My day job is working with newly arrived migrants on the southern border.

My night job is vomitting as much sarcasm as I can muster on the poor, bedraggled residents of Bluesky.

So please, despite abundant evidence to the contrary, do not think for one second that I take these days lightly.
In other news, Donald Trump sues little Jimmy from next door for "five hundred billion gazillion dollars", stating "That will teach him to call me a doodey head."

Jimmy could not be reached for comment as he'd been shoved in back of a black SUV by masked goons.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms.

The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

I haven't met A SINGLE liberal/Progressive/Democrat who has said that anyone in the Epstein Files who is a Democrat should be protected or immune from any crimes they committed.
