GOP: We are sending armed perverts to assault families. Even babies. We are in open warfare against all things good.

Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?

I invented that thing where you lift a couple of fingers off the steering wheel to say thanks to someone when you're driving. Before that, you had to lean out of your window and give their car a little kiss

This is like if Homer and Barney joined ICE. Look at these silly fucking dickheads.
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Trouble is, and no disrespect to the original poster, but international football is the pure form. No transfer fees, no plutocrats buying clubs as toys. We all saw Cameroon in 1990, Iceland at Euro 2016, I mean there’s a million examples. Lose that, you really are fucked. Good luck everyone!
I’ve always wanted to abolish international football, but today, more than ever.
