The truth is out there; I was told all about it in a chain email I was sent that linked to a website called therealtruthaboutobamasbirthcertificate.net.

Easy dub for the Cranes, as they know Seal Team 6's weakness: being forced to fight in full 1960's scuba gear on land.

Hope it doesn't happen, but basically the only upside I can see of the resumption of fighting between Israel and Palestine would be that Donald sitting in front of a PEACE 2025 will become this generation's "W in front of the 'Mission Accomplished' banner" moment

Not sure what the implications of that are, and it's weird to be looking to a secular earthly authority on matters of the afterlife, but given how muddled his brain is at this point, I could see it being a thought that he has rattling around in there.

Donald's been talking a lot about heaven, and is also playing for a Nobel Peace Prize. The latter is mostly Obama jealousy, but I'm beginning to think he thinks it'll help with the former too; that God's waiting for some Swedes to give Him the thumbs up before letting him through the pearly gates.

Dennis Miller once joked that fat guys were the canary in the coal mine of freedom; that the last time we saw a people getting uniformly fit was Germany in the 1930's. Would love to hear his opinion on that joke becoming government policy.

I imagine that there's a lot that Walt Disney refuses to acknowledge, given that he's been dead for like 60 years.

Given how Penn already sold out and erased Lia Thomas's existence at the behest of the regime, I think we can place them in the "die" camp.

Dude's clearly distracted thinking about all of those women out there working outside of the home.

Keisean Nixon was out there daring them to call him for PI every play, and still couldn't stop Chase from scoring. Like, sure, Nixon is a kick returner who should never be covering your WR1, but it still shows how good Chase is to brush off all of that contact.

I didn't know about Thiel's obsession with Watchmen, but it makes sense; he strikes me as the kind of guy who would unironically see Rorschach as a kind of aspirational hero.

Think about how gross the average aftermath of a six year old eating is and then look me in the eye and say that elementary school lunch workers/custodians, who are cleaning up after dozens if not hundreds of kids, don't deserve to be some of the highest paid people in our society. Fucking heroes.

Even if it's not their position, it is the logical consequence of their policy. They didn't want to admit what they're actually doing, because they know that apart from a few (but not free enough, sadly) rabidly racist ghouls, people would rightly call that monstrous.

He's not so much "unstoppable" as "surrounded by sycophants and opportunists who have no interest in stopping him." Any opposition with some actual power and some bite and he falls over crying about how the Dems are obstructing him; hell, he does that now even when they aren't.
