Fucking hell, this is so good.

"OK but what is your PLAN?" Bish I am sitting at the back of this plane. I'm just willing to point out that the driver is gargling everclear and flying directly at the ground while reading a book titled HOW TO FLY AIRPLANES INTO THE GROUND.

What is MY plan? What is OUR plan? You're here too.

Trump and Vought’s RIFs had to go through Bobby “the Quack” Jr’s approval.

MMWR was the early alert system that told doctors to be on the lookout for Gay-Related Immune Deficiency (and just about every other pandemic/epidemic since the 70s

I SAY IT AGAIN: GET IN LOSER WERE URBANIZING CALIFORNIA

Man, you have a patience of a saint with these idiots.

The thing about xenophobic policy that we have learned EVERY SINGLE TIME SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME is that it doesnt pay economically literally ever, including for the ethnic majority, and yet

Another day, another hit to our democracy as Trump’s corruption of the DOJ continues. AG Bondi is his tool for prosecuting his political targets.

Normalizing this is how democracies die. I refuse to accept it — and the American people shouldn’t either.

The headline for this should be "Trump has no idea what is in his Gaza peace plan", but there isn't enough spines to go around in the media.

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.
