Serious question: I keep seeing people talking about impeachment, whether it's against Trump or Bondi, or whatever. Who are the 20 GOP senators that would vote to convict? Otherwise it's pointless.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

As is tradition, I need to follow this with my favorite version I've done of this joke:
"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 implies the existence of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Fuck Me" and "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Marry Me."
