How the hell did John Eastman get a law degree? He’s one unconstitutional idea after another.

It was a Nazi salute. Doesn’t matter if it was intended or “heat of the moment”. It was a Nazi salute.

Sad that Elon can’t just say “my bad” and apologize.

Is this like watching a duel and hoping both participants fatally shoot the other?

"In this sea of opinion/bullshit, people today are much less likely to hit upon genuine information than they were 30 years ago. This bedrock fact means that they’ve become acclimated to relying on opinion/bullshit."
American Folklore
The internet was supposed to spread information and elevate our understanding of the world. Instead it turned us into a primitive people, reliant on folk stories.

The look when MAGA supporters come to you shocked that Ramaswamy & Musk don’t care about them and think they’re trash.

This describes what I’ve expected as maybe not an end, but a cessation of, a hot war in Ukraine since this all started.

I think we can all unite behind hating billionaires.
It’s really not left vs right.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

How is Alina Habba still allowed to practice law? I haven’t read anything on the Judge Kaplan trial that shines anything but an incredibly negative light on her (and her so-called abilities).
