Oh god does that mean there are going to be 97 parts to this?

JD so wants to be in on the joke.

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is

Once the consultants finish poll testing a response to this, Hakeem Jeffries gonna be so mad maybe

Some more New York #NoKings

Frogs together strong, New York City edition. #NoKings

The more he whines about this, the happier I am that Obama got it just for not being George Bush.

Has anyone else's mom become obsessed with sharing Portland frog memes on Facebook?

The headlines refusing to acknowledge it’s his second annual in 6 months are how we got here
