When Karen finds out little Kaydyn is no longer going to get a learning support assistant at his wealthy, overwhelmingly white suburban public school, she’s going to lose her botox’d shit.

And she’s going to know who did this to her and she’s going to want to talk to the Republicans’ manager.

That’s not tariff-induced inflation it’s freedom pricing.

This is so unfair!

Nurses are used to cleaning up after super old people like you.

We are in a battle to save our democracy from fascists and all tired, geriatric, selfish Democrats like Markey can think about is how much they love the staff and attention that comes with being a Senator.

What a fucking traitor.

Coronary artery disease? Some leeches and a little bleeding should cure you right up.

Would Mainers seriously elect a 77 yo to the Senate? The Dem party being run by out-of-touch geriatrics is how we got into this problem.

If we are going to save this country from the Republicans we have to start with how badly the Democratic Party is run and step 1 is fresh blood.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

As a billionaire hedge fund manager it really jacks my jimmie when Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg bogart the window seats on the M22.

I think we can all agree Trump should be awarded the Nubile Prize for his sustained commitment to the sexual assault of young girls.
