Imagine sucking so much that countries where you’re not on the ballot vote against you

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

"I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountainside where he smote it in his ruin." Those were the days, hunh? #LOTR

Obviously, everyone has forgotten every lesson they ever learned from watching The Partridge Family reruns... #GenX

Folks. He's a Russian asset. It's not that difficult.

The Headline: "Mr. Beast weighs in on Trump Tariffs" is everything that's wrong with the US in 7 words. #MediaLiteracy

Unpopular Opinion: Whatever most of you think, I feel differently.

this is genuinely wild, they really put the protest coverage in fine print font newrepublic.com/article/1936...

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.
