I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner, a warm, welcome presence in front of and behind the camera that has been taken from us far too soon.

Might have just spent an unreasonable amount of time exploring what a trip to Morocco for the knockout round of AFCON in January might look like.

I’ve been looking for a Colbert quote to post that did suitable justice to my reference for him. I think this might be it.

A sketch Donald Trump made of the Manhattan skyline is up for auction And (surprise!) Trump Tower figures prominently.

β€œI never wrote a picture in my life.”

Notably, this Donald Trump heavy marker-drawn doodle, which sold at auction in 2019, is dated 2004.

Epstein’s 50th birthday was in 2003. www.washingtonpost.com/arts-enterta...

Take the flowers and kick his ass back out to the curb.

In this case, I will drink my delicious real sugar coca cola at the best party I can fathom when he’s no longer in office.

Most of them would have left the church a long time ago if they were actually consistent.

And yes, obviously they didn’t care as much about it as they claimed to because most of them would have left the church a long time ago if they had.

That’s exactly my point. At least they could claim that it was about child sex trafficking.

But now the farce of that is clear to everyone.

Truly, one of the only redeemable things about MAGA was that they believed that child sex trafficking was so morally wrong that it was worth burning it all down to investigate and now they don’t even have that.

In a primary where he was a relatively new candidate. Obama did terribly with Black voters early on too. What’s your point?

Andrew Cuomo announcing his independent campaign on Twitter and immediately getting murderously ratioed by Mamdani's fundraising link response to the tweet is absolute comedy hours. Never seen anything like it.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.
