Hate speech is not "dark humor."
Also - and this is SO FUCKING MINOR - and far be it from me to comment on ANYONE'S APPEARANCE... but um... those are the guys that think they're superior?!
Those guys?
Seriously?!

The one thing you hear consistently from Republicans over 40 is that the younger kids are just completely something else. And by something else, they mean fascists.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

This George W Bush?
Yeah I'm not holding my breath...

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH ON THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION:

CRAWFORD, TEXAS — I congratulate President Trump on his election as 47th President of the United States of America, as well as Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and their families.

I also thank President Biden and Vice President Harris for their service to our country.

The strong turnout in this election is a sign of the health of our republic and the strength of our democratic institutions. Laura and I are grateful to the election officials, poll workers, and volunteers who oversaw a free, fair, safe, and secure election.

We join our fellow citizens in praying for the success of our new leaders at all levels of government. May God continue to bless our great country.

Superb & eviscerating take on the situation at CBS by John Oliver and @lastweektonight.com. As I’ve noted, the new billionaire owners create a mirrortocracy, pretend it’s a meritocracy & hire a mediocrity to get there. But it is not about innovating & supporting journalism.
