If #StephenMiller is the worst case scenario of what happens when men can't get dates, is it safe to say #BariWeiss is the female equivalent?

As with every other industry in America, we're now seeing the same handful of owners controlling all the professional sports teams.

So basically not only is it the ugliest vehicle ever put on the road, it's almost the poorest performing. That Elon sure is a genius, huh?

Everybody stream "Come Clean" by Jeru the Damaja on repeat all weekend to rectify this in the most hip-hop way imaginable.

No rap songs are in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 40 for the first time since 1990

No Rap Songs Are in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 40 for the First Time Since 1990

No rap songs have ranked in the top 40 on the last two Billboard Hot 100 charts, following Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther" dropping off the chart.

Why exactly are we so afraid of Democratic Socialism? We don't know if it would work in America. But we do know capitalism is most certainly NOT.

This is what happens when mediocre nepo babies hang around long enough that everyone realizes they're mediocre...

This actually gets right to the heart of why so many have been slow to identify Trump's dementia. He was always an idiot and a lunatic. So it's easy to confuse is dementia related decline is simply more of his idiocy and lunacy, when in fact he is now a triple threat of incompetence.

Black and Brown people. PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of us all do not allow yourself to be interviewed if SNAP benefits don't come on November 1. Make the white folks do the interviews. They love getting Black folks to do these interviews so that people think we are the only ones hurt.

You can sell white people their own demise if you wrap it up in racism they agree with. This is what we keep seeing.

It doesn’t matter what the fuck is inside as long as it’s packaged in a way that the main point reads “we hate the same people you hate”.

This is what happens when you fire or run off all the actual journalists from your opinion section.

Especially since many of the masked terrorists may not, in fact be law enforcement at all.

Well Trump has no heart, and he has no mind. So, fitting he's demolishing both - one literally and the other symbolically... for now.

And ICE is now the world's largest terrorist group, meaning Donald Trump is the world's largest funder of terrorism.

Calling it now. #Trump's gold plated Beverly Hillbillies "ballroom" will never be built. When he's rolled out of The #WhiteHouse on that presidential gurney, he will simply leave a gaping mess where the East Wing used to be. Just ask the people of Atlantic City. That's what Trump does.

It was a demonstration, not a protest. The difference being the former is demonstrated solidarity and resolve, not tied to a specific ask.
