He does it all the time. They are not a balanced team…

This guy makes TikToks about his cheap house that’s haunted and they are HILARIOUS.

Oh this is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Love this Dad!

Colbert was incredible. Since CBS doesn’t appreciate him maybe he should go back to this genius character? We could sure use it now. 🇺🇸

Farage promises to build more jails by Our Reform Correspondent Nick Money BRITAIN'S next prime minister, Nigel Farage, has vowed to expand the prison service to deal with the increasing lawlessness in Broken Britain. Farage said it was imperative that we have more prisons to accommodate law-breakers such as Reform MPs. Said Farage, "No, let me finish! We are looking at hundreds more Reform MPs after the next election, and with our vetting systems we are guaranteed to have a vast number of criminal members of Parliament, who have stolen public money or pushed their girlfriends down the stairs." When asked how much all this would cost, the Reform leader explained in great detail that he didn't have a clue and couldn't care less. Farage also promised to send the worst offenders to El Salvador, following a successful pilot programme sending Reform supporters to live in Dubai.

When so much of the media rolls out the comfy red carpet for Farage, Private Eye trips him up and milkshakes him.
Be more Private Eye.

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return
