Trump actually taking Maria Corina Machado's earned Nobel Peace Prize is such a pathetically sad and needy thing to do. Everyone knows how to manipulate Donald because he has no pride in the face of meaningless flattery.
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado met President Donald Trump at the White House as part of her push for greater influence in the wake of Nicolas Maduro’s ouster

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.
This is Kirk's legacy.
You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Note to Kristi Noem:
It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

Deion Sanders jokes he “depends on Depends” and “if you see a Port-a-Potty on the sideline, it’s real.”
He also encourages everyone who is dealing with urinary struggles, and says “let’s stop being ashamed of it”

I've really loved that Paul McCartney has been ending his shows with "Golden Slumbers" / "Carry That Weight" / "The End" in recent years. Quiet emotional devastation from late-period Beatles given its proper due.

The IRS Direct File program is very popular with the American people. It is not, however, popular with companies that file your taxes for a fee.
So I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Marsha Blackburn sided with H&R Block over the American people after taking money from H&R Block's PAC.
