It's going to take a generation to undo the damage that RFK and his crew of ignorant fucknoramuses are inflicting on public health.

I didn't think it was possible for there to be someone more insufferable than Riley Gaines, but here we are.

I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Charlie Brown ever got the best of him.

All of these changes to the White House- the tacky gold plating on everything, the tearing up of the Rose Garden, the demolition of the East Wing...

These are not the actions of someone who sees himself as a short term tenant.

Trump has no intention of leaving willingly in 2029.

I am officially boycotting Sara Lee bagels until they return to six bagels in a package.

Say what you will about Joe Biden, but when he was President, my Sara Lee Everything Bagels came six to a package, not five.

Wait until Sinclair Broadcasting finds out there are other ways for people to watch TV shows besides their local affiliate stations!

Is this Melania or Carmen San Diego?

Is "Because he's a fucking pussy" an acceptable reason?

So, Brian Kilmeade gets to apologize for saying we should kill all the homeless people and keep his job, but Agnes Turtlebaum, a file clerk from Fartberg County, TN, absolutely MUST be fired for pointing out that Charlie Kirk was kind of an asshole.

Hot take:

People shouldn't lose their jobs for being posthumously critical of Charlie Kirk.

I don't say this with any sort of prescience, but it is worth noting that Kristallnacht began in reaction to the assassination of a German Diplomat in Paris on November 7, 1938.

I am fearful of what is to come in the next few days.

The main difference between RFK Jr. and Josef Mengele is that Mengele actually went to Medical School.

You love to see it.
The Oklahoma Schools Superintendent, a religious extremist, is in hot water after having porn on a screen during a meeting.

I know 'separation of church and state' was never gonna happen with this guy, but I guess I assumed we'd at least get 'separation of school meetings and Pornhub.'

J.D. Vance meets the Pope.

Two days later, the Pope is dead.

Coincidence?

Someone needs to develop a "Which 'Zone of Interest' character are you?" quiz for Trump supporters to take.

The entire world experiencing secondhand embarrassment at that woman singing "Emelia..." at the end of her speech.

My Washington Post subscription is provided for free by my employer, so it doesn't make sense to cancel it.

But at least they're not getting money from me.

I am blocked on Twitter by the new Deputy Director of the FBI because I once made fun of him for losing three different Congressional elections in two different states.

Elon Musk bringing his three year old kid with him everywhere reminds me of when Lt. Commander Data got himself a cat in order to feel more human

Is there a way to opt out of this Gulf of America horseshit on Google Maps?
February 11, 2025 at 3:14 AM
I feel like this entire Constitutional crisis would be over if someone... anyone... would just punch Elon in the face.

He'd crumple like a House of Cards.
