More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

Wife: "I think I need a meal."

LOL. I almost mentioned that I was probably going to skip the Charlie Sheen episode, too, but I wasn't sure anyone would get the ref.

I ❤️ Conan, but he's not exactly a hard-hitting interviewer, and he lets people slide on controversial stuff.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

It doesn’t matter anymore that Pritzker is an untelegenic billionaire, a thing that should make him political poison. Unless he’s the greatest actor of our generation, he appears genuinely serious about the threat to his constituency while Newsome is, again, good at tweeting.

FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN LOGIC
1. A male is defined by having a penis and testicles
2. God is a male.

Therefore
3. God has balls and a wang.

Ask a fundamentalist how big god’s hog is. No matter how big he says it is, it will be a limit to the infinite size of god and therefore a blasphemy.

I think something we have to do more of is talk about how kickass a lot of American cities are because right now some people think they’re run by Sharia Law nudists and most of us never thought to counter that argument because it’s stupid and doesn’t make any sense
