See, this is why not all old politicians are bad. L Louise Lucas do not sleep on her. Y'all are misreading the moment as "Young" when we really want "Does their f&cking job."

This is doing her job, with relish, I daresay.

"Y'all started it. We f8cking finished it."

Tucker Carlson apologizes for 'misleading' people on Trump: 'We're implicated in this for sure' The former Fox News host, once a prominent supporter of the president, has been vocally opposed to how the president has handled Iran.

No, Tucker, you don't get to be rehabilitated.

Shame on NBC for trying.

The thing about Timothée Chalamet is that he has a vibe that makes you think that if he was on a foreign diplomacy mission, he might start singing old Dylan tunes to a group of nuns that were held captive by an authoritarian regime.
