just an entire administration filled with utter incompetents who have zero idea what is going on and zero interest in knowing

Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President should not be allowed to trade stocks.

Ban insider trading now.

It’s insane that we live in a country where folks can walk around in the street with an AR-15.

I’m so delighted to have a new piece in McSweeney’s!

This is, no exaggeration, Trump stealing a billion dollars from the United States. There are other planes for POTUS to use. This one will not be functional during his term for long, if at all.
