The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.
Correct.
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
Robert Kennedy would now be 100 years old. But his tragic assassination in 1968 denied him the privilege of watching his children grow up. However, the Senator would have been heartbroken to see the morally indefensible harm RFK Jr. is doing to the nation.

Apologies for being a bit quiet today โ I spent the afternoon at a shelter.
I didnโt expect this, but Iโve just adopted a cat.

It's literally the first three Commandments, Mike.
Nearly 400 members of our military are wounded and there hasnโt been a single public hearing on the war in Iran.
Unacceptable.
In case anyone is still confused
Disgusting.
This is why mass pardoning people for politics is never a good idea.
KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time
RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.
Republicans are funding Trumpโs war in Iran with over 1 trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid. His stupidity is costing more than 15 million people their healthcare coverage. Let that sink in for a minute.
We deserve better than this.

Sean Connery explaining the Chicago way.

Youโre confused. Itโs 34 felony counts, not 34 ships.
Especially that last part
I don't think my day can recover from "I thought it was me as a doctor." Let's call it a wrap.
Who wouldโve guessed? An administration filled with grossly incompetent people, led by the stupidest president to ever occupy the Oval Office, failed to end the illegal war they started.
