I don’t know, I think it’s a pretty low bar that the potential “Joe Rogan of the left” not be a misogynistic antisemitic animal abuser.

“Trump tells sailors not to ‘worry about’ paychecks as shutdown continues”

There isn’t a failsafe for military pay this time

1 in 3 “military families has less than $3,000 in savings,
[and]… nearly 1 in 4 service members has trouble putting food on the table.”

Trump tells sailors not to ‘worry about’ paychecks as shutdown continues

All troops will miss a paycheck if Congress does not agree on a deal to reopen the government before Oct. 15, the next pay date for the military.

Like, cake stuck to the side of the pan with hardened frosting so it becomes like cake jerky.

Stale cake.

Like, cake that wasn’t covered for two days and will crack your teeth when you try and eat it.

Rookie year Shaq was the closest thing to a WWE character in a real sport.

I shoulda mentioned take your antidepressants, lol.

Don’t take advice because nobody has ever lived through what’s about to happen. Make mistakes. Live life. Become a low level alcoholic. Try that drug you always wanted. Travel. Society will probably fall apart before you’re 50 so enjoy shit now. Moisturize. Drink water. Get a dog.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
