Rotting whale is a very economical cut and as long as you know how to prepare it, it can be quite tasty.

Multiple luxury planes with multiple opulent sex dens.
I hope this doesn’t mean she is cheating on Corey Lewandowski.

I went to Catholic grade school for a couple of years, and I still remember one of the words the nuns taught us: infallible.

What a totally bizarre choice by the Washington Post for art to accompany this story. β€œ4 dead on US speedboat” illustrated with an idyllic photo of children playing by the water. Must have spent at least 10 seconds searching the stock photo database to find this. How embarrassing

In other words, the Trump administration has so little confidence in its ability to successfully prosecute Maduro, they are going to prevent him from putting on a defense.

At least we concur on the appropriate level of confidence to have in DOJ.

Remember when James Inhofe (R-OK) threatened the entire Senate chamber with a snowball? We barely avoided a bloodbath that day.

I think β€œstunts” to steal headlines are especially important in a situation, like last night, where Trump’s performance was a giant nothing burger. There were no new initiatives, no memorable quotes, no nothing. Rep. Al Green calling out Trump’s childish racism becomes the story.

IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.

One of the ushers tried to take her blanket away from her, but Corey Lewandowski rushed in and fired the guy.

New reports reveal that an army of 18,784 bots artificially boosted Nicki Minaj's recent X posts praising Donald Trump and JD Vance.

The fake profiles made 31,701 comments on her posts.

1. On January 23, Crypto.com donated $5 million to MAGA Inc, Trump's primary Super PAC. (The donation was first disclosed in a FEC filing Friday night.)

Less than 1 month later, on February 17, the Trump administration intervened on Crypto.com's behalf in a high-stakes federal lawsuit.
