I hear Spencer and Bomani talking about how sketchy the President of Argentina looks. Frankly, I was not prepared for "Alec Baldwin on the Righteous Gemstones" levels of sketchy.

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.
