Hmm. I wonder what these things have in common?

The government of the United States, which is controlled by Donald Trump in the presidency, Republicans in the Senate, and Republicans in the House, will shut down in a few hours.

It is the first shutdown since the last time Trump was president and he shut down the government.

Even if Democrats were insisting that they wouldn’t fund the government unless Trump personally underwent gender reassignment surgery on live TV, that doesn’t change the fact that Republicans run the entire goddamn government.

This is 100% on them.

Trump: "They want to have transgender for everybody. These people are crazy -- the Democrats. So if it has to shut down, it'll have to shut down. But they're the ones that are shutting down the government."

I feel like Hulu should do the right thing by us and release all the remaining episodes of #TheTwistedTaleOfAmandaKnox so we can cancel in protest of a fascistic government. But like, once we’re finished with the doc though.

Virtually all incitement to political violence comes from the right.

Virtually all political violence comes from the right.

The right made a felon and rapist POTUS.

Meanwhile, the left keeps nominating for POTUS lawyers who believe in rule of law.

Do *not* let this timeline gaslight you.

Ever.

They want to shut you up. To crush dissent. To end free speech. This is un-American.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

If I didn’t know better I’d guess that was the same guy. But no way it can be with such polar opposite opinions.

The words from Gov Cox of Utah are the words they should be coming from the president of the United States.

Will the media hold him, and people like Nancy Mace accountable for their false accusations?

If your Republican-raised God-fearing kid can be turned into a Weather Underground soldier after one semester of The History of Colonialism at community college, taught by the first socialist they've ever had a conversation with in their lives, then maybe you weren't a very effective parent.

This can’t be accurate because Trump said we took in like $17 trillion in tariffs.

FSU 77, East Texas A&M 3: Seminoles piece together one of program’s most dominant performances in blowout win

With Florida State taking on an FCS program in East Texas A&M for its Week 2 matchup, a blowout was expected — perhaps apprehensively, given FSU’s experiences with them over the last few seasons, but still expected. For the second straight week, the Seminoles produced a shocker. But rather than a seismic-level upset, Florida State […]

Trump riddle answers…

“I don’t know anything about it” = “I knew everything about it”

“I know everything about it” = He doesn’t know anything about it

Trump says he doesn't know 'anything' about reported violent, failed SEAL Team 6 mission in North Korea

The president claimed Friday that he had not heard about a report that detailed a classified 2019 SEAL Team 6 mission in North Korea.

For now I’ll just imagine a bunch of college kids in Italy rocking The Downward Spiral in 2007, which is awesome.

Ok, am I the only one who would be interested in an @amandaknox.com spin off documentary on how they negotiated the rights to get ‘Closer’ in episode 4 from Trent? Probably, actually. #PeelItBack

Kinda bummed Joni “we’re all going to die” Ernst won’t be running for re-election. I thought her presence would make that seat all the more easy to flip.
