"...and then ICE raided places in LA but Dr. Phil was there and then everyone got mad and the guy from that TV show in the early 2000s said he was sending in the military but they were being led by a Fox News weekend host." Our reality sounds like a fever dream.

This article is a microcosm of the broader issue with the press. The headline should read something like “Made-Up Quotation from Golfing Legend Used to Justify Corruption.” I don’t care about Sam Snead, but it’s ridiculous that you have to read to the end to find the quote is falsely attributed.

Ick. No. No no no. I will not vote for this vision of "leadership" in the future and if politicians are looking to earn (at least my) Michigander trust and vote, they should show some spine.

What a gift to the Liberal party. "Hey Canadians, you should elect someone smart. But also, that person should then turn your amazing country of 41 million people into a single state." 😂🤌

I see that we are back to exploring the Quantum Nature of Taxation, wherein tariffs are both going away soon as a result of incredible deal-making and are also generating massive ongoing revenue as a way to combat poverty.

This. Just... 🤦‍♂️ Pro tip: don't vote for someone who says a mix of things "in jest" and things seriously and it's impossible to tell them apart.
