RFK, Jr.: "It's amazing how quickly the flu spreads in crowded classrooms. It's a total mystery. No one knows why."

PETE HEGSETH: "It's a well known fact that the flue *can't* spread in a crowded submarine. Jesus said that. Or did I read it on the bottom of a beer bottle cap? Another mystery, man!"

Sure, he’s deporting citizens, eliminating jobs, healthcare, and education, destroying the economy, and blowing up the world…

But hey, at least we’re gonna get Ultimate Fighting on the White House lawn!

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.

Every day I encounter afresh how unnecessary most human suffering is, how much can be prevented by basic decency and baseline competence.

And encounter afresh how much worse even the worst of this is made by the daily emotional terrorism of a supremacist leader and his morally vacant enablers.

So JD Vance is saying that the United States is knowingly engaging in economic terrorist against the entire world? Cool, cool.

We need more viewpoint diversity among journal referees who read my papers.

More “accept” and “R&R” viewpoints. Fewer “reject” and “this is the worst paper I’ve ever read” viewpoints.

there's nothing scarier than that split second when you lose your balance in the shower and you think,  

'THEY ARE GOING TO FIND ME NAKED.'

Turns out bombing girls in school and crashing the economy are disliked by Americans of all political parties.

Sean Hannity, the Fred Flintstone of shameless propaganda, has declared he will no longer be a Catholic because he worships Donald Trump—and the money it brings in—more.

Sean had to declare publicly that he will no longer be following his faith—because how else would anyone be able to tell?

Steve Bannon pissed his pants on stage at the World Economic Forum, Kash Patel is missing, Pete Kegsbreth is quoting Pulp Fiction as the Bible, RFK, Jr. eats raccoon penis, and Trump keeps using war to milk the markets. No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. Lock them all up.

Yes, and I have a "complicated relationship" with quantum physics. In the sense that, like Donald and the Bible, I've never studied it and have no understanding of it.

Thinking about the 62 million views, and then thinking about how marital rape was only made illegal in all 50 US states in the summer of 1993.

I can remember 1993. I can remember what was on the radio at the time. I had just been in my first movie. It was not so long ago.

A jury has found that Live Nation has been operating as an illegal monopoly.

Live Nation used its dominance to harm customers, artists, and venues alike. Other monopolies take away our freedoms in similar ways.

After intense lobbying, Trump signed executive orders to fast-track data center construction and weaken state-level AI regulations.

AI firms are also pumping huge sums into our elections.
