The truth is Jesus could return tomorrow (he'd be brown, just to be clear), Trump would declare him a fake, Jesus would literally heal the sick in public, and the majority of Christians in America would opt to follow Trump.

If you listened to this week's episode, you heard our discussion of Tholian anatomy. Here's how they appeared in the 1989 guidebook Worlds of the Federation, which included this illustration. (Later renderings gave Tholians more of a spider-like lower body.) #startrek #timetravel

Every day, political personalities remind us how much a lifetime of hate can speed up the aging process. Another member of Trump's cabal is in the spotlight this week, and that means it's time once again for a game of "...Wait, that Bitch is HOW Old??"

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

All the morons in this administration could've just lived their whole lives just quietly engaging with their built-in audiences, but their egos forced them to be dipshits in front of the whole world.

I'll say this, he died in the version of America he wanted. I'm not happy about what happened, but I think we can all rest easy knowing he would've been fine with it.

Ashli Babbitt Already Got What She Deserved

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

She doesn't deserve full military honors.

Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president?

Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

I'm at a resort in Wisconsin, and I had a dream last night that Trump was here trying to get people to buy a copy of a book he wrote titled "Kneel Before God," and the most unbelievable part of it was that he understood that the title was a reference to Superman.

At this point, there isn't much I can learn about the Star Wars films that I don't already know, but TIL this guy's name is "Pagetti" and I've been giggling about it for like 20 minutes.
