The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

Jon Stewart just brilliantly showed the outrageous hypocrisy of the Republicans on when one of “theirs” get murdered and when one of “the other side” gets murdered. He also told a story about the depravity of Mike Lee and what a piece of shit he is!! BRAVO @thedailyshow.com

Wait, is this -- is this real? They actually published a list of books that may or may not exist? (The Last Algorithm by Andy Weir is, for example, not an actual book!) Please, jfc, tell me this isn't real. I'm not finding it online anywhere, which makes me hope it's fake? Gotta be fake, please?

The Prime Minister of a sovereign country came to the United States today and actually had to tell the President of the United States - to his face - that his sovereign country wasn’t for sale. And would never be for sale.
That actually happened today.
