The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Here's what NO ONE asked for: turning the IRS into ICE. Maybe that’s the plan—make the IRS too busy trying to deport folks so they can’t go after billionaire tax cheats like Trump. Elites don't care who gets hurt as long as they can steal from the rest of us. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Twitter saying Serena Williams corny. Your MAMMY corny bitch. Drake has been harassing her in MUSIC, in PERSON, in INTERVIEWS for years. Sending subs to her EX, Common. Subbing her HUSBAND. She has not said a thing. She is MARRIED WITH 2 KIDS. Men think they own you forever.
