Every Democrat with a platform need to scream out loud - Trump did this and this is not going to get better. ↘️

Because some of you clearly need a crash course in fossil fuel commodities:
Brent = extracted from North Sea, benchmark for Atlantic crudes
WTI = West Texas International = produced in Texas, another global benchmark (1/2)

While it’s near the West Front doors where Michael Fanone and Danny Hodges were attacked, it’s also in a place where tourists aren’t allowed to go.

I kinda saw this coming unfortunately, I reached out to a former state rep friend of mine who was a Bernie delegate from Maine back in 2016, solid progressive, no baggage, but she didn't want to run. I'm sure Susan Collins loves that it's either the dude with the nazi tat or the 80 year old

You definitely shouldn't call the Pervert Glasses "Pervert Glasses," and you 100% definitely should not call them "Mark Zuckerberg's Pervert Glasses" even though Mark Zuckerberg owns the company that makes the Pervert Glasses so calling them "Mark Zuckerberg's Pervert Glasses" is technically correct

Absolutely love Van Hollen, but it's important to note that the last sitting US senator to be elected president was Barack Obama (who had way more sauce than Van Hollen) and prior to that it was JFK (who also had significant amounts of sauce)

Gotta have sauce

Stefon Diggs punched and choked his personal chef (a woman) and the Patriots delayed the court case until after the Superbowl in the hopes he'd help them win and when your organization is rotten to the core this is what you get. Ask Commanders fans how good it felt when Snyder finally got the boot
