TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

They created a fairy tale land for one grandpa and he's having the time of his life. His entire reality is like that thing where the brain releases a bunch of euphoric chemicals when it's dying

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

I like how antifa existing in Weimar era Germany is now considered a bad thing by the US government.

This certainly does not portend any problems for us in the future.

"You were out on the island today?" said the landlady.

"Yes," I said, "I had been looking out at it here for decades ..."

"And you thought you'd better get a move on," she said.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Perfect pub walks on C4 with Alexander Armstrong.

Getting paid shedloads to go to the pub. How does one get such a gig. Do you have to go to the right type of school?

If you even remotely support the Genocide in #Gaza, or in any way the actions of Israel, I hope you’re proud of this number.

“That there’s a damn shame, Bill. Yeah, no, sorry, I didn’t see anything. I was visiting my sister’s tree over on Morgan. I’ll ask around and let you know if I hear something, though. Geez, what a world, am I right? Anyway, your homeowners policy should cover it, no?”
