The Met Gala raised a record $31 million this year, museum officials announced on Monday, the biggest gross in the event’s 77-year history. But the lavish event comes with a price tag of its own. nyti.ms/44oCggR

The MAGA erasure of Jackie Robinson and subsequent meltdown is crystal clear proof it's a racist movement. If people don't want to see it or acknowledge it, that's fine, but the rest of us see it clearly.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

"Kamala didn't get to do Hot Ones. She should've done Rogan" is what we're talking about in 2024 when a plurality of American voters decided to elect a criminal sexual assaulter to the White House.

This country is terminally self-destructive and ignorant.

DEI For White Supremacy: Donald's Extremely Incompetent Cabinet

DEI initiatives are back in the White House, except this time it's only for white candidates who are the most corrupt, mediocre, incompetent, compromised, and loyal to Donald Trump and his fickle ego.

This guy remains a fucking weirdo. Those may technically be the words of Cormac McCarthy, but they're uttered by a sociopathic killer (Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men) and are a statement of an unrepentant nihilistic world view. Great attitude for a possible future POTUS, right?
