I guess he just got lucky.

I just can't wait for Donald Trump to congratulate that great young American champion Fernando Mendoza, grandson of four Cuban immigrants.

Personally, dropping that speech and then letting the walking scrotum stew is exactly the right approach in this moment. Anything else, the turnip would interpret as kissing his ring and seriously - enough of that shit.

In this incredibly ugly week, with a madman literally threatening World War III because he wants Greenland and his toadies do nothing to stop him, seeing Lane Hutson and Cole Caufield make a fool out of Bill Guerin was beautiful.
Screw you, Guerin. And your Team USA. And the dictator you admire.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

You don't get to say that in retrospect. 24m O CO Halligan: Yes I do. Off record. 23m O Bower: i am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked.

There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story. 6m O

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

This is absolutely bonkers.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?

This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

The GOP was already freaking out about the impending Trump effect on the midterms.

Now they’re fucking terrified.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

Masked faces, no IDs shown, no legal warrants presented as they assault and violate our Constitutionally protected rights. in other words, committing crimes without any traceable documentation.
