Certified geezer. I was 23 in my profile pic, which was taken in 1989. I don't look like that anymore but I keep the pic in order to prove I was once handsome.

Garcia: First, let’s be very honest about what’s happening. This is a White House cover-up. They are now involved in an illegal cover-up of the Epstein files. They’re defying Congress. They’re defying their own base. They’re lying to the American people.

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply?

MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

Translation of the letter sent from Venezuela to the United Nations. Apologies if the translation is not exact. And to be clear, Venezuela, we Americans do not want war. We are dealing with a mad king.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.
