Lecter's dinner plans and Arnold Palmer's substantial penis. Additionally, his team of military physicians will reveal the record-setting results of his latest cognitive testing.

This is Tender. He has parvovirus... and he's NOT thrilled about it. His littermate already passed away, but Tender is showing signs of improvement. You can help us cover the cost of his hospitalization and continued care below ❤️‍🩹

Good question, Junior!

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

cool！

This is Katya. She was found as a stray with severe luxating patellas in two legs making it painful to walk. Thanks to your support of our merch @15outof10.org was able to cover her $7,800 lifelong medication and bloodwork to keep her comfortable. She's already feeling better AND she found a home ❤️‍🩹

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)
