An Army helicopter hits a commercial airliner, a Lear jet crashes into a Philly neighborhood and now we straight up LOOSE an airplane in Alaska. Anybody think it's a coincidence we've had the worst week in US aviation in decades right after Trump and Elon gut the FAA?

If only drugs were as deadly as Republicans spent the last 40 years trying to convince us they were.

FFS 😡😡😡

Remember all the stories about one fucking Republican single-handedly blocking all of Obama and Biden's actions and policies and creating havoc in the news everday during their presidencies? Fun times.

"May 'Call somebody who cares' be perpetually be scrawled by vandals on John Kennedy's urine-soaked gravestone." is my new wedding toast.

I feel like we could save the country with a couple of sexy Bugs Bunnys.

At least we don't have to pretend we take the 2nd Amendment bros blathering on about standing up to tyranny seriously anymore.

A "correspondent" is someone who communicates by letters; in this context, a person employed by a news agency to gather news from a distant place. The ability to spell one's own job title doesn't seem to be a requirement to work for Steve Bannon's War Room.

From the Miriam-Webster Dictionary: WE, pronoun; 1, I and the rest of a group that includes me : you and I : you and I and another or others : I and another or others not including you —used as pronoun of the first person plural.

Every time a pardoned J6er gets shot by police, a trans person gets properly gendered by a stranger for the first time.

Welcome to the Find Out Phase brought to you by FuckAround47: China bans 100% of its rare earth mineral exports to the US which tanks Nvidia stock and the US tech market then launches Deep Seek AI which overtakes Open AI and Chat GPT in global downloads.

"Tow the line" is considered a malapropism and is always a misspelling. It's a common mistake for the idiom "toe the line," meaning to follow rules or conform to expectations, which invokes the image of athletes placing their toes on the starting line of a race.

The richest man in Rome was Marcus Lincinius Crassus. He made his fortune from mines and enslaved people. He supported the political career of Julius Cesar, who ended the Roman Republic by declaring himself emperor.

The county of Colombia uses the Spanish-derived spelling of Christopher Columbus' name, Cristóbal Colón, which differs from the North American preference which follows the Italian spelling.

If more people had made the Spin Doctors their whole personality instead of Papa Roach, we wouldn't be here.

Why Trump couldn't put his hand on the Bible for the oath of offiice...

The TikTok ban feels like the class bully stole your sandwich outta your bag then hands it back halfway through lunch all apologetic but now you don't wanna eat it 'cuz you don't know what he did to it all that time.

Who is gonna be Trump's Jamie Lannister?

I've taken shits longer than the TikTok ban.

Biden's last minute progressive executive orders—declaring the ERA the law of the land, removing Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism etc.—could have been done on day one instead of his last days in office so we'd get 4 years of benefit and precident instead of Trump undoing it all next week.

The 250,000 MAGA supporters who are heading to DC to see the Inauguration but can't because it's been moved inside now have the chance to do the funniest thing.

Of all the conservative conspiracies, the "Hollywood liberal elite are brainwashing your children" is, by far, the most laughable because what I've seen is 20 years of Hollywood convincing young men maybe they ought to hear the villains out.

Trump appoints Dr. Acula to run the American Red Cross.

The Gaetz Report ought to make like Trump's diaper and leak.

If only Trump had announced his plans for tarrifs and to appoint RFK to HHS BEFORE the election so farmers could have made an informed decision.

"How can you protest child labor when you, yourself, participate?" -Me, teaching my son about malicious ambiguity as he does his chores.

I hope it involves learning a Haka because their resistance game so far has been wishing Trump well, promising a smooth transition, and generally offering up your belly.
