Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

Every Trump post about the Epstein files I read in his South Park "Relaaaax, guy!" voice.

Trump says the Epstein Files are a Democrat hoax, but only Democrats were guilty of crimes with Epstein.
He says the DOJ should stop releasing files and everyone should stop talking about it, but also the DOJ should charge Democrats with crimes.
This is how you talk when you’re guilty as hell.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Sigh. The NFL and their stupid fucking rulings. Guessing that Woody Marks TD doesn't count as a Rushing TD because they called that snap back to him a fumble. Can't wait to lose my fantasy football playoff matchup because of that. Assholes

Last month, Denny's was bought out by private equity in a $620 million deal.
Now the company is closing 150 locations.
It's the latest chain to be swallowed by private equity and see numerous workers lose their jobs.
