This is like watching stop motion animation of two expired beef rectums repeatedly slamming into each other while the Benny Hill theme plays in the background.

"Listen listen!" RFK Jr. croaked, "I have to tell you some other made up things that definitely happened that I'm not just making up right now. OK? You ready? This morning? I pooped a magical wish granting frog. And it told me if you masturbate, you go Autism."

Please can I have a Nobel peace prize, I helped a friend of mine murder a bunch of his neighbours and now I’ve told him to stop, so I’ve definitely done a peace. Give me the prize immediately please, not that anything could possibly go wrong, but just give it to me now, or else.

"And I want to remind you that we agree before this interview you would not ask me if I had even the faintest idea what the word "reasonable" means."

In preparation for the Nobel Peace Prize being announced later this week, White House staff have begun removing all ketchup from the building.

As it turns out, not only were we NOT overreacting, we were underreacting 🫠

How often is this chuckle-head moron going to publicly demonstrate that he has no idea how numbers work? The fucking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, who has been alive 79 YEARS, DOES NOT KNOW that a number can only be reduced by 100%, because that's ALL OF whatever number you're talking about!

It is critically important that we make sure as many people as possible learn the definition of the word "Plenary". I'd post, but I want you to Google it now, because that needs to be the most searched word using Google ever. And I don't think most people have any idea what it means.

My stance is very simple: dems should negotiate as soon as, and not before, every impounded dollar is restored, every illegally fired employee is restored, every unconstitutional act is reversed

I agree this is funny, and I'm not arguing against the functionality of making fun of fascists, but it should also be noted that this is literally the government laying groundwork for the wholesale slaughter of American citizens. Zero hyperbole intended.

Golly, what do you think the chances are the announcement is about her selling some shit, like make-up or clothing or NFT's or supplements or credit cards?

I'm correct in stating that Bari Weiss has zero experience running a Television news company, right? Like, none at all? Well, I'm sure it will be fine. I mean, how difficult could it be, do you think. Couldn't any random person do that job? No? Are you saying you'd have to know things about stuff?

Apparently, MAGA's #1 policy priority is protecting wealthy child molesters.

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

When do you have to get circumcised for it to be "early"?

Max Burbank @mxburbank.bsky.social · 6h

It's not (at least as of yesterday) in the NYT or WAPO or CNN, unless Goggle has fucked with their search and made it so nothing about it comes up when you search for it. There is ZERO functional, uncorrupted traditional media left in this country.

What poor staffer is Jesse Waters going to make take the fall for this? And does he realize that in order to blame someone else, Waters will have to admit that he interviewed the same guy multiple times and thought he was multiple different people. It's the classic "I'm a fucking moron" defense.

John Mitchell went to jail for his "work" as Nixon's AG, and Pam Bondi makes Mitchell look like Mister frikkin' Rogers.
