I'm afraid I have very little faith in Representative Swalwell, and his army of anonymous Republicans ready to stop Trump.

They have suddenly decided they don't like Felix Double Meaty, which is a problem because that's all we've got.

Confessing to flag-stealing on camera. That actually IS a crime.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Happy World Cephalopod Day! 🐙This sucker for adventure feels its way through the world!

With thousands of chemical receptors and millions of texture receptors packed into each sucker, the giant Pacific octopus has a real sense for exploration.
