I cannot fathom being in the year of our lord 2025, and not only continuing to give Donald Trump money, but being genuinely confused as to when he inevitably grifts you

Like I cannot comprehend how many more years worth of examples you need to have before reality finally sets in

Aww, he reminds me of my old lady who had to be put down earlier this year. She had some janky teeth that made for awesome smiles too!

I’m a firm supporter of throwing bricks at Nazis

As someone who did/does standup on the side for fun, yes

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

If Captain Planet taught me anything, it was that the people trying to save the environment were the bad ones, and the billionaire who named multiple companies after evil objects in the Lord of the Rings is the good guy…hold on a second

It’s objectively funny that Peter Theil thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

Oh Roger, nothing will change the fact that the most you could ever aspire to in life is to be the lap dog and lick the boot of those even you consider better than you

I can’t fathom a more pathetic existence for a man, and you’ve imposed it on yourself. Well done

Pope: you see this link?
